Caterpillar, whose quarterly profit jumped 91% boosted its outlook and predicted continued demand for growth linked commodities like oil and copper. American Express and Microsoft slipped slightly after trading hours after easily beating estimates. Both were up during the trading day.

WSJ pC5 "AT&T, 3M & UPS Advance" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks climbed braodly following strong earnings from Caterpillar, 3M and UPS, while better than existing data on US existing home sales and eurozone activity also provided a boost. Under Good news is charted AT&T saying earnings rose 26% in 2Q, benefiting from iPHone activations, and it painted a rosier picture for the year. Travelers was charted under Bad News saying it was the only Dow component to fall as it said record stromr elated claims costs pushed profit down 9.5% and it cut the high end of its '10 forecast.

Fin Times pB20 "Upbeat earnings and profit forecasts help lift sentiment" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks were boosted thurs by positive earnings news & firms raising their profit forecasts, outweighing worse than expected jobless claims.

NYT pB1 "Wall St's spirits soar on robust earnings" by Christine Hauser says firms from AT&T to UPS say business is finally picking up and investors are cheering Robust quarterly results from the nation;s bellwether firms galvanized Wal lSt. on Thurs as stocks soared in a broad rally.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493 (it changed last Thursday), the trailing P/E ratio is 14.44 up from Thursday's 14.32 (year ago it was 13.85) the P/E estimate is 12.49 unchanged from Thursday's 12.49 (year ago it was 14.345) and the current dividend yield is 2.70 up from Thursday's 2.75 (it was 3.16 a year ago). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,363.88 up 26.66 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1337.22. 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 increase of 201.77 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Thursday's Dow of 201.77. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.46 up 0.89 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $44.57. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.27 up $1.49 from Wednesday's median price of 39.78. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $69.53 +2.50 3.73% 5,200,479 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.66 +0.30 2.25% 185,705,804 NYSE.

If Thursday 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) and sold at the close you would have made $2,658 ($136,380 - $133,722).

MarketWatch 7/22/10 Thur. 4:30 pm by Donna Kardos says U.S. stocks climbed broadly Thursday following strong earnings from Caterpillar, 3M and United Parcel Service, while better-than-expected data on U.S. existing-home sales and euro-zone economic activity also provided a boost. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 201.77 points, or 1.99%, to 10322.30, marking its biggest one-day gain since July 7 and its highest close since July 15. Boeing led the measure's gains with a jump of 3.42, or 5.4%, to 66.60, after European rival aircraft manufacturer Airbus raised its order intake target for 2010. Among the Dow's earnings reporters, 3M jumped 2.45, or 3%, to 84.75, after the manufacturing giant posted a 43% jump in second-quarter earnings while its sales rebounded to levels last seen two years ago. AT&T added 59 cents, or 2.4%, to 25.51, after the telecommunications company reported a 26% increase in second-quarter earnings, benefiting from iPhone activations. Caterpillar climbed 1.13, or 1.7%, to 68. The industrial giant posted a 91% surge in quarterly profit and boosted its full-year earnings outlook. However, Travelers fell 58 cents, or 1.2%, to 49.29. Record claims costs from storms in the Midwest caused the insurer's second-quarter profit to fall 9.5%. The company also pared back the high end of its estimate for full-year earnings. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 58.56, or 2.68%, to 2245.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 24.08, or 2.25%, to 1093.67. All of the S&P 500's sectors climbed, led by industrials, boosted by strong reports from UPS and Union Pacific in addition to the reports from 3M and Caterpillar. UPS jumped 3.14, or 5.2%, to 63.15, after the shipping giant posted a 90% surge in second-quarter profit on higher package volume, revenue growth and substantial margin improvement, and boosted its 2010 earnings guidance. Shares of rival FedEx climbed 4.50, or 6.1%, to 78.53. Meanwhile, Union Pacific climbed 3.28, or 4.8%, to 72.40, as the railroad company's second-quarter earnings also topped analysts' expectations.
The gains followed encouraging economic data from the euro zone--its composite purchasing managers index and industrial orders both unexpectedly rose--as well as a smaller-than-expected drop in U.S. existing-home sales.In addition, investors found Thursday's round of data particularly encouraging because a number of bellwether companies posted revenue that topped analysts' estimates and climbed from the prior year, reversing a trend seen in recent days of companies missing revenue expectations even as their earnings beat estimates.
