Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
Equities soared this week, powered by a major rally on Wednesday following Donald Trump's election win. The S&amp;P 500 gained 4.66%, with the Dow rising 4.61%—both achieving their best weeks since November 2023—while the Nasdaq outpaced them with a 5.74% increase. 
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) surged 30%, boosting Elon Musk's wealth, and smaller stocks outshined large caps, driven by potential trade advantages for U.S.-focused businesses. 
A rate cut from the Federal Reserve to a 4.5%-4.75% range on Thursday encouraged further risk-taking, sending the Magnificent Seven's combined market cap to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41857971/trumps-win-sends-wall-street-to-record-highs-small-caps-tesla-outperform-fed-cuts-interest-rates-this-week-in-the-market">a new $17 trillion peak.</a>

Evercore ISI Group Maintains Outperform on Sherwin-Williams, Raises Price Target to $420

Technology giant NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is set to join the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Nov. 8 replacing Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), a move predicted by several market experts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/05/39011237/exclusive-nvidia-dow-jones-inclusion-a-matter-of-when-will-it-replace-intel">Benzinga months ago.</a>
Here's a look at what the Dow Jones Industrial Average inclusion means for Nvidia and why another addition to the index could be more important.
What Happened: Nvidia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41699259/nvidia-rides-ai-wave-to-replace-intel-on-dow-jones-industrial-average-ending-its-25-year-run">will replace Intel</a> in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a move that may have been predicted by a 10-for-1 stock split by the tech giant earlier this year.
"Price wise, shares are at that elevated level where they have announced a split in the past. Rumor wise, a stock split would make shares more attractive to be added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average," Freedom Capital Markets Chief Strategist Jay Woods said before the split was announced.
Woods told Benzinga Nvidia was a prime candidate to be included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which is tracked by the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>).
"When you're the face of the next wave of growth in technology, that being AI, that being the chipmaker, that to me says you should be represented in the Dow Jones Industrial Average," Woods previously told Benzinga.
Launched in 1896, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones Industrial Average</a> is a well-known stock market index that includes 30 blue-chip U.S. companies. The index often changes to include the best barometers of American growth.
One of the key differences between the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other market indexes like the S&amp;P 500 is the Dow is price-weighted and does not account for changes in market capitalization.
This means that company's that have higher share prices have larger weightings than those with smaller stock prices. So while Nvidia's stock split may have helped the company get into the index, it will now hurt the company's position in the index.
Based on data from <a href="https://www.slickcharts.com/dowjones">Slickcharts</a>, Nvidia would be the 21st largest company by weighting in the index if it were added today. The stock would position after Chevron ($153.33) and ahead of 3M Co ($126.94) with a price of $138.76 at the time of writing. Nvidia would have an estimated weighting of between 1.98% and 2.38% based on the current weighting of 3M and Chevron respectively.
Compare that to UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), currently the largest weighting in the Dow Jones Industrial Average at $556.81 and 8.8%.
Intel, which is being replaced by Nvidia, is currently ranked last in the index with a price of $22.54 and weighting of 0.36%.
As one of the largest companies in the world, Nvidia is the second largest weighting in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, representing 6.8% of assets in the ETF. Nvidia is also the second largest weighting in the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>), which tracks the tech sector, with the stock having a weighting of 14.25%.

Another Dow Index Addition: While investors are excited about Nvidia joining the Dow Jones Industrial Average, they might want to look at Sherwin-Williams Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>), which will have a large weighting in the index and see heavier buying from ETFs that cover the index.
Sherwin-Williams has a current share price of $372.97, which will give the company a higher weighting in the index. The stock would currently rank sixth in the index between Caterpillar ($377.72) and Amgen ($317.75). If Sherwin-Williams were added today, the stock would have an estimated weighting of between 4.97% and 5.91%.
Sherwin-Williams is replacing Dow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) in the index, which currently ranks 28th with a price of $48.10 and a weighting of 0.76%.
The new weightings will depend on prices ahead of the Nov. 8 changes and also be impacted by two of the smaller holdings exiting the index.
Why It's Important: Intel has been a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since 1999 but has lagged in stock performance in recent years.
Nvidia is more relevant than Intel and used by the biggest companies, Woods previously told Benzinga.
"The growth is there, the story is there, and now the price is there," Woods said.
Benzinga's "PreMarket Prep" co-host Dennis Dick also predicted Nvidia replacing Intel in the index earlier this year.
"I'd expect this announcement sometime in the summer. I don't think it's a matter of ‘if' NVDA goes into the Dow, I think it's now a matter of ‘when,'" Dick said.
Nvidia shares are up 188.1% year-to-date in 2024 and up 2,573.6% over the past five years. Intel stock is down 52.9% year-to-date in 2024 and down 61.4% over the past five years.
Sherwin-Williams stock is up 22.3% year-to-date in 2024 and up 92.5% over the past five years. Dow stock is down 14.0% year-to-date in 2024 and down 15.0% over the last five years.
The negative performance for Intel and Dow may explain why the Dow Jones Industrial Average has underperformed the S&amp;P 500 index. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF is up 11.1% year-to-date and up 51.2% over the past five years. Compare that to the SPY, which is up 20.8% year-to-date and up 84.9% over the past five years.

Nvidia Joining Dow Jones Industrial Average: Where Tech Giant Ranks In The Index, Why Sherwin-Williams Addition Could Be More Important

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://thearorareport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/2024-11-04_08h03_50.png" alt="" style="width:624px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cash Is Not Trash</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-warren-buffett-apple-trump-trade-nvidia-djia-brk-b-mc-11042024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of Warren Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway Inc Class B (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of BRK.B is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>Warren Buffett is one of the best investors.&nbsp; Prudent investors should pay attention to his actions.</li>
<li>The chart shows BRK.B stock has pulled back to the top of the mini support zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows that BRK.B stock has experienced a decent pullback from the resistance zone.</li>
<li>At a time when the stock market is near an all time high and the momo crowd is not only fully invested but is also nearly fully margined, Berkshire Hathaway's cash pile hits a record high of $325B.&nbsp; Clearly, Warren Buffett is not listening to momo gurus who have convinced their followers that cash is trash.</li>
<li>Buffett did not buy back any BRK.B stock in the third quarter.&nbsp; In The Arora Report analysis, this indicates that Buffett thinks the stock is too expensive.&nbsp; Investors have been running up BRK.B stock not on fundamentals but on sentiment.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Berkshire Hathaway cut its stake in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) by 25%.&nbsp; Instead of buying AAPL stock, Buffett has chosen to reduce the position and pay billions of dollars in taxes.&nbsp; Clearly, Buffett is not persuaded that Apple's efforts in AI are about to deliver big results.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, Buffett is likely looking at the valuation of Apple and the China risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>AAPL stock is trading at a forward PE of approximately 30.&nbsp; The 10 year average PE is 20.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>About 20% of Apple's sales come from China.&nbsp; If Trump is elected, there is a fair probability that Apple may become a pawn in geopolitical maneuvers.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>At The Arora Report, we understand and acknowledge that investors love AAPL stock. As full disclosure, AAPL is in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Model Portfolio.&nbsp; Before sending hate mail for not writing positively about Apple in this article, keep in mind two facts:
<ul>
<li>Buffett has praised Apple, but due to slowing growth and the high valuation, Buffett is being prudent.</li>
<li>The Arora Report's recommendation of AAPL stock has an average price of&nbsp; $4.68.&nbsp; AAPL is trading at $221.40 as of this writing in the premarket.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Nvidia holders are celebrating.&nbsp; NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) will be added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) on November 8, and&nbsp;Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) will be removed.&nbsp; Also being added is paint maker Sherwin-Williams Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) and Dow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>).&nbsp; Investors should note the following:
<ul>
<li>On the average, a stock loses about 4.8% one year after being added to DJIA.</li>
<li>Very little money is tied to DJIA in a passive manner.&nbsp; As such, these additions and deletions do not have the same impact as additions and deletions to S&amp;P 500.</li>
<li>Typically, only the momo crowd buys on additions to DJIA.</li>
</ul>
</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices announced Friday that Nvidia and Sherwin-Williams Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) will join the index next week.
After 25 years on the Dow, Intel will be replaced by Nvidia, while Sherwin-Williams will take over from Dow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>).

This move reflects market shifts in chipmaking and further setbacks for Intel.
The Dow&#8217;s 30 components are weighted by share price, not market cap.
Nvidia positioned itself for inclusion by announcing a 10-for-1 stock split in May, reducing its share price without impacting market cap, allowing it to join without significantly affecting the index&#8217;s balance, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/01/nvidia-to-join-dow-jones-industrial-average-replacing-intel.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Beth Kindig of&nbsp;I/O Fund&nbsp;expects&nbsp;Blackwell chips to help Nvidia reach a&nbsp;$10 trillion valuation&nbsp;by next year.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Intel faces significant challenges. Once dominant in PC chip manufacturing, Intel has lost ground to Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and has yet to progress in AI.

End Of An Era - AI Propels Nvidia To Replace Struggling Intel In Dow Index

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is poised to replace Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) on the Dow Jones Industrial Average index.
What Happened: On Friday, S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices announced that Nvidia, along with paint-maker Sherwin-Williams Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>),&nbsp;will join the index next&nbsp;week.
Intel will be replaced by Nvidia on the Dow Jones Industrial Average index after a 25-year run, while Sherwin-Williams will replace Dow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>).
This change highlights&nbsp;the shift in the chipmaking&nbsp;market and is another blow for Intel, which has seen a decline in its market position.
Intel&#8217;s shares have dropped 54% this year, making it the worst performer on the index and leaving it with the lowest stock price on the price-weighted Dow.

&#8220;Losing the status of Dow Jones inclusion would be another reputational blow for Intel, as it grapples with a painful transformation and loss of confidence,&#8221; said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, reported Reuters.

Why It Matters: Intel, once a dominant player in the chipmaking industry, has lost its manufacturing edge to rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and missed out on the lucrative artificial intelligence boom.
This development comes&nbsp;after Intel expressed optimism about&nbsp;its future, despite&nbsp;warning that it had &#8220;a&nbsp;lot of work to do.&#8221;&nbsp;Intel&#8217;s struggles were evident in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41689889/whats-going-on-with-intel-shares-friday">third-quarter earnings report</a>, where it reported a loss of 46 cents per share, missing analyst estimates.
Intel&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41691058/intel-struggles-with-market-share-profitability-q3-analyst-insights">struggles with market share and profitability</a>&nbsp;have led to a cautious outlook from analysts. The company also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41686435/intel-says-it-wont-even-make-500m-from-gaudi-ai-chips-in-2024-despite-nvidia-minting-billions-ce">fell short of its revenue targets</a>&nbsp;for its Gaudi AI accelerator program in 2024.
On the other hand,&nbsp;Nvidia has emerged as a&nbsp;cornerstone of the global semiconductor&nbsp;industry, thanks to the essential&nbsp;role its chips play in&nbsp;powering generative AI technologies.&nbsp;The company&#8217;s shares have risen&nbsp;more than two-fold this year alone.

Where Sherwin-Williams Stands With Analysts

Baird analyst Ghansham Panjabi maintains Sherwin-Williams (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) with a Neutral and raises the price target from $350 to $360.

Baird Maintains Neutral on Sherwin-Williams, Raises Price Target to $360

The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) shares are trading lower after the company reported third-quarter adjusted EPS and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41447753/the-sherwin-williams-company-reports-2024-third-quarter-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sales below analyst estimates</a>.
Quarterly revenue rose&nbsp;0.7%&nbsp;to&nbsp;$6.16 billion,&nbsp;missing the analyst consensus of&nbsp;$6.20 billion.&nbsp;
Revenue benefitted from the higher sales in the Paint Stores and the impact of the acquisition in 2023, partly offset by lower sales in the Consumer Brands and Performance Coatings Groups.
Net sales in Paint Stores Group rose 3.2%, driven by low-single-digit growth in sales volume and the continued impact of higher selling prices introduced earlier in the year.
Quarterly gross profit increased to&nbsp;$3.028 billion&nbsp;from&nbsp;$2.92 billion a year ago. Gross margin in the quarter expanded to&nbsp;49.1&nbsp;% from&nbsp;47.7% a year ago.
Adjusted earnings per share of&nbsp;$3.37&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">missed the Wall Street view of&nbsp;$3.54</a>.
The company returned cash of&nbsp;$1.97&nbsp;billion&nbsp;to shareholders&nbsp;in the form of&nbsp;dividends and repurchases of 4.4&nbsp;million shares of its common stock during the&nbsp;first nine&nbsp;months of 2024.&nbsp;
As of September&nbsp;30, 2024, the company had authorization to buy back 35.3&nbsp;million shares of its common stock through open market purchases.
Sherwin-Williams&#8217; regular quarterly dividend of $0.715 per common share is payable on December 6 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41364216">to shareholders of record on November 15.</a>
Sherwin-Williams exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents worth&nbsp;$238.2 million.
Outlook:&nbsp;Sherwin-Williams reaffirmed 2024 adjusted EPS&nbsp;guidance to&nbsp;$11.10 &#8211; $11.40&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">vs. the&nbsp;$11.50&nbsp;estimate</a>.
The company now expects full year 2024 sales to be flat to up a low-single-digit percentage (prior view: up low-single digit percentage) compared to full year 2023.
For the fourth quarter, Sherwim-Williams expects net sales growth to be flat to up low-single-digit percentage.
President and Chief Executive&nbsp;Officer&nbsp;Heidi G. Petz said, &#8221;We are highly confident these current near-term investments in stores, sales and technical reps, expanded services and digital capabilities will help generate sustained and profitable above-market growth. We expect SG&amp;A to moderate sequentially, resulting in a low to mid-single digit increase for the second half as anticipated.&#8221;
&#8220;In our pro architectural business, demand remains variable by end market, with no impact to date from recent interest rate cuts. North American DIY demand remains weak driven by inflation and higher consumer debt levels. In our industrial businesses, demand remains choppy by end market and region.&#8221;
&#8221;We are maintaining our previous full year earnings guidance, recognizing the current range is wider than typical entering a fourth quarter. This range accounts for several variables that are hard to forecast precisely, including demand related to recovery from hurricanes Helene and Milton, and the potential for extended holiday shutdowns by industrial customers.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Materials Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLB#NYSE">XLB</a>) and&nbsp;Fidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMAT#NYSE">FMAT</a>).
Price Action:&nbsp;SHW shares are down 3.72% at $367.55 at the last check Tuesday.
