Constituent dispersion · breadth vs the index
XLU — Utilities Select Sector
Divergence over time — price vs breadth, by horizon
The hero read is the 1-month picture; here the same price↔breadth divergence across 1 week / 1 month / 1 quarter, computed over the 126-session history. A/D /name is net advancers-minus-decliners per covered constituent; % beating Δ and median−ETF Δ show how participation shifted. Price rising while those fall = the move is narrowing under the surface.
| Horizon | Price | A/D /name | % beating Δ | Median−ETF Δ | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 week | +2.48% | +1.16 | -20pp | -0.63pp | Confirming ↑ |
| 1 month | +1.65% | +0.29 | -46pp | -2.35pp | Confirming ↑ |
| 1 quarter | +1.18% | +2.87 | -23pp | -1.03pp | Confirming ↑ |
Over the last 126 sessions: price up +8.51%, breadth up (+10.97/name) · % beating 77→35 · median−ETF +1.36pp→-0.55pp.
Stocks above their moving average — participation breadth
Of the 31 covered constituents, the share trading above each simple moving average — the classic breadth gauge. A firm index price with a low %-above-MA is a narrow, top-heavy tape. As of 2026-07-24.
New highs & new lows — by horizon
How many of the 31 covered constituents closed today at a new high (or low) over each window, and the net. A shrinking net as the index holds up = fewer names leading.

Dispersion by window
| Window | ETF | Median | Median − ETF | Up / Down | Beat / Lag | ±1% band | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1d | +0.22% | +0.45% | +0.23pp | 23 / 8 | 17 / 14 | 28 of 31 | ±0.89% |

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.
