The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was created in 1896 by Charles Dow and originally consisted of 12 companies: American Cotton Oil, American Sugar, American Tobacco, Chicago Gas, Distilling & Cattle Feeding, General Electric, Laclede Gas, National Lead, North American, Tennessee Coal and Iron, U.S. Leather, and U.S. Rubber.\n

\n
\n

At the time, these companies were among the titans of American industry. Of the original 12 companies, General Electric has remained in business and was a component of the DJIA the longest. When it was removed from the DJIA in 2018, it had been a Dow component continuously for over 120 years. It was also the only company that retained its place on the DJIA under its original name since the index's inception.\u00a0Others were broken up, taken over, dissolved, or relegated to subsidiary status over the years.\n

\n
\n

Key Takeaways

\n

In order to know the original Dow Jones Industrial Average Companies, follow these steps:

  • Choose the 12 companies that best indicate the direction of the American stock markets.
  • Add up their closing stock prices every day, and divide by 12.
  • That was the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 1896. (Now it's 30 companies.)
\n

Understanding the DJIA

\n

Charles Dow was an American journalist who founded a financial news bureau, originally called Dow, Jones & Co., with a colleague, Edward Davis Jones.\n

\n
\n

Like any observer, Dow saw that many or most stocks tended to move like a wave in the same direction from day to day as investors reacted to events and expectations. He sought to put a number on that daily movement.\n

\n
\n

Dow chose 12 of the biggest and most influential corporations of the day. Each was a giant in its sector, and most reflected demand for the raw materials that fed the American economy, like coal, sugar, and oil.\n

\n
\n

At the close of every trading day, he added up all of their stock prices and divided by 12. That was the Dow Jones Industrial Average.\n

\n
\n

Introduced in The Wall Street Journal on May 26, 1896, the DJIA was the first index of stock market activity.\n

\n
\n

Changes to the Dow

\n

As the country's industrial age came to a close, electricity became the dominant energy source and led to numerous technological advancements that were embraced by consumers. The economy shifted toward providing more consumer goods and technology-based services and products.\n

\n
\n

Dow Component Changes on Aug. 24, 2020

\n

On Aug. 24, 2020, Salesforce, Amgen and Honeywell were added to the Dow, replacing Exxon-Mobil, Pfizer, and Raytheon Technologies.

\n

Most of the original companies in the DJIA were removed from the list long before they went out of business. Then and now, the list of Dow components is revised periodically to remove companies that can no longer be seen as bellwethers and to substitute companies that have climbed to prominence.\n

How Many Original Dow Jones Companies Were There?

\n

\n

No, it's not; GE was removed from the DJIA in 2018. From time to time, the composition of the index changes. Like General Electric, some of the most iconic companies in U.S. history have been removed from the Dow Jones, such as AT&T, Sears, and General Motors.

\n
\n
\n

What Is the Youngest Company in the Dow Jones?

\n

Founded in December 1984, Cisco Systems is the youngest company in the DJIA. Cisco's rise is considered one of the most rapid in history.

\n
\n
\n

The Botom Line

\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was created in 1896 by Charles Dow and originally consisted of 12 companies, each considered a giant in its sector. The DJIA was first introduced in The Wall Street Journal as the first index of stock market activity. From time to time, the composition of the index changes, and as of 2023, the DJIA consists of 30 American blue-chip companies. After General Electric's removal in 2018, none of the original components of the DJIA remained listed on the index.\n

What Is the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)?

\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is a stock market index that tracks 30 large, publicly-owned blue-chip companies trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq. The Dow Jones is named after Charles Dow, who created the index in 1896 along with his business partner, Edward Jones. Also referred to as the Dow 30, the index is considered to be a gauge of the broader U.S. economy.\n

\n
\n

Key Takeaways

\n
  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a widely-watched benchmark index in the U.S. for blue-chip stocks.
  • The DJIA is a price-weighted index that tracks 30 large, publicly-owned companies trading on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq.
  • The index was created by Charles Dow in 1896 to serve as a proxy for the broader U.S. economy.
  • The DJIA's composition can change over time based on economic trends.

Understanding the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)

\n

The DJIA is the second-oldest U.S. market index after the Dow Jones Transportation Average. The DJIA was designed to serve as a proxy for the health of the broader U.S. economy. Often referred to simply as the Dow, it is one of the most-watched stock market indexes in the world. While the Dow includes a range of companies, all of them can be described as blue-chip companies with consistently stable earnings.\n

\n
\n

In the early 20th century, the performance of industrial companies was typically tied to the overall growth rate in the economy. That cemented the relationship between the Dow's performance and the overall economy. Even today, for many investors, a strong-performing Dow equals a strong economy while a weak-performing Dow indicates a slowing economy.\n

\n
\n

As the economy changes over time, so does the composition of the index. A component of the Dow may be dropped when a company becomes less relevant to current trends of the economy, to be replaced by a new name that better reflects the shift. For instance, a company may be removed from the index when its market capitalization drops because of financial distress.\n

\n
\n

Stocks with higher share prices are given greater weight in the index. So a higher percentage move in a higher-priced component will have a greater impact on the final calculated value. At the Dow's inception, Charles Dow calculated the average by adding the prices of the 12 Dow component stocks and dividing by 12. The result was a simple average. Over time, there were additions and subtractions to the index that had to be accounted for, such as mergers and stock splits. At that point, a simple mean calculation no longer made sense.\n

\n
\n

The Dow Divisor and Index Calculation

\n

The Dow Divisor was created to address the simple average issue. The divisor is a predetermined constant that is used to determine the effect of a one-point move in any of the approximately 30 stocks that comprise the Dow. There have been instances when the divisor needed to be changed so that the value of the Dow stayed consistent. As of Sept. 2023, the Dow Divisor was 0.15172752595384.\n

\n
\n

The Dow is not calculated using a weighted arithmetic average and does not represent its component companies' market cap unlike the S&P 500. Rather, it reflects the sum of the price of one share of stock for all the components, divided by the divisor. Thus, a one-point move in any of the component stocks will move the index by an identical number of points.\n

\n
\n
DJIA Price = SUM (Component Stock Prices) \u00f7 Dow Divisor\n
\n
\n

\n

The S&P 500 has outperformed the DJIA on an annualized basis over the last three-, five-, and 10-year periods.

\n

Dow Index Components

\n

The DJIA launched in 1896 with just 12 companies, primarily in the industrial sector. They included railroads, cotton, gas, sugar, tobacco, and oil. The index grew to 30 components by 1928. Since then, it's changed many times\u2014the very first came three months after the 30-component index launched. The first large-scale change was in 1932 when eight stocks in the Dow were replaced.\n

\n
\n

The Dow is reevaluated on a regular basis. Companies are replaced when they no longer meet the index's listing criteria with those that do. Over time, the index became a bellwether of the U.S. economy, reflecting economic changes. For example, U.S. Steel was removed from the index in 1991 and replaced by building material company Martin Marietta.\n

\n
\n

Other major changes to the DJIA came:\n

\n
\n
  • In 1997, when Westinghouse Electric, Bethlehem Steel, Texaco, and Woolworths were replaced by Travelers' Group, Johnson & Johnson, Hewlett-Packard, and Walmart.
  • In 1999, when Chevron, Sears Roebuck, Union Carbide, and Goodyear Tire were dropped while Home Depot, Intel, Microsoft, and SBC Communications were added in their place.
    • \n
\n
\n

Walgreens Boots Alliance replaced General Electric in June 2018. In August 2020, Salesforce, Amgen, and Honeywell were added to the Dow, replacing ExxonMobil, Pfizer, and Raytheon Technologies. Raytheon joined the DJIA earlier that year after United Technologies merged with Raytheon Company.
\n

DowDuPont spun off DuPont and was replaced by Dow Chemical Company in 2019.

Historical Milestones

\n

The following are some important historical milestones achieved by the Dow:\u00a0\n

\n
\n
    \n
  • March 15, 1933: The largest one-day percentage gain in the index happened during the 1930s bear market, totaling 15.34%. The Dow gained 8.26 points and closed at 62.10.
    • \n
  • Oct. 19, 1987: The largest one-day percentage drop took place on Black Monday. The index fell 22.61%. There was no evident explanation for the crash, although program trading may have been a contributing factor.

\n

Individuals can invest in the Dow, which would mean gaining exposure to all of the companies listed in it, through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), such as the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA).

\n

Limitations of the DJIA

\n

Many critics of the Dow argue that it does not significantly represent the state of the U.S. economy as it consists of only 30 large-cap U.S. companies. They believe the number of companies is too small and it neglects companies of different sizes. Many critics believe the S&P 500 is a better representation of the economy as it includes significantly more companies, 500 versus 30.\n

\n
\n

Furthermore, critics believe that factoring only the price of a stock in the calculation does not accurately reflect a company, as much as considering a company's market cap would. In this manner, a company with a higher stock price but a smaller market cap would have more weight than a company with a smaller stock price but a larger market cap, which would poorly reflect the true size of a company.\n

\n
\n

The Dow is also a price-weighted index, as opposed to being weighted by market capitalization. This means that stocks in the index with higher share prices have greater influence, regardless if they are smaller companies overall in terms of market value. In a price-weighted index, a stock that increases from $110 to $120 will have the same net effect on the index as a stock that increases from $10 to $20, even though the percentage move for the latter is far greater than that of the higher-priced stock. This also means that stock splits can have an impact on the index, whereas they would not for a market cap-weighted index.\n

\n
\n

What Does the Dow Jones Industrial Average Measure?

\n

The DJIA tracks the price movements of 30 large companies in the United States. Such companies include Microsoft and Home Depot. The selected companies are from all major U.S. sectors, except utilities and transportation.

\n
\n
\n

When Did the DJIA Top 10,000 for the First Time?

\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 10,000 for the first time in March 1999. The DJIA then hit 11,750 in January 2000, before falling to below 7,200 in Oct. 2002 after the dot-com crash.

\n
\n
\n

The DJIA Is Based on the Prices of How Many Stocks?

\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is made up of 30 large stocks. All the stocks are based in the United States. The DJIA is also known as the Dow 30.

\n
\n
\n

How Does the Dow Differ from the S&P 500?

\n

The S&P 500 and DJIA are the two most-watched stock indexes in the U.S.; however, these two benchmarks are very different:

  • The Dow Jones Industrial Index tracks 30 large-cap stocks while the S&P 500 tracks the largest 500 stocks in the U.S. market.
  • The Dow Jones index is price-weighted while the S&P 500 is market-cap weighted.
  • The stocks in the Dow are chosen by a committee. The stocks in the S&P 500 are added according to a formula.
  • The Dow Jones uses a divisor; the S&P 500 is expressed versus a base year.
\n
\n
\n

The Bottom Line

\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a stock index of 30 U.S. blue-chip large-cap companies, which has become synonymous with the American stock market as a whole. The index, however, only has 30 companies, and the index itself is price-weighted, meaning that it does not always present an accurate reflection of the broader stock market.\n

\n
\n

Companies in the DJIA are also chosen by a committee and are balanced to try to represent the state of the overall economy. This means that certain companies may be added to or deleted from the index periodically without much in the way of being able to predict when or which stock will be changed. Despite its limitations, however, the Dow still holds a special place in American finance.\n
