How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.47 — tends to move with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Becton Dickinson and Company moved 0.47% on average · correlation 0.17 · higher than 49% of US names

  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.08% 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 −1.80% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24
