NVIDIA and Sherwin-Williams Join the Dow Jones Industrial Average in Major Index Shake-Up

Intel and Dow Inc. Make Way for Sector Realignment, While Vistra Replaces AES in the Dow Jones Utility Average

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), one of the world’s most closely watched stock indices, will undergo significant updates effective prior to the opening of trading on Friday, November 8. Semiconductor giant NVIDIA Corp. (NASD: NVDA) and paint and coatings leader The Sherwin-Williams Co. (SHW) will replace Intel Corp. (INTC) and Dow Inc. (DOW), respectively. These changes are aimed at enhancing the DJIA’s representation of key sectors within the U.S. economy.

NVIDIA’s inclusion in the DJIA marks a notable shift, further spotlighting the semiconductor sector’s influence on the broader market. Intel’s departure from the index, after a long-standing tenure, reflects a strategic alignment favoring NVIDIA’s growing market dominance and its role in shaping next-generation technologies, including artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. By contrast, Intel’s slower stock performance had led to diminished impact within the price-weighted DJIA, making room for NVIDIA, whose recent growth has driven its market valuation sharply higher.

Sherwin-Williams replaces Dow Inc., bringing a focus on diversified materials and consumer products back into the mix. The decision to add Sherwin-Williams underscores its sizable market cap and its importance within the consumer and industrial goods sectors. Dow Inc., the smallest company in the DJIA by market capitalization, has seen more modest performance, aligning with the decision to transition to Sherwin-Williams, a company widely recognized for its performance and influence in the materials industry.

The DJIA is calculated based on price weighting, where a component’s stock price influences its weight in the index. Persistently low-priced stocks contribute less to index movement, which factored into the decision to replace Intel and Dow Inc. with higher-priced and high-performing companies. By adjusting its components, the DJIA aims to offer investors a more accurate snapshot of key economic drivers.

In addition to changes in the DJIA, the Dow Jones Utility Average (DJUA) will replace The AES Corp. (AES) with Vistra Corp. (VST) to better represent the utility sector. This adjustment brings increased focus on Independent Power Producers and Renewable Electricity Producers, as Vistra aligns with current trends in clean and renewable energy generation. Like the DJIA, the DJUA is price-weighted, and this reshuffle ensures the index more accurately captures the evolving dynamics within the utilities sector.

The adjustment to the divisors used in calculating these indices will take place before the market opens on November 8, preventing any distortion in index performance from the new additions. The updated divisors will be available on the S&P Dow Jones Indices FTP site by November 7.

With these revisions, the DJIA and DJUA indices reflect the dynamic shifts in technology, materials, and energy sectors, underscoring the pivotal role of semiconductor advancements, diversified industrial materials, and renewable energy in today’s market. The updates further strengthen the indices’ position as comprehensive indicators of the U.S. stock market.
