How it trades on rate days beta 0.65 to TLT · on the worst bond days it fell more than the market

How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.65 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Micron Technology Inc moved 0.65% on average · correlation 0.07 · higher than 66% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 1.39 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −2.07% 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 +0.81% 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 — Micron Technology Inc

MU 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
Micron designs and manufactures memory and storage chips, including DRAM, NAND flash and high-bandwidth memory used in AI accelerators, sold under the Micron and Crucial brands. It organises around four business units — cloud, core data centre, mobile and client, and automotive and embedded — serving data centres, PC makers, smartphone brands, carmakers and industrial customers. It is based in Boise, in the United States.
Where it sits in the stack
In our index, Micron sits in Layer 3, Assembly & Test, within the HBM Memory sleeve — the part of the build-out where demand for high-bandwidth memory has outrun what producers can supply. Chip designers building AI accelerators depend on Micron as a source of that memory, so it acts as a constraint on how many finished accelerators reach customers.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group prices Micron against other memory makers — SK Hynix, Samsung, Sandisk, Western Digital and Seagate — reflecting who the market compares it with rather than everyone in its sector.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Micron holds a seat in our Rubin Build-Out index and in the Nasdaq-100. It carries a Closelooknet score, strongest on the quality module and weakest on capital allocation. The diary has returned to it across several dossiers and reports discussing the AI memory constraint.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether Micron's share of high-bandwidth memory supply keeps expanding as the sleeve's storage side is tracked separately, and how far its swings continue to outpace the broader market on both up and down days.

Micron Technology Inc (MU) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology, and sits in Layer 3 of the build-out stack. Constituent of Rubin Build-Out 100.
