Median − ETF below zero means the typical name is lagging the cap-weighted index — the move is top-heavy. "Beat" counts constituents outperforming the ETF over the window. Dispersion is the cross-sectional standard deviation of constituent returns — high = a stock-picker's tape, low = pure beta.

FAQ · from the current data

QQXT dispersion — data Q&A

Is QQXT's move broad or carried by a few names (21 sessions)?

As of 2026-09-24: over 21 sessions the fund returned -7.51% while its median constituent returned -6.64% — a dispersion of 7.84 pp; 55% of 56 members beat the fund. Broad decline - breadth is falling with price.

How did QQXT's members trade in the last session?

As of 2026-09-24: fund -0.62%, median member -0.44%, 20 advancers vs 35 decliners.

What does the dispersion page for QQXT measure?

It splits the fund into its members: the fund's own return against the median constituent, how many members beat the fund, advancers vs decliners, and a cumulative advance/decline line that tends to lead price. A firm fund price with a weak median and a falling A/D line is a narrow, top-heavy tape; a broad move shows the median keeping up. 56 constituents covered, re-baked nightly from the Closelook lake.

Is this investment advice?

No — a data surface in an investment research diary. It describes breadth inside a fund; it makes no recommendation.
