What the Dow Jones Industrial Average is
The Dow is a 30-stock index of large US companies run by S&P Dow Jones Indices, with members picked by a committee (Wikipedia on the DJIA). It dates to 1896, which makes it the oldest of the big three US indexes.
It's price-weighted. A stock's weight depends on its share price, so a $850 stock moves the Dow far more than a $40 stock, whatever the company is worth (Wikipedia on the DJIA).
The math is simple. The index equals the sum of the 30 share prices divided by the Dow Divisor, which has been 0.16824817 since 29 June 2026 (Dow Divisor). That means a $1 move in any member shifts the Dow by about 5.94 points.
The name is a leftover. Only a few members still make industrial products, and the list now includes Microsoft, Visa, Amazon and Alphabet.
Top 10 Dow Jones companies by index weight
Ten stocks make up 53.95% of the Dow. Three are banks, insurers or payment networks, and only two of them (Microsoft and Apple) are in the S&P 500's top 10 (DIA holdings).
