Post No. 3,138 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 Tuesday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & Constitution & 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 Monday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 17977.04 down 80.61 or 0.45% from Friday's close of 18057.65. For the year the Dow is up 0.86%. Of the Dow components 5 gained and 256 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise were JPMorgan and UnitedHealth both up 37 cents and the biggest gainer percentage-wise was JPMorgan up 0.6 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson down $1.51 and percentage-wise was GE down 3.09%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks sink ahead of earnings reports" by Corrie Driebusch says US stocks edged lower in light trading after 2 straight weeks of gains. There was no single reason for stocks moving lower. On Tues JPMorgan and Wells will report earnings.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.42 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.33 (last year it was 15.94). Today's P/E estimate is 16.28 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 16.28 (year ago it was 14.53) and today's dividend yield is 2.26 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.25 (last year it was 2.20). The Dow's all-time high was 18288.63 on March 2, 2015. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2694.02 down 12.08 from Friday's average numerator of 2706.10. 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 (0.14985889030177) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.67 change in the Dow Index.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.80 down 30 cents from Friday's closing average of $90.20. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $84.38 (PG/XOM) down 7 cents from Friday's median closing price of $84.45 (PG/XOM). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
If Monday 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 $1,208 ($270,610 - $269,402).
4/13/15 Mon. 4:58 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova and Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks ended Monday’s thinly-traded session lower as concerns about potentially weak quarterly results, as well as looming interest-rate hikes, eroded confidence among investors. Investors appeared nervous, with the CBOE Volatility Index, otherwise known as Vix VIX, +10.81% jumping 11% to settle nearly 14, while the main benchmarks turned opening gains into losses.The S&P 500 SPX, -0.46% closed 9.62 points, or 0.5%, lower at 2,092.44, with nine of its 10 main sectors finishing with losses. Industrials and utilities stocks sold off, while financials ended slightly higher as investors braced for earnings from J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.45% lost 80.61 points, or 0.5%, to 17,977.04, with 25 of its 30 components closing lower.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.15% ended the session down 7.7 points, or 0.2%, to 4,988.25, unable to stay above the 5,000 level.Meanwhile, a measure of smaller companies, known as the Russell 2000 RUT, +0.06% ended the session flat at 1,265.59, retreating from an intraday record set in early trade. The index of small-capitalization companies outperformed the S&P 500 year-to-date, rising 5.2%, compared with 2.3% gain for the large-caps.Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital, sounded a cautious note about the market going into the earnings season.
“Markets are at high levels and earnings are not going to be great and that can induce a pullback. We would not be surprised to see a pullback up to 8%-10%,” Cardillo warned. Although falling commodity prices and a strengthening dollar are going to be headwinds for many multinational companies, some are predicting better outcomes. “So, despite expectations of a drop in earnings, stocks will do fine and grind higher,” said Eric Mintz, portfolio manager at Eagle Asset Management.
