Value in the Dow

I've gone through a valuation of each Dow component. I then split them into 5 equal groups depending on how the market value of each compares to the calculated intrinsic value. Here is the list:

Best value: BA, HD, MRK, MSFT, PFE, XOM

Next group: CVX, DD, DIS, INTC, PG, TRV

Middle group: HPQ, IBM, MCD, MMM, T, VZ

Next group: CAT, CSCO, JNJ, KFT, UTX, WMT

Worst value: AA, AXP, BAC, GE, JPM, KO

So energy and pharmaceuticals, with the exception of JNJ, are near the top. Finance stocks are right there at the bottom-which is partially attributable to the methodology and also the result of the problems in the sector over the last year.

  1. The dow jones is just thirty companies. It does not really represent the market.
