AUKUS Boost for Scotland: Rosyth Dockyard to Build US Virginia-Class Submarine Modules as HMS Formidable Keel Is Laid

  • Alphabet Swaps In for Verizon on Dow; Nike's Spot Uncertain as Shares Slide
    June 30, 2026, 2:51 AM EDT. Alphabet has taken Verizon Communications' place on the Dow Jones Industrial Average after Honeywell's aerospace spinoff led to changes in the index.

The shares have lagged since joining the Dow in 2013, despite a 24-year dividend growth streak and a 4% yield. Nike's direct-to-consumer push has run into trouble with inflation and tariffs. CEO Elliott Hill sees a turnaround by spring 2027 but says headwinds remain. Nike's position in the Dow is under pressure with its falling price and rough run.
