Post No. 2,988 The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Toward the end of this Blog is a list of the Dow 30 current CEOs, and a recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and a summary of recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's & Investor's Business Daily; the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of the Wall Street Journal & Financial Times; & Saturday's issues of New York Times & Atlanta Journal & Constitution yielded the following stories about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 component companies and the Dow with stories about the Dow aggregated first and then items about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 companies presented alphabetically, followed by a separate table of Dow component's symbol and Friday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 17832.99 up 9.92 or 0.06% from Wednesday's close of 179823.07. For the week the Dow was down 220.72 or 1.22% from last Friday's close of 18053.71. For the year the Dow is up 0.1%. Of the Dow components 14 gained and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Visa up $2.82 or 1.08%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Home Depot down $1.54 or 1.47%.
IBD pB9 "Year starts with stumble: stocks erase early gains" by Paul Whitfield says stocks began the new year with a negative reversal as the market uptrend continued to struggle as Friday's action was down in mixed vol while the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
WSJ pB5 "Stocks take a holiday with weekly decline" by Saumya Vaishampayan says US stocks ended mixed Fri. with the Dow eking out a gain on the first trading day of '15.
FT p12 "Wall street" by Mamta Badkar says after posting its 3rd straight year of double digit gains in '14, with 53 new closing highs, the S&P 500 slipped amid low trading vol in the shortened working week.
Sat. NYT pB2 "Market mixed as investors assess outlook for 2015" by AP says stocks got off to a sluggish start on the first day of trading in '15. The market climbed to record levels at the end of '14 and investors may now be reassessing the outlook for stocks. While prospects for economic growth in the US look decent, in Europe and Asia they are less encouraging.
As of the open of the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B6 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.74 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.88 (last year it was 16.96). Monday's P/E estimate is 15.61 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.93 (year ago it was 14.75) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.43 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.41 (last year it was 2.07). The Dow's all-time high was 18053.71 on December 26, 2014. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2776.88 up 1.54 from Wednesday's numerator of 2775.34. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices. A short cut to the Dow numerator is to multiply the closing Dow by the Divisor. Now, if you divide the Dow numerator change for today by the divisor (0.15571590501117) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.42 change in the Dow Index.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $92.56 up 5 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $92.51. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $92.93 (XOM/AXP) up 18 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $92.75 (XOM/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
If Friday morning before the market opened you had purchased 100 shares of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs or dividends) and sold at the close you would have made $154 ($277,688 - $277,534).
1/2/15 Fri. 4:08 pm MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis says U.S. stocks on Friday closed roughly where they started the session, with the S&P 500 SPX, -0.03% inching lower by 0.73 point to 2,058.17, according to early FactSet data. The benchmark index rose as much as 0.7% out of the gate, as 2015's first day of trading started on an upbeat note. But then stocks gave up their early-morning gains following weaker-than-expected readings for construction spending and the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index, before recovering to finish essentially flat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.06% edged up by 9.92 points, or less than 0.1%, to close Friday at 17,832.99, halting a three-day losing streak. For the week, the S&P 500 lost 1.5%, and it's on a three-day losing streak. The Dow dropped 1.2% for the week.
