NEW
YORK, Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Dow
Jones Indices will make the following changes to the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA) and Dow Jones Utility Average (DJUA)
effective prior to the open of trading on Friday, November 8:
- NVIDIA Corp. (NASD:NVDA) will replace Intel Corp. (NASD:INTC),
and The Sherwin-Williams Co. (NYSE:SHW) will replace Dow Inc.
(NYSE:DOW) in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The index changes
were initiated to ensure a more representative exposure to the
semiconductors industry and the materials sector respectively. The
DJIA is a price weighted index, and thus persistently lower priced
stocks have a minimal impact on the index. Dow Inc. is also the
smallest company in the DJIA as measured by company market
capitalization.
- Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST) will replace The AES Corp. (NYSE:AES)
in the Dow Jones Utility Average. The index change was initiated to
ensure a more representative exposure to the Independent Power
Producers and Renewable Electricity Producers industry within the
Utilities sector. The DJUA is a price weighted index, and thus
low-priced stocks have minimal impact on the index.
The divisors used to calculate the indices from the components'
prices on their respective home exchanges will be changed prior to
the opening on November 8, 2024. This
procedure prevents any distortion in the indices' reflection of the
portion of the U.S. stock market it is designed to measure. The new
divisors can be found in the end-of-day index level files (*.SDL)
via the S&P Dow Jones Indices FTP (EDX) site beginning on
Thursday, November 7, 2024.
