How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.63 — moves strongly with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), CAE Inc. Common Shares moved 0.63% on average · correlation 0.18 · higher than 58% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.75 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.17% 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 +0.86% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

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 — CAE Inc. Common Shares

CAE 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
CAE builds training and simulation equipment, organised into a Civil Aviation segment and a Defense and Security segment. Civil Aviation supplies flight simulators, pilot and crew courses, and digital tools for airlines and maintenance operators. Defense and Security delivers simulation-based training for armed forces, equipment makers and public-safety agencies. It is based in Saint-Laurent, Canada.
Where it sits in the stack
CAE carries no seat in our index; it sits in the Industrials sector of the Closelooknet universe, grouped with other US-listed industrial names. Its business runs alongside the simulation and computer-aided-engineering tools the diary tracks elsewhere, but CAE itself builds physical training hardware rather than the design software.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group compares it with other scored Industrials names in the same country, including Nordson, Cintas and Verisk Analytics, grouped mainly by sector rather than by what they make. The market more often names L3Harris Technologies as a comparable defence and simulation supplier.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
CAE carries a Closelooknet score, with valuation the strongest module and momentum the weakest. The diary's dossiers discuss the wider simulation and CAE market when covering a large tools merger, and a report on industrial workflows describes CAE-type simulation as sharing the same seat-based, specialist-run shape as chip-design software; CAE Inc. itself is not treated as part of that design-tool layer.
What the diary watches
Whether consolidation among simulation and engineering-software vendors changes the tools CAE's training business depends on, and whether momentum in the shares recovers from its current weak reading.

CAE Inc. Common Shares (CAE) trades on US exchanges, classified under Industrials.

The Closelooknet company score reads 40/100 composite (momentum 25, quality 38, valuation 48) across 7 modules — the full breakdown, chart structure and analog history load live above.
