Microsoft, Intel, Home Depot and SBC Are Added to Dow Industrial Average By Phil Serafino Microsoft, Intel, Home Depot, SBC to Be Added to Dow Average New York, Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Dow Jones & Co. said it's adding Microsoft Corp., Intel Corp., Home Depot Inc., and SBC Communications Corp. to the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Monday, putting the two largest computer-related companies into the benchmark for the first time. The publisher of the Wall Street Journal said it's removing Union Carbide Corp., Chevron Corp., Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and Sears, Roebuck & Co. ``Today's changes in the Dow Jones Industrial Average represent a streamlining of its components on a sectoral basis and are the culmination of a comprehensive review of the 30 stocks we undertook over the last several months,' said John Prestbo, markets editor of the Journal. Microsoft and Intel will be the first Nasdaq Stock Market companies in the 103-year-old average, the best-known benchmark for U.S. stocks. Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, competes with Dow Jones in supplying financial news and information.
