GM and Citigroup Replaced by Cisco and Travelers in the Dow

Starting next Monday GM and Citigroup will no longer be in the list of 30 companies making up the Dow Jones Industrial Average. I posted in 2005 that GM should be dropped from the DJIA. GE has lasted in the Dow for more than 100 years. 12 of the 30 stocks have been added since 1997. Cisco and Travelers are the companies that are joining the Dow on June 8th.

The 30 stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as of June 8th, 2009:

Stock Market Capitalization Year Added
Exxon (XOM)             $347 Billion     1928
Walmart (WMT) 195     1997
Microsoft 189     1999
Proctor & Gamble (PG) 155     1932
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) 153     1997
GE 147     1896
AT&T (T) 145     1999
IBM 143     1979
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) 141     1991
Chevron (CVX) 138     2008
Coca-Cola (KO) 113     1987
Cisco (CSCO) 112     2009
Pfizer (PFE) 100     2004
Intel (INTC)   91     1999
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ)   85     1997
Verizon (VZ)   84     2004
Bank of America (BAC)   75     2007
McDonald’s (MCD)   66     1985
Merck (MRK)   58     1979
United Technologies (UTX)   52     1939
Walt Disney (DIS)   47     1991
3M (MMM)   41     1976
Home Depot (HD)   41     1999
Kraft (KFT)   39     2008
Boeing (BA)   34     1987
American Express (AXP)   31     1982
DuPont (DD)   27     1935
Travelers (TRV)   27     2009
Caterpillar (CAT)   22     1991
Alcoa (AA)   9     1959

Stocks worth consideration for inclusion, in my opinion: Toyota (TM) $128 billion, Google (GOOG) $134 billion (the way the Dow is calculated – where the impact of an individual stock is based on stock price [not market cap as you might think] – means Google is not likely to be included unless they change that calculation) and Danaher (DHR) $20 billion. Market capitalization figures are from 1 June 2009. Cisco was on my previous list of stocks worth including.

    I think it’s pretty ridiculous that GM stayed on the list for as long as it did!
