  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.29 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Maplebear Inc. moved 0.29% on average · correlation 0.06 · higher than 28% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 1.05 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.02% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +0.70% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24
