Post No. 3,271 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 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 17690.46 down 55.52 or 0.31% from Thursday's close of 17745.98. For the week the Dow was up 121.93 or 0.69% from last Friday's close of 17568.53. For the year the Dow is down 0.75%. Of the 30 Dow components 15 gained and 15 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing up $1.16 and percentage-wise was Coke up 1.28%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron down $4.55 or 4.89%.
IBD pB8 "Stocks indexes end flat to down, but small caps, IBD 50 climb" by Paul Whitfield says Friday's action saw small losses in mixed vol while the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
FT p12 "Wall street" by Mamta Badkar says Exxon shares fell 4% and Chevron shares after both reported drop in 2Q profits.
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 0.14967727343149. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.86 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.67 (last year it was 15.72). Monday's P/E estimate is 15.96 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.91 (year ago it was 14.62) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.38 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.39 (last year it was 2.22). 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 closing Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2647.86 down 8.31 from Thursday's closing average numerator of 2656.17. 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 (0.14967727343149) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $5.08 change in the Dow Index.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $88.26 down 28 cents from Thursday's closing average of $88.54. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $78.92 (CAT/XOM) down $1.76 from Thursday's median closing price of $80.68 (CAT/XOM). 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 $831 ($265,536 - $264,786).
7/31/15 Fri. 4:06 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks ended lower Friday, as weakness in the energy sector outweighed modest gains elsewhere. Earlier, a closely watched measure of employment costs decelerated in the second quarter, sparking hopes that the Federal Reserve may delay rate hikes this year. Analysts pointed out that weak wage growth is a symptom of slowing growth, which does not bode well for corporate earnings. The main indexes recorded modest weekly and monthly gains. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.23% closed 4.71 points, or 0.2%, lower at 2,103.90. The index ended July roughly at the same level it finished in May, erasing all of the previous month's losses. The weekly gain for the benchmark stood at 1.2%, while it booked a 2% gain over the month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.32% slipped 55.32 points, or 0.3%, to 17,690.66, but ended the week with a gains of 0.7% and booked a 0.4% gain over the month. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.01% ended the session less than a point lower at 5,218.28. The tech-heavy index rose 0.8% over the week and 2.9% over the month.
