Post No. 3,039 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 as of Feb. 1 and a summary of recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of Feb. 1.
A read of the print editions of Friday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & Constitution and Daily Report (Ga. -carries Bloomberg) 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 Thursday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 17884.88 up 211.86 or 1.20% from Wednesday's close of 17673.02. For the year the Dow is up 0.35%. Of the Dow components all 30 gained and none declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise Visa up $6.91and percentage-wise was DuPont up 3.06%.
NYT pB9 "Oil prices recover; and stocks sprint higher again" by AP says the marked surged putting the Dow on track for its best week since '11. Investors were encouraged by a 4% jump in the price of crude oil and Pfizer's purchase of Hospira.
FT p19 "Wall St" by Eric Platt, Mamta Badkar says US stocks were led higher by rising oil prices which lifted the energy and materials sectors
IBD pB3 "Stocks build confidence, but obstacles remain" by Paul Whitfield says stocks rolled ahead Thurs and ended up in lower vol while the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.85 down from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.92 (last year it was 15.10). Today's P/E estimate is 15.83 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 15.83 (year ago it was 14.15) and today's dividend yield is 2.46 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.47 (last year it was 2.23). 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.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2784.96 up 32.99 from Wednesday's numerator of 2751.97. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $92.83 up $1.10 from Wednesday's average closing price of $91.73. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.82 (WMT/XOM) up 76 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $89.06 (WMT/XOM. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
If Thursday 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 $3,299 ($278,496 - $275,197).
2/5/15 Thurs. 4:50 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says U.S. stocks recorded solid gains on Thursday, buoyed by a rebound in oil prices, deal news and upbeat quarterly earnings, pushing the S&P 500 and Dow industrials into positive territory for the year. A more than 4% jump in oil prices sent energy and materials sharply higher, while news that Pfizer plans to buy Hospira Inc. for about $16 billion lifted health-care sector stocks.
Better-than-expected earnings from companies, such as O’Reilly Automotive Inc. and Estée Lauder Cos. added to confidence. The S&P 500 SPX, +1.03% closed 21 points, or 1%, higher at 2,062.50, with broad-based gains across all 10 main sectors. Some analysts pointed out that Friday’s move on the index will prove important, if it breaks through a key January resistance level of 2,064.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.20% jumped 212 points, or 1.2%, to 17,885, with all of its 30 components ending higher. Drug giant Pfizer led gains.The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.03% ended the day up 48 points, or 1%, at 4,765. Biotechnology stocks rose sharply, with the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF gaining 2.4%.Investors seemed to have momentarily dismissed Greek concerns, with the latest development being the European Central Bank’s decision to no longer accept Greek bonds as collateral. They also shrugged off a batch of mixed economic data. Weekly jobless claims came in stronger than expected, setting an optimistic tone for the key jobs report due on Friday. However, productivity in the fourth quarter shrank by a 1.8% annual pace. The trade deficit soared to a two-year high in December, mostly due to temporary oil-related shifts. Gene Peroni, Jr., portfolio manager at Advisors Asset Management, said the stock market is focusing on better-than-expected earnings.“We are seeing that growth stocks are outperforming and that leadership in the market is encouraging and indicates that this bull market will rise further,” Peroni said. Peroni dismissed recent volatility and a weak performance in January. “Recent volatility is driven by hedge-fund activity, as seen by massive reallocation into growth stocks,” he added.
Carin Pai, portfolio manager at Fiduciary Trust, said stock markets are benefiting from oil prices stabilizing.
