This is in contrast with the S&P500, which is market cap-weighted. In the DJIA, the prices of the 30 component stocks are added and then divided by something called the Dow divisor, which is constantly adjusted. The divisor is in place to buffer for the effects of price changes from events like splits or dividends. The divisor is currently 0.132319125. If you need more info, these articles explain it in detail: http://www.djaverages.com/?view=industrial&page=calculation http://www.investopedia.com/articles/02/082702.asp http://www.investopedia.com/articles/exchangetradedfunds/08/index-debate.asp Hope that helps!<br><b>References : </b><br> The DJIA is a price-weighted index, meaning that it is not calculated by changing the number of shares of each stock.
