I don't think this is true

It is 100% true. The way the DJIA is computed is by summing the share prices of each of the 30 constituents and then dividing by a magic constant (the divisor). When you think about it this way it's obvious that a $1 increase in share price for any of the constituents will have exactly the same impact on the value of the DJIA.



Ah, my understanding was flawed then. Sorry to spread misinformation!
