Dow Jones is an index that shows how 30 large, publicly owned companies based in the United States have traded during a standard trading session in the stock market.
But the question is, were the companies you’re invested in performing at this same level or not? The average is price-weighted, and to compensate for the effects of stock splits and other adjustments, it is currently a scaled average.
The value of the Dow is not the actual average of the prices of its component stocks, but rather the sum of the component prices divided by a divisor, which changes whenever one of the component stocks has a stock split or stock dividend, so as to generate a consistent value for the index.
