How it trades on rate days beta −0.24 to TLT · on the worst bond days it held up better than the market

How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −0.24 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), MaxLinear Inc moved −0.24% on average · correlation −0.02 · higher than 5% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.05 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +1.86% 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 +1.17% 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 — MaxLinear Inc

MXL 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
MaxLinear designs semiconductor systems-on-chip for communications equipment, combining radio frequency, analog, digital signal processing, security and power-management functions on one chip. Its products go into 4G and 5G base-station and backhaul radios, optical transceivers, home Wi-Fi and wireline routers, and broadband modems for cable, fibre and DSL networks. It sells through distributors, module makers and equipment manufacturers, and partners with Edgecore Networks and GCT Semiconductor on network-infrastructure and 5G gateway products. It is based in Carlsbad, California.
Where it sits in the stack
MaxLinear holds no seat in Rubin, our AI build-out index; it sits in the communications-semiconductor part of the sector, making chips for broadband and wireless network infrastructure rather than for AI compute or data-centre hardware.
Who it is priced against
The diary sets no peer group for MaxLinear; the comparison the market sometimes draws is with Broadcom's networking-chip lines, though MaxLinear works in broadband and wireless-access silicon rather than data-centre switching.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
MaxLinear carries no index seat and does not yet hold a Closelooknet score. The diary noted it once, in a Daily Pulse piece on semiconductors, quoting it as the top holding in a portfolio at a weight several times Nvidia's, a detail flagged as unusual position sizing.
What the diary watches
Whether that outsized weighting in the portfolio the Pulse noted holds up, and whether MaxLinear's networking business grows enough to earn a formal seat in our indices.
