How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.48 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Universal Display moved 0.48% on average · correlation 0.11 · higher than 50% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 1.65 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.61% 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 −4.26% 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 — Universal Display

OLED 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
Universal Display develops and licenses organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology, selling phosphorescent materials for television, smartphone and lighting displays under its own brand. It also offers flexible OLED fabrication methods and a vapour-jet printing process for depositing materials, plus contract chemistry work for uses outside displays. The company earns from material sales and from licensing its patents to panel makers such as Samsung Display and LG Display. It is based in Ewing, New Jersey.
Where it sits in the stack
Universal Display carries no seat in our Rubin index, the diary's map of the AI hardware build-out. It sits in our broader technology sleeve, under electronic components, closer to consumer display supply chains than to compute infrastructure.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group carries no set for this name. The well-known competitor the market points to is Merck KGaA's OLED materials business, which supplies rival chemistries to the same panel makers.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Universal Display holds a seat in the Russell 1000 through our editions, but it carries no Rubin seat and no Closelooknet score, so the diary is not yet building a module read on it. It has not been quoted in our daily notes to date.
What the diary watches
What the diary watches is whether OLED adoption in television and mobile screens broadens fast enough to lift material volumes, since licensing income moves with panel makers' output.
