Nike’s S&P 100 exit fuels speculation over possible Dow removal — 2dNike faces renewed risk of being dropped from the Dow Jones Industrial Average as it exits the S&P 100, with its price-weighted weight at about 0.4% and a share price near $36 making it the smallest Dow component and underperforming the market; analysts say removal odds are rising amid weak sales, slowing innovation, and fierce competition, though the Dow has no fixed removal rule and historically the lowest-weighted stock is often targeted.

Ethan Hawke Leads Convicts on Gold Trek in Depression Thriller The Weight — 4dThe Weight is a grim 1930s-set crime-action drama led by Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe, following Hawke’s character and a small group of prisoners who must transport gold across dangerous terrain amid corrupt officials during the Great Depression.

Herc Rentals Guide Weighs Electric, Diesel Scissor Lift Options — Sep 10, 2026The articles emphasize selecting the right scissor lift by understanding the main types—electric, rough terrain, and diesel—and weighing a project’s specifics such as application, overhead clearance, ground conditions, weight, and working height to ensure safety and efficiency.
