Post No. 3,196 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.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 17849.46 down 56.12 or 0.31% from Thursday's close of 17905.58.. For the week the Dow is down 161.22 or 0.89% from last Friday's close of 18010.68 . Of the 30 Dow components 8 gained, Disney was unchanged and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $1.58 and percentage-wise was JPMorgan up 1.64%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was 3M down $1.27 and percentage-wise was Verizon down 1.81%.
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 0.14985889030177. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.27 down from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.48 (last year it was 16.47). Friday's P/E estimate is 16.12 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 16.12 (year ago it was 14.91) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.30 unchanged from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.32 (last year it was 2.17). The Dow's all-time high was 18312.39 on May 19, 2015. 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 2674.90 down 8.41 from Thursday's average numerator of 2683.31. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.16 down 28 cents from Thursday's closing average of $89.44. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.16 (XOM/CAT) up 28 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $84.88 (XOM/CAT). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Apple.
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 $841 ($268,331 - $267,490).
6/5/15 Fri. 4:48 pm MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis & Barbara Kollmeyer says The U.S. stock market finished mostly lower Friday as an upbeat jobs report raised expectations for an interest-rate hike this fall.But the main indexes ended off their session lows as the economic strength signaled by the jobs report somewhat offset concerns about a rate hike, which would lure some investors out of stocks and increase companies’ borrowing costs.The S&P 500 SPX, -0.14% slipped by 3.01 points, or 0.1%, to finish at 2,092.83 after being down as much as 0.5% in morning action, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.31% fell by 56.12 points, or 0.3%, to 17,849.46. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.18% showed a slight spark, rising 9.33 points, or 0.2%, to end at 5,068.46.For the week, the S&P 500 and Dow lost 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively, while the Nasdaq dipped less than 0.1%. The S&P stands at its lowest level since May 7 after falling for two weeks in a row. The benchmark index has trimmed its year-to-date gain to 1.7%.The Labor Department said the U.S. economy generated 280,000 new jobs in May, beating the gain of 210,000 that was expected by economists polled by MarketWatch. The unemployment rate edged up to 5.5%, but mainly because more Americans entered the labor force in search of work.Although a positive for the broader economy, the strong jobs report has traders fearing that the days of ultraloose monetary policy are coming to an end as a rate hike appears imminent.“This would indicate that the Fed is more likely to raise rates sooner rather than later,” said State Street Global Advisors’ chief investment strategist, Michael Arone, who described the overall report as “solid.” He said the stock market “continues to be in love with lower for longer” when it comes to interest rates, but that’s somewhat “confounding,” as Friday’s upbeat jobs report “should in aggregate be a good thing” for both the U.S. economy and the stock market.Investors also digested New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley’s comment that a rate hike is still likely this year.Greek stress: European stocks SXXP, -0.93% closed lower after Greece opted to bundle its June loan payments to the International Monetary Fund and make them at the end of the month, and the country and its creditors continued to struggle over a deal to unlock bailout funds.The yield on Greece’s 10-year bond jumped, while the yield on the German bund also climbed.“The markets do appear to think a deal will be reached, but until it is, we will see choppy trading off the back of ongoing updates,” said Nour Al-Hammoury, chief market strategist at ADS Securities in Abu Dhabi, in a note. OPEC stands firm: Crude-oil futures CLN5, +1.52% settled higher, as a drop in the number of U.S. rigs offset a move by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to keep its output unchanged.In Asia, the Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, +1.54% closed up 1.5% and topped 5,000, reaching its highest level since January 2008 in a week of sharp volatility for Chinese stocks.Treasury yields and the dollar DXY, +0.80% both jumped.Individual movers and shakers: J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, +1.64% finished up 1.6% for the biggest gain among Dow components, as financial stocks XLF, +0.57% advanced on expectations that they’ll benefit from higher interest rates. Verizon Communications Inc. VZ, -1.81% closed down 1.8% for the biggest drop in the Dow. The prospect of higher interest rates weighed on so-called bond proxies—meaning dividend-paying telecom and utilities XLU, -1.25% stocks.
