Summary · why it matters

The Dow Jones Industrial Average replaced Verizon Communications with Google parent Alphabet today, marking the 54th change in the index's history. Alphabet's Class A shares, priced at $345.29, become the sixth most influential component in the price-weighted index, while Verizon's $45.68 share price gave it just 0.5% weighting. The committee also signaled that Nike, whose share price fell below $42, is at risk of removal after a five-year decline linked to its direct-to-consumer strategy and weak China sales.
