when will the next dow industry index change

The next Dow Jones Industrial Average change is scheduled for before the market opens on June 29, 2026 , when Alphabet is set to replace Verizon, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices reporting.

What happened

This is a constituent change in the 30-stock Dow, not a change to the index’s name or structure. The update was announced in connection with Honeywell’s spinoff and Verizon’s removal.

Why it matters

Dow changes are relatively rare and usually happen because of corporate actions, sector balance, or index rebalancing decisions. In this case, the change is designed to keep the index representative of the U.S. market.

In plain terms

If you meant a different “Dow industry index change,” the timing can vary depending on whether you mean:

  • A constituent swap in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
  • A regular index review by S&P Dow Jones Indices.
  • A broader market move in the Dow itself.

The most direct answer is: the next announced Dow Jones Industrial Average constituent change is June 29, 2026.
