How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.41 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Globalfoundries Inc moved 0.41% on average · correlation 0.06 · higher than 34% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −0.58 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.78% 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 +1.36% 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 — Globalfoundries Inc

GFS 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
GlobalFoundries runs semiconductor fabrication plants that manufacture chips designed by other companies, working under a foundry model rather than designing its own products. It produces microprocessors, mobile application processors, baseband processors, network processors, radio-frequency modems, microcontrollers and power-management chips for clients across several industries. It also develops quantum technology and partners with the US Department of Energy on artificial intelligence and advanced computing research. It is headquartered in Malta, New York.
Where it sits in the stack
In Rubin, our index of the AI build-out supply chain, GlobalFoundries sits in Layer 2, Fabrication, within the Foundry & Integration sleeve — foundries and IDMs that turn design files into working dies. Capacity at this layer is the binding constraint on the build-out, since fabrication space expands slowly, so utilisation here limits how much the layers above it can ship.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group for GlobalFoundries is IDMs and foundry challengers, comparing it with Intel, AMD, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Nvidia and Qualcomm rather than a plain sector list. Samsung Foundry is the added competitor the wider market often names alongside them.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
GlobalFoundries is a constituent of the Rubin Build-Out 100 and carries a Closelooknet score, with the balance-sheet module reading strongest and momentum reading weakest.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether utilisation across GlobalFoundries' fabs improves, since capacity is the constraint this sleeve is built around, and whether the weak momentum reading turns.

Globalfoundries Inc (GFS) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology, and sits in Layer 2 of the build-out stack. Constituent of Rubin Build-Out 100.

  • Range — 1M to MAX on daily closes. 1D/5D switch a US stock cell to 5-minute intraday bars; index and foreign cells fall back to 1M daily with a note.
  • Grid — 1×1 up to 2×2. Cells are synchronized: pan or zoom one and the others follow the same dates; the crosshair tracks across all of them. 4 INDICES loads Rubin · HALO · AEI · AW40 side by side.
  • Type / Scale — OHLC, line or area; linear or log price axis.

Picking a series

  • Tap the box in a cell's header to browse every Closelooknet series — headline indices, sub-indices, sectors, layers of all six families — plus the constituents.
  • Or type any ticker (NVDA, 7203.T, ASML.AS …) and press Enter — it charts in the cell straight from our data lake.

Studies

  • Overlays / Oscillators rows toggle the standard set (SMA, Bollinger, RSI, MACD …) per cell.
  • Levels (stock cells) draws the structure engine's support lines — regression bands, pivot cluster, SMA-200, the active fib zone.

Drawing

  • Tap a tool (Trend, Ray, H-Line, Fib, Channel, Rect, Note), then tap the chart once per point — the shape follows your finger or cursor between taps. The chart stops panning while a tool is armed; tap the tool again to release.

  • On stocks the scanner's machine count appears automatically in grey — it is fully editable: drag any point, double-tap a label to remove it, Delete to dismiss it for good, Adopt to bring the machine's proposal back.
  • The sequence picker switches 1-5 / A-B-C / A-E / W-X-Y-Z; 1 2 3 cycles the degree; Subdiv starts a one-degree-smaller child count inside a wave.
