The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time high of over 45,000 points in December, one of several stock market indexes to hit records after Donald Trump won the <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">2024 presidential election.</a>
Here's a look at the top-performing and worst-performing Dow Jones Industrial Average components in 2024 and how the index's leaders could look much different in 2025.
2024 Performance: In 2024, 18 of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones component stocks </a>were up, with 12 stocks declining for the full year. This includes the original Dow Jones members at the start of 2024 and does not factor in the index changes made throughout the year.
Here's a look at the top five gainers for the full year, based on Dec. 27 closing prices:
<ol>
<li>American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>): +60.7%</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>): +49.4%</li>
<li>JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>): +41.8%</li>
<li>International Business Machines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>): +36.2%</li>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): +32.8%</li>
</ol>
Here are the top five losers for the full year, based on Dec. 27 closing prices:
<ol>
<li>Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDSSQ:WBA): -63.2%</li>
<li>Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>): -59.6%</li>
<li>Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>): -41.9%</li>
<li>Boeing Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>): -30.7%</li>
<li>Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>): -29.6%</li>
</ol>
For comparison, 19 of the Dow Jones components stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36455419/5-biggest-winners-5-biggest-losers-from-dow-jones-industrial-average-in-2023">were up in 2023</a>, with 11 down for the full year.
A quick look at the losers list shows two stocks that are no longer part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, thanks to several changes that took place in 2024 to the 30 core components.
Apple is the only stock to appear on the top gainers list for both 2023 and 2024, ranking fourth in 2023 and fifth in 2024.
Intel was the second-biggest gainer in 2023 before falling in 2024 and turning in the second-worst performance of the 30 stocks. Boeing also flipped from being a top performer, ranking fifth in 2023 to turning in a poor performance in 2024.
Walgreens was the worst-performing Dow Jones stock for the second straight year, but that will be a thing of the past heading into 2025.

 What's Next in 2025: After several years of no changes to the 30 components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the well-known market index made multiple changes in 2024.
The index replaced underperforming Walgreens with Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in February. The index also replaced Intel and Dow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) with NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Sherwin-Williams (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) respectively.
With the changes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will now have four of the seven Magnificent 7 stocks heading into 2025 with Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Apple all included in the Dow.
The stocks that left the Dow Jones in 2024 were among the biggest losers in 2024 for the index, with Walgreens ranking worst for yearly performance, Intel ranking second worst and Dow ranking sixth worst at -27.0%.
The underperformance of several Dow Jones components kept the index down compared to other market barometers. The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average, is up 14.0% year-to-date in 2024.
For comparison, 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, is up 23.8% year-to-date.
The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>), which tracks the Magnificent 7 stocks, is up 68.5% year-to-date.
Having Amazon, Nvidia and Sherwin Williams as components to start 2024 would have made the index's returns look significantly different. While the three stocks that left the index were each down over 25% year-to-date in 2024, here are the year-to-date returns of the replacement stocks in 2024:
<ul>
<li>Amazon: +46.6%</li>
<li>Nvidia: +179.8%</li>
<li>Sherwin-Williams: +11.8%</li>
</ul>
The Dow Jones Industrial Average will look significantly different in 2025 than in previous years, and more changes could be ahead for stocks that have underperformed in the index.

Dow Jones 2024 Scoreboard: Top 5 Winners, Losers — And How Amazon, Nvidia Could Reshape 2025

Billionaire investor and former hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller, a confidant of George Soros, is well known for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42659876/stanley-druckenmiller-pours-funds-into-1-trillion-company-already-trading-up-100">top-down investment style</a> and for paying close attention to macroeconomic factors. 
One of his recent wagers seemingly predicted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 U.S. presidential election</a> ahead of time.
What Happened: According to a 13f filing on Sept. 30, Druckenmiller&#8217;s Duquesne Family Holdings purchased 2,053,323 shares of the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) during the quarter. This now carries a market value of around $123 million. The investment represented 3.9% of Duquesne&#8217;s total portfolio.
The ETF tracks regional bank stocks across the U.S. Unlike large banks, regionals have smaller asset bases, are subject to less regulation and operate in only one region or state.
Regional banks could be poised for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42249615/6-regional-bank-stocks-to-buy-before-trump-names-new-sec-leadership">strong legislative tailwinds</a> following President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s inauguration in January. Trump&#8217;s first term brought deregulation of regional banks and several rollbacks of Obama-era banking policy following the 2008 banking crisis. On the flip side, deregulation poses a risk to the financial sector if lax standards lead to crises.
The ETF is trading 6% higher than it did on Sept. 30. On the Wednesday following election day, the ETF traded up over 13% in a single trading period, reflecting market optimism over the industry&#8217;s prospects under a second Trump administration.
Why It Matters: Druckenmiller&#8217;s investment before the election could be seen as a prescient bet that Trump would win. In October, Druckenmiller said that the market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41448443/market-very-convinced-of-a-trump-win-says-stanley-druckenmiller-why-billionaire-investor-thinks-blue">was &#8220;very convinced&#8221;</a> of a Trump victory. 
It is unclear whether the Bowdoin College and University of Michigan alumnus bought more shares of the ETF between the third-quarter reporting date and the election.
Price-to-book metrics are generally considered more relevant to analyzing bank market valuations. On Monday, the Regional Bank ETF traded 1.1 times its book value. 
Wall Street&#8217;s valuation of regionals has largely rebounded since 2023&#8217;s banking crisis, which saw Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank go under. The ETF traded 0.7 times above the book value in April of 2023. During Trump&#8217;s first term, the ETF traded as high as 1.6 times above book value, reflecting market confidence.

<h3>About Alphabet</h3>
Alphabet is a holding company that wholly owns internet giant Google. The California-based company derives slightly less than 90% of its revenue from Google services, the vast majority of which is advertising sales. Alongside online ads, Google services houses sales stemming from Google's subscription services (YouTube TV, YouTube Music among others), platforms (sales and in-app purchases on Play Store), and devices (Chromebooks, Pixel smartphones, and smart home products such as Chromecast). Google's cloud computing platform, or GCP, accounts for roughly 10% of Alphabet's revenue with the firm's investments in up-and-coming technologies such as self-driving cars (Waymo), health (Verily), and internet access (Google Fiber) making up the rest.

Benzinga Market: Summary S&P Falls In Final Days Of 2024, Natural Gas Rises On Weather Forecasts

MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOLO#NASDAQ">HOLO</a>) shares rocketed on Monday after the company developed an advanced technological solution. The solution uses a fast adiabatic driving protocol to attain coherent control of two heavy hole spin qubits in a double quantum dot system.
HOLO&#8217;s protocol surpasses the limitations of traditional methods like linear ramps, π-pulses, and Landau-Zener channels, delivering superior fidelity in quantum information processing.
The fast adiabatic driving protocol leverages the quantum adiabatic theorem for precise energy control in a double quantum dot system.
By meticulously designing control paths based on adiabatic evolution rules, it guides heavy hole spin qubits along predefined trajectories, ensuring high-fidelity quantum state transitions while avoiding distortions from abrupt energy changes or external disturbances.
Similar to interstellar navigation, this method achieves superior quantum state fidelity by precisely managing energy variations within the system.
MicroCloud&#8217;s fast quasi-adiabatic driving via spin-orbit coupling achieves two key breakthroughs: suppressing charge noise to stabilize qubit operations and ensuring precise qubit initialization for accurate quantum computations. These advancements create a low-noise, reliable foundation for high-complexity tasks.
MicroCloud has developed and implemented both single-qubit and two-qubit gate operations, specifically NOT, CNOT, and SWAP-like gates. In the heavy-hole spin system architecture within the double quantum dot, these quantum gate operations achieve quantum state fidelities as high as 99%.
Price Action: HOLO shares are up 68.3% at $4.04 at the last check Monday.

Through the merger, Kadimastem will become a wholly owned subsidiary of NLS. In consideration, NLS will issue common stock to Kadimastem shareholders. Kadimastem shareholders will hold about 85% of outstanding stock and NLS shareholders will hold the remaining 15%.
The merger has been approved by the board of directors of both companies and a binding merger agreement has been signed. Kadimastem and NLS have received commitments of support with respect to voting for matters related to the merger from shareholders representing more than 40% of its outstanding shares.  
Alex Zwyer, CEO of NLS, stated,&nbsp;&#8220;We are excited about the momentum building around the merger. We believe that this strategic partnership is set to strengthen our market position and enhance shareholder value through expanded growth opportunities. We are focused on executing the merger effectively, as we move forward together in the biotechnology sector.&#8221;

What's Going On With NLS Pharmaceuticals Stock Monday?

Major U.S. stock markets are set to close Jan. 9 to honor the life and legacy of former President Jimmy Carter, who died at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers-shakers/24/12/42716329/jimmy-carter-the-39th-us-president-who-championed-human-rights-and-peace-in-the-middle-east-had-died">age of 100 Sunday.</a>
What Happened: The New York Stock Exchange, which is owned by the Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>), confirmed Monday it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42717748/will-markets-be-closed-for-former-president-jimmy-carters-funeral-heres-what-investors-should-know">will close markets </a>on Jan. 9 as part of President Joe Biden's declaration of a National Day of Mourning for Carter.
Carter served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981 and was the oldest living president until his death Sunday.
"Jimmy Carter, with humble roots as a farmer and family man, devoted his life to public service and defending our freedom," NYSE Group President Lynn Martin said.
Martin said the NYSE will honor Carter's "lifetime of service" to the nation with the market closing on the National Day of Mourning and to coincide with his state funeral on Jan. 9 in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. flag above the NYSE will fly at half-staff throughout the mourning period.
The Nasdaq (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDAQ#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>) will also close operations on Jan. 9 to honor Carter's life and legacy.
"We mourn the loss of President Carter and will be closing our U.S. markets during the National Day of Mourning to celebrate his life and honor his legacy," Nasdaq President Tal Cohen said.

Why It's Important: The announcements from the NYSE and Nasdaq follow an American tradition of closing the stock markets after presidents die.
Major stock markets previously closed on Dec. 5, 2018 to coincide with the National Day of Mourning for former President George H.W. Bush. The markets were also closed on Jan. 2, 2007 to honor the life of former President Gerald R. Ford.
The major stock markets close to honor the lives of former presidents and have also closed due to natural disasters and national emergencies in the past.
Markets closed on April 9, 1968 for the National Day of Mourning for Martin Luther King Jr., the only non-president to receive the stock market honor. Markets are now closed every MLK Day, which is celebrated on the third Monday of January.
With the Jan. 9 closure, the stock markets will be closed three days in January: New Year's Day (Jan. 1), the National Day of Mourning (Jan. 9) and MLK Day (Jan. 20).
