The Dow Jones Industrial Average - that group of 30 blue-chip behemoths with long track records of outperformance - is trailing the other major indexes by a wide margin this year.
But the Dow's 30 stocks are starting to catch up.
The DJIA is down nearly 10% year-to-date. That compares unfavorably with the S&P 500's drop of less than 5%, to say nothing of the Nasdaq Composite's rise of more than 7%. Since the market's bottom in March, however, it's essentially a three-way tie. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq are all up about 40%.
If you want to ride the coattails of the Dow's accelerating revival, just remember that not all Dow stocks are created equal. Each index component has a solid pedigree. However, their short- to intermediate-term prospects diverge widely.
If you want to pick and choose among the bluest of blue chips, you can look at this full list of 30 Dow stocks that we've sorted by analysts' average recommendation. Here's how it works: S&P Global Market Intelligence surveys analysts' stock calls and scores them on a five-point scale, where 1.0 equals a Strong Buy and 5.0 is a Strong Sell. Scores between 3.5 and 2.5 translate into a Hold recommendation. Any score lower than 2.5 means that analysts, on average, rate the stock as being Buy-worthy. The closer a score gets to 1.0, the better.
Read on as we show you how Wall Street's analysts rate all 30 Dow stocks right now - and what they have to say about them.
