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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.86 — moves strongly with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Middleby Corp moved 0.86% on average · correlation 0.21 · higher than 80% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.35 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

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.

What it does
Middleby designs and builds cooking and food-preparation equipment for commercial kitchens and food processors worldwide, spanning ovens, fryers, grills, ventilation, refrigeration and ice machines. It also makes beverage and soft-serve dispensing systems, brewing equipment and packaging lines, along with IoT controls that let operators monitor this gear remotely. The company is based in Elgin, Illinois, and sells to restaurants, food-service chains and food manufacturers rather than to consumers.
Where it sits in the stack

Who it is priced against

Why Closelooknet tracks it
Middleby holds a seat in the Russell 1000 but carries no Closelooknet score, so no module strength can be named, and it has not been quoted in any diary edition.
What the diary watches
Whether commercial kitchen and food-processing capital spending firms enough to support the equipment order book the company depends on.
