8/19/1 Wed. am Home Depot's EPS Up: Wlamart's Down

  http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/
by Dan Kolber

Post No. 3,301 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  Wednesday's  Wall Street Journal,   Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today &  Atlanta Journal & Constitution  & Daily Report (Ga. - carries Ga.) 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 Tuesday's  closing   stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at  17511.34 down 33.84 or 0.19% from Monday's close of 17545.18.  For the year the Dow is down 1.70%. Of the 30   Dow components  13  gained  and 17 declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot up $3.10 or 2.59%.  The  biggest decliner dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was Walmart down $2.43 or 2.59%.

WSJ pC4 "Dow turns lower, as Walmart and Exxon Mobil drop" by Leslie Josephs, Saumya Vaishampayan says US stocks fell as a slump in consumer & energy stocks snapped the Dow's 3 session winning streak. Walmart led the Dow lower to its lowest closing price since Feb. '13.  Home Depot lifted its outlook for the year as it reported better thane expected sales growth while Walmart cuts its earnings guidance.  Exxon  fell 1.1% and Disney fell 1.9%.

IBD pB5 "Chips weigh on Nasdaq; distribution for S&P 500" by Ken Shreve says the S&P suffered another mild distribution day & semiconductor stocks weighed on Nasdaq as Tuesday's action was down in mixed trade & the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.

As of the open of  the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of  Wednesday's  Wall St. Journal is 0.14967727343149.  Wednesday's trailing P/E   ratio is 16.76 down  from yesterday's   trailing P/E ratio of  16.79 (last year it was 15.96).  Today's P/E estimate is 15.73 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 15.73 (year ago it was 14.77) and  today's dividend yield is  2.42 down  from yesterday's dividend yield of  2.43 (last year it was 2.20). 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.

Tuesday's closing Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2621.05 down 5.06 from Monday's closing average numerator of 2626.11.   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  Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $87.37 down 17 cents  from Monday's closing average of $87.54.  The median closing price of  Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.53 (CAT/AXP) down 36 cents  from  Monday's median closing price of $79.89 (XOM/AXP).  The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Apple.

If  Tuesday   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  $506  ($262,611 - $262,105).

8/18/15 Tues. 4:43 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks closed lower after a choppy session Tuesday as investors digested a mixed bag of quarterly results and an upbeat report on home construction in July.The S&P 500  declined 5.52 points, or 0.3%, to close at 2,096.92. Nine of the broad index’s 10 main sectors posted modest losses, with the only the consumer discretionary sector managing to gain ground.The Dow Jones Industrial Average  fell 33.84 points, or 0.2%, to close at 17,498.28, dragged lower by Wal-Mart Stores Inc., while Home Depot Inc. led Dow gainers. The finish snapped a three-day streak of gains for the blue-chip index.Shares of Wal-Mart dropped 3.4% after the retailer lowered its full-year earnings outlook and posted profit below analyst forecast. Home Depot shares rose 2.6% after the home-improvement store lifted its outlook again following better-than-expected sales growth.  Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite Index  dropped 32.35 points, or 0.7%, to finish at 5,059.35.On Tuesday, a report showing construction of new U.S. homes rose in July at the fastest pace since before the Great Recession came a day after a stronger-than-expected report on home-builder confidence, suggesting the housing market continues to gain strength. Those housing reports gave housing stocks a boost but don’t seem to be inspiring much confidence in the broader market. Home-builder stocks like Lennar Corp. and Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. rallied, ahead of Wednesday’s minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee’s July policy meeting. “It is difficult to see how this market will break out of this range when a fifth of the S&P 500 stocks are down 20% or more and the indexes are led higher by fewer and fewer stocks,” said Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at RW Baird & Co.“We believe that the Federal Reserve’s September meeting might prove to be a catalyst to jolt the markets higher if it does raise interest rates, as it would signal confidence in the economy,” Bittles said.Bittles said lackluster earnings combined with stretched valuations are also keeping investors from buying into the market.
Tuesday’s data: Housing starts edged up 0.2% to an annual rate of 1.21 million last month, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That is the highest rate since October 2007, two months before the last recession began.Permits for new construction, a sign of future demand, fell 16.3% to an annual rate of 1.12 million. Still, permits are 7.5% higher compared with one year ago.Earnings:
TJX Cos. stock jumped 7%, advancing the most among the S&P 500 stocks, after quarterly results beat estimates. Movers & shakers: Shares of National Penn Bancshares Inc. surged 17% after BB&T Corp. said it would buy the bank in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at about $1.8 billion. Coach Inc. shares rose 2% after Jefferies lifted the luxury handbag company to buy from hold, “based on visible green shoots in the business.” Other markets: China’s Shanghai Composite Index  slumped 6.6%, its biggest loss in three weeks, as investors shrugged off signs of recovery in the country’s housing market and the central bank‘s latest move to offset capital outflows. The People’s Bank of China injected the largest amount of cash into the financial system on a single-day basis in almost 19 months.European stock markets struggled for direction, with commodity-related stocks weighed by persistent pressure on prices for metals and energy.Crude oil  bucked recent weakness to settle higher, while copper  dropped to its lowest level in more than six years. The dollar  traded mixed against other major currencies, but declined against the pound  after stronger-than-expected U.K. inflation data. —Sara Sjolin in London contributed to this report.
