Post No. 3,126 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 & aily 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 17880.85 up 117.61 or 0.66% from Thursday's close of 17763.24. For the year the Dow is up 0.32%. Of the Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was 3M up $2.68 and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 3.11%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson up 48 cents or 0.48%.
WSJ pC1 "Dow rise makes it positive for year" by Dan Strumpf says the Dow reacted to a report showing the weakest pace of hiring in 15 months but prices were down and bargain hunters drove prices up.
NYT pB3 "Weak jobs data reassures that Fed will be cautious" & AJC pA10 "Stocks close higher" by AP says US stocks closed higher Mon due to gains in energy shares as the price of oil surged. Many overseas markets were closed for holidays.
IBD pB3 "Stocks stage big rebound; distribution count drops" by Vincent Mao says stocks snapped back from early weakness to close with strong gains Monday as the market saw bad news as good news and energy stocks were boosted by a 6% jump in oil prices. The poor jobs data raised hopes the Fed may hold off raising interest rates. Monday's action saw upside reversal in higher vol while the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
FT p20 "US investors brush off weak jobs numbers" by Pan Kwan Yuk says US stocks confounded expectations to push stocks higher despite a weak jobs report.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.33 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.22 (last year it was 15.98). Today's P/E estimate is 16.08 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 16.08 (year ago it was 14.74) and today's dividend yield is 2.27 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.31 (last year it was 2.19). 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 2679.60 up 18.38 from Thursday's average numerator of 2661.98. 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 $89.32 up 59 cents from Thursday's closing average of $88.73. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $84.08 (PG/XOM) up 62 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $83.46 (PG/XOM). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 made $1,838 ($267,960 - $266,198).
4/2//15 Mon. 4:49 pm MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis & Barbara Kollmeyer says U.S. stocks erased early losses to finish with solid gains Monday, as the Dow industrials rose nearly 120 points.
The stock market’s switch to rally mode was attributed to bets that the Federal Reserve will move more slowly in raising interest rates given Friday’s disappointing jobs report.The S&P 500 SPX, +0.66% rose 13.66 points, or 0.7%, to end at 2,080.62, with energy stocks XLE, -0.04% performing best as crude-oil prices jumped. The benchmark is up 1.1% for the year and stands 1.7% off its March 2 record close.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.66% gained 117.61 points, or 0.7%, to close at 17,880.85 after dropping more than 100 points out of the gate. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.62% added 30.38 points, or 0.6%, to finish at 4,917.32. "We believe that financial markets, perhaps after some volatility, will eventually celebrate the combination of economic growth hot enough to avoid recession, but not hot enough to force the Fed to tighten policy in the near future.”
Tuesday's Dow News followed by Monday's Closing Dow Numbers:
American Express: WSJ pC8 "American Express faces struggle to keep up" by John Carney says AmEx's loss of Costco will hurt vol on its network and the move by Visa and Citigroup to take over the Costco business shows how competitive things are getting.
Apple: FT p14 "Clock ticks for Apple watch app creators" by Tim Bradshaw says thousands of apps are being tested under high security for the Apple smartwatch.
IBD pA2 "Apple to control watch sales" & pA5 "Plan to buy an Apple Watch? You must make appointment" by Patrick Seitz say you will need to make an appointment to buy an Apple smartwatch.
IBD pA13 "Boycott Tehran, not Indiana, over the treatment of gays" is a stupid editorial that says Apple's CEO is a hypocrite for not boycotting mean companies while criticizing Indiana. To me, that is like saying you should never help anyone if you don't help everyone. Can IBD see a distinction between reacting to something happening in your own country versus what is happening elsewhere?
Boeing: NYT pB1 "Air skirmish in war over Ex-Im bank" by Jonathan Weisman, Eric Lipton says Delta's case was thrown out by a federal judge.
