Post No. 3,041 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 Monday's Barron's & Investor's Business Daily; the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of the Wall Street Journal & Financial Times; Saturday's 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 17824.29 down 60.59 or 0.34% from Thursday's close of 17884.88. For the week the Dow was up 659.34 or 3.84%. For the year the Dow is up 0.01 %. Of the Dow components 11 gained and 19 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $2.66 and percentage-wise was Verizon up 3.07%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Visa down $4.38 and percentage-wise was Intel down 1.9%.
IBD pB8 "Stocks indexes retreat, prove unable to end directionless trend" by Paul Whitfield says stocks sagged Fri as the action was sags in mixed vol while the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
WSJ pB5 "Stocks lose steam after jobs data" by Corrie Driebusch says a robust US jobs report rippled through the markets Fri sending stocks & gold lower & bond yields higher in a sign that traders are bracing for Us interest rates to rise later this year. JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs were two of the top performing Dow firms gaining $1.12 and $2.66 respectively.
FT p12 "Wall street" by Mamta Badkar, Eric Platt says the s&P gained 0.4%.
sat. NYT pB2 "Strong Jobs report whets investors' appetities for risk" & Sat. AJC pA10 "Hiring surge sinks safe havens" by AP says a blockbuster Us jobs report sent investors fleeing traditional places of comfort Fri: high dividend stocks, bonds & gold.
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 16.78 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.85 (last year it was 15.08). Monday's P/E estimate is 16.64 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.83 (year ago it was 14.09) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.44 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.46 (last year it was 2.49). 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 2775.53 down 9.43 from Thursday's numerator of 2784.96. 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 $92.52 down 31 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $92.83. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.42 (WMT/XOM) down 40 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $89.82 (WMT/XOM. The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Verizon.
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 lost $943 ($278,496 - $277,533).
2/6/15 Fri. 4:46 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Victor Reklaitis says U.S. stocks finished lower Friday as investors shrugged off a strong jobs report, which had provided a lift earlier in the day, and turned to fresh concerns about Greece. The worries were sparked midday Friday after Standard & Poor’s downgraded the country’s long-term sovereign-debt rating to B-minus from B. In addition, a euro zone official said Greece faces a Feb. 16 deadline to apply for an extension of its bailout program. The main indexes still booked solid weekly gains, however. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.34% fell 7.05 points, or 0.3%, to close at 2,055.47 on Friday, according to preliminary FactSet data. That left the benchmark up 3% for the week, representing its largest weekly gain since mid-December, though it’s down 0.2% for the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.34% dropped 60.59 points, or 0.3%, to close at 17,824.29 on Friday. That put the blue-chip barometer up 3.8% for the week — its biggest weekly percentage gain since January 2013 — and essentially flat for the year.The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.43% slid 20.70 points, or 0.4%, to end at 4,744.40. The tech-heavy index added 2.4% for the week, and it’s up 0.2% in 2015 to date.JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade, said that Friday’s reversal in prices fit with a trend of taking risk off the table on Friday afternoons.“We’ve had good rallies this week, and investors simply do not want to hold long positions going into the weekend. And news of Greece became a good trigger point to start selling,” he added. Brian Fenske, head of sales trading at ITG, a New York-based brokerage firm, said the downgrade of Greece caught traders off-guard.“People have been ignoring negative news about Greece this week, and today’s downgrade is a delayed reaction that further problems with Green can destabilize the euro,” Fenske said.“There is also concern that the market is toppy. A lot of fundamental investors are afraid to buy stocks when earnings estimates have come down,” Fenske added.The main focus earlier was on the key monthly jobs report, which came in far stronger than expected. The Labor Department report showed that the economy added 257,000 jobs in January, while November and December numbers were revised sharply higher. In another good sign, hourly wages jumped 0.5%. Although the unemployment rate ticked up to 5.7% from 5.6%, it suggests that more people are entering the workforce. The U.S. economy has added more than 200,000 jobs for 12 straight months.
