Dow Jones

Hallo Experten,

gibt es eigentlich im DowJones ein Mitgliedsunternehmen, welches seit Gründung des DowJones in diesem durchgehend enthalten ist?

Danke & Gruß

Marco

Hallo Strubbel,
irgendwie konnte ich da nix brauchbares finden. Oder war ich nur zu blind? Weißt du aber, ob GE durchgehend dabei war?

Gruß
Marco

GE ist definitiv das einzige Unternehmen, welches von Anfang an dabei ist!

hi marco,

trotz richtigem link wird das falsche aufgerufen.
ich versuch es mal so:

What happened to the original 12 companies in the DJIA?
Company What Became of It
American Cotton Oil Distant ancestor of Bestfoods
American Sugar Evolved into Amstar Holdings
American Tobacco Broken up in 1911 antitrust action
Chicago Gas Absorbed by Peoples Gas, 1897
Distilling & Cattle Feeding Whiskey trust evolved into Millennium Chemical
General Electric Going strong and still in the DJIA
Laclede Gas Active, removed from DJIA in 1899
National Lead Today’s NL Industries removed from DJIA in 1916
North American Utility combine broken up in 1940s
Tennessee Coal & Iron Absorbed by U.S. Steel in 1907
U.S. Leather (preferred) Dissolved in 1952
U.S. Rubber Became Uniroyal, now part of Michelin

When Charles Dow created the Dow Jones Industrial Average, first published on May 26, 1896, it consisted of a dozen stocks.

Only one of the original 12, General Electric, is in the average today. And even GE dropped out for a while – deleted in 1898 but back nine years later as a replacement for Tennessee Coal & Iron.

U.S. Steel, run by tycoon J.P. Morgan, swallowed Tennessee Coal in a unique power play, according to historian Robert Sobel. In the panic of 1907, Mr. Morgan agreed to rescue the economy; President Theodore Roosevelt agreed not to object to the acquisition.

Several companies in the 1896 average are ancestors of firms active today (see table). American Tobacco was broken up in 1911 but was the progenitor of such companies as Fortune Brands and R.J. ReynoldsTobacco. Distilling & Cattle Feeding Co. became Distilling Co. of America, and later Millennium Chemical.

One original listing, U.S. Leather, was a preferred stock – a hybrid between a stock and a bond. Back in 1896, common stocks were considered highly speculative, Mr. Sobel says. Leather, incidentally, wasn’t just used for clothing back then: Thick leather bands were used for power transmission in factories.

American Sugar evolved into Amstar Holdings, which sold its sugar business to Britain’s Tate & Lyle PLC and eventually became part of Sweden’s Assa Abloy.

Over the years the number of components included in the average has increased from 12 to 20 to 30 as the U.S. economy has expanded. The Dow’s focus has shifted from agricultural products and basic materials such as coal, iron, lead, rubber and leather to technology companies, financial services providers, manufacturers, and retailers.
