A stock price index. Simple average stock prices have drawbacks, such as the appearance of stock price fluctuations specific to stocks, such as a sudden drop in stock prices due to ex-rights on new shares issued through capital increases. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was devised to correct these drawbacks and show the long-term continuity of prices. It is so named because it is based on the Dow adjustment method used by Dow Jones, publisher of the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, to calculate several stock price averages, including the 30-stock average. While simple average stock prices are calculated by dividing the total stock prices by the number of stocks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average X is unique in that it is calculated by dividing the total stock prices by a separately calculated constant divisor. The formula is:
The old Dow was taken over by the then Nippon Shortwave Broadcasting Corporation (NSB, now Nikkei Radio Corporation), which announced it under the name of the NSB 225 Adjusted Average, and from 1975 the Nihon Keizai Shimbun Inc. announced it as the Nikkei Dow Jones Industrial Average, and from 1985 it was renamed the Nikkei Stock Average (Nikkei Average).

株価指標の一つ。単純平均株価には株式に特有な株価変動、たとえば増資新株の権利落ちなどによる株価の急落が現れるなどの欠点がある。これらの欠点を修正し、価格の長期的な連続性を表示するために考案されたものがダウ式平均株価である。アメリカの『ウォール・ストリート・ジャーナル』を発行するダウ・ジョーンズ社が、工業株30種平均をはじめ、数種の株価平均を算出するのに用いているダウ式修正法の算式によっていることからこの名がある。単純平均株価が株価合計を銘柄数で割って求められるのに対し、ダウ式平均株価Xは、株価合計を別途に計算された恒常除数で割って求めるところに特色がある。その算式は
旧ダウについては当時の日本短波放送(NSB。現日経ラジオ社)が受け継いで、NSB225種修正平均の呼び名で発表、1975年からは日本経済新聞社が日経ダウ平均株価として発表、1985年からは日経平均株価(日経平均)と改称している。 [桶田 篤] [参照項目] | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
