How it trades on rate days beta −0.10 to TLT · on the worst bond days it moved with the market

How it trades on rate days

How NTAP has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −0.10 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), NetApp Inc moved −0.10% on average · correlation −0.02 · higher than 7% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −1.03 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.90% 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 −0.05% TLT −1.32% that day 2026-11-10

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — NetApp Inc

NTAP in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
NetApp sells data management software and storage systems that companies use to run and protect enterprise data across on-premises and cloud settings. Its ONTAP software underpins hardware such as the AFF and ASA arrays, and it offers cloud-native storage built into Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. It also sells backup, disaster recovery and ransomware protection, delivered through direct sales and cloud-provider partners.
Where it sits in the stack
NetApp carries no seat in Rubin or Halo, our AI infrastructure indices. It sits in the Storage sleeve of our wider universe, alongside disk and flash makers whose capacity underpins data held for training and inference workloads.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group prices NetApp against storage hardware and memory names — Western Digital, Seagate Technology, Sandisk and Micron Technology — reflecting shared exposure to storage-capacity demand. Pure Storage, another all-flash array maker, is the additional comparison investors often draw.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
NetApp holds a seat in the S&P 500 and carries a Closelooknet score, where momentum is the strongest module and valuation the weakest. The diary has quoted it twice: once as one of the all-flash array partners building physical storage for agentic infrastructure, and once on a forward watchlist of storage names tied to a chipmaker's roadmap.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether cloud storage revenue and all-flash array demand keep pace with the wider build-out, given how closely the name trades alongside its hardware peers.

NetApp Inc (NTAP) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology.

The Closelooknet company score reads 64/100 composite (momentum 65, quality 85, valuation 40) across 7 modules — the full breakdown, chart structure and analog history load live above.
