How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.54 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Carpenter Technology Corporation moved 0.54% on average · correlation 0.11 · higher than 49% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −1.07 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.47% 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 +1.47% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24
