Amid Apple Addition, Best & Worst Performing Dow Stocks
Apple is being added on the day that Dow component Visa institutes a four-for-one split. Because the Dow is price weighted, Visa will go from 9.71% of the benchmarks weighting to 2.53% (pro forma). And, despite Apples addition, the Visa split will cause the information technology sector to decline from a weighting of 19.17% to a pro forma 17.05%.
