Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), described as one of the most closely monitored stock indexes in the world, is experiencing a mixed performance today as investors respond to emerging economic news and company-specific news. As industries go contrary, particular stocks are increasing and others are experiencing significant drops. The following is a list of the DJIA stocks to follow to June 13, 2025.
Chevron
The stock of Chevron is recording a slight increase today of 0.65 percent or $145.91. The energy giant is still enjoying stable prices of oil prices in the world, but also steady demand for both oil and gas. Being one of the strongest players in the energy sector keeps the investors interested by providing their diversified choice of business models, including the traditional model of exploring the energy sector and building up some new investments in the energy field, and carrying out the exploration of renewable energy.
Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson has moved a little above to close at 0.28 percent to $157.10. The healthcare conglomerate continues to be one of the more secure and protective plays within the Dow. Johnson & Johnson will still post good profits with its robust pharmaceutical segment, medical device business, and consumer health care and professional business.

Merck
Merck is down by 0.13% and its stock is quoted at $81.71. This fall is insignificant, but because a blockbuster cancer drug, Keytruda, continues to generate a significant share of its revenue, Merck still stays in the spotlight. Investors do not lose faith in the long-term prospects of Merck because of the continued research and move into new therapeutic areas. Even though it suffered a minor decline today, the good fundamentals of Merck make it interesting to healthcare-oriented investors.
Verizon
Verizon stock has declined by 0.35 percent to 43.01. The telecommunications champion has been struggling with the ongoing competition in the wireless market, as well as the need to face competitive pressure on its profit margins due to high rates of infrastructure. Nevertheless, the development of its 5G infrastructure and a high brand presence in the cellular market are the main strengths of Verizon.
Walmart
Walmart is down by 0.41%, and the shares are currently valued at 94.44. The retail titan is facing a difficult consumer environment as inflation is still affecting household budgets. Although Walmart continues to sell staple products well, the rising cost of the supply chain and labour is stifling its profit margins. Despite these adversities, Walmart maintains its powerful market share and value orientation towards pricing, which still appeals to cost-based consumers.
Sherwin-Williams
One of the sharpest falls today has been that of Sherwin-Williams, which is currently down by 5.70 to the tune of $335.88. The paint and coatings company is experiencing poor demand in the housing sector and the developing framework. As the home sales are slackening under high interest rates, fewer homeowners are spending their money on home renovation projects, which has a direct effect on the core business of Sherwin-Williams.
Visa
Visa’s stock has dropped 4.99% to $352.85. The payments giant is facing concerns related to slowing consumer spending and regulatory pressure on transaction fees. While Visa remains a global leader in digital payments, investor concerns about weaker spending trends in some markets have led to today’s notable pullback. Nevertheless, the long-term shift toward digital payments continues to support Visa’s overall growth outlook.
Nike
Nike has seen its stock fall 3.61% to $60.53. The athletic apparel leader is dealing with multiple challenges, including reduced consumer spending on discretionary goods and ongoing supply chain disruptions. While the brand’s global recognition remains strong, weaker sales in certain regions are putting pressure on revenue growth. Investors are watching for signs of a rebound in global consumer demand before returning to the stock market in greater numbers.
