  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 1.03 — moves strongly with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Middleby Corp moved 1.03% on average · correlation 0.25 · higher than 83% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.66 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.42% 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 −2.89% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

  • 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.
