  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −0.32 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Lumentum Holdings Inc moved −0.32% on average · correlation −0.03 · higher than 5% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −2.31 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.42% on average against −0.72% 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 −1.78% TLT −1.32% that day 2026-11-10
