How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −0.08 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Qualys Inc moved −0.08% on average · correlation −0.01 · higher than 7% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.91 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.62% 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 −1.00% 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 — Qualys Inc

QLYS 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
Qualys runs a cloud platform that scans and manages IT assets, vulnerabilities and compliance for organisations, packaged as apps such as vulnerability management, endpoint detection and cloud security posture checks. It also offers TotalCloud, covering workload protection, container security and cloud entitlement management. Customers include enterprises, government bodies and smaller firms across sectors such as finance, healthcare and retail. It is based in Foster City, California, and sells directly and through security consultants and managed service partners.
Where it sits in the stack
Qualys has no seat in our index and sits outside Rubin's build-out layers, belonging instead to the wider security-software sleeve of our universe that covers vulnerability and cloud-posture tools rather than compute infrastructure.
Who it is priced against
There is no assigned peer group for this name; the comparison the market commonly draws is with Tenable and Rapid7 as other vulnerability-management vendors, and Qualys is sometimes set against CrowdStrike as a broader endpoint-security name.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Qualys carries no index seat and no Closelooknet score has yet been built for it, so the diary has nothing scored or quoted to report here.
What the diary watches
Whether Qualys gains any exposure to cloud infrastructure or AI-workload security that would bring it closer to the build-out layers the diary tracks.
