Summary · why it matters

Alphabet will replace Verizon Communications in the Dow Jones Industrial Average before trading opens on June 29, 2026. The change comes as Honeywell International spins off Honeywell Aerospace on the same date, with the parent company remaining in the index under the new name Honeywell Technologies. Verizon’s low share price gave it only a half-percentage-point weight in the price-weighted index, while Alphabet’s larger market capitalization and diversified technology businesses are expected to broaden the Dow’s exposure to areas like cloud, AI, and digital services. The index divisor will be adjusted to prevent any distortion from the component change.
