Procter & Gamble Co. NYSE: PG seeing a new high, but the 52-wk high is elusive because of what is likely the ex-dividend. Its dividend yield is 2.9%.

The Clorox Co. NYSE: CLX is small for consumer products players at $10.8-B in market cap, but with a new high of 82.85, its yield is 3.1%.

United Rentals Inc. NYSE: URI is the equipment rental giant. Shares hit a new high of 56.87 Wednesday, and its market cap is just under $5.2-B.

The Walt Disney Co. NYSE: DIS is seeing a boom from its entertainment properties and its recent Star Wars acquisition. DIS marked new high, but that high came on Tuesday. Disney may not raise its dividend, it has a low yield for a DJIA stock.

Some analysts are saying that the DJIA Y 2013 will see a high of 14,590 in Y 2013. For it to happen, more and more of the major companies have to tap and mark all-time highs on the DJIA
