Looking at what was a brief but massive fallout within broad markets, we are realizing that the Brexit provided a very attractive entry point into a fair number of industries. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was no exception.
Although the DJIA initially dropped practically 800 points following the Brexit news, the index is now back near its pre-Brexit levels.
24/7 Wall St. has picked some of the leading companies in the DJIA and tracked them since the Brexit. We have included a recent trading history, consensus analyst price target, and 52-week trading range.
