There are 15 stocks in column D:R. I am trying to calculate the % change between row 2 and 3 for ever example and then take the average of those averages. I demonstrated what the formula should perform in row 6. Is there a way to embed all of these caluclations into one formula?

One way:
=AVERAGE((D3:R3-D2:R2)/D2:R2)
confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER
Where there is a will there are many ways.

should you be averaging averages?

Is there another way to do this without CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER?
The reason I ask because I will need to extend the column range to V and at this time there are no values in those cells but there will be over time
I guess this would do it too..
=SUMPRODUCT(AVERAGE(--(D3:R3-D2:R2)/D2:R2))
or
=INDEX(AVERAGE(--(D3:R3-D2:R2)/D2:R2),0)
Neither of those work. S2:V3 are all blank cells so the formula is trying to divide a blank cell by a blank cell and is therefor returning #DIV/0!
The sample you gave didn't imply that blanks would be there, not even you original formula took that into account, please be sure to qualify the questions fully beforehand.
=AVERAGE(IF(D2:R2<>"",(D3:R3-D2:R2)/D2:R2))
confirmed with CSE...
I can't get a working non-CSE formula...
Thanks this works now. Sorry for the confusion.
