Verizon Falls From Dow Top Spot
We can use our data to track individual stocks, industries, sectors, and indices. For today's bulletin, we present key metrics for the top picks in the Dow Jones Industrials. The companies listed below represent the top stocks within the index. They are presented below according to their one-month forecast gain.
When we look at our Dow top-ten list lately, two things are true; we typically see very little turnover, and Verizon (VZ) is number one. This month we see some slight variation to this rule as Verizon has been dethroned as the top Dow stock by IBM. Since we last presented the top Dow picks on October 13th, we also have two newcomers--Wal-Mart (WMT) and Caterpillar (CAT). Those newcomers replaced Dupont (DFT) and Traveler's Insurance (TRV).
Within the remaining eight unchanged components, Cisco (CSCO), United Health (UNH), and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) climbed up along with IBM. Johnson and Johnson (JNJ), Intel (INTC), and Merck (MRK) declined along with Verizon.
Also, be advised that once again we have no STRONG BUY-rated stocks in the Dow right now. Intel, Merck, and Caterpillar are Not ranked BUY, they are all currently rated as HOLDs by our models. The top-seven other DOW companies are BUY-rated stocks.
