The Dow Jones Industrial Average , an American stock index composed of 30 large companies, has changed its components 58 times since its inception, on May 26, 1896.[ 1] As this is a historical listing, the names here are the full legal name of the corporation on that date, with abbreviations and punctuation according to the corporation's own usage. An up arrow ( ↑ ) indicates the company is added. A down arrow ( ↓ ) indicates the company is removed. A dagger ( † ) indicates a change of corporate name.
The index change was prompted by DJIA constituent Walmart Inc.’s decision to split its stock 3:1 thereby reducing Walmart’s index weight due to the price weighted construction of the index. Walmart will remain in the DJIA.[ 2]
