3 of the Dow's Worst-Performing Stocks Over the Trailing Year Are Now Screaming Buys
For the past 125 years, the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) has been one of the stock market's most consistent measures of success. Initially comprised of 12 companies, the Dow Jones now contains 30 multinational stocks, nearly all of which are profitable, time-tested businesses.
Although Dow stocks aren't often the fastest growing, this hasn't hurt the index's ability to reach new heights. Two weeks ago, the Dow hit an all-time closing high of 35,625. To put this figure into some context, the Dow has doubled in value since October 2016. On a trailing 12-month basis, it was up 25%, through Aug. 27.
But not all stocks can be winners.
