How it trades on rate days

  • Beta, last 3 months −0.27 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.97% 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 +0.84% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — ESCO Technologies Inc

ESE 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
ESCO Technologies makes engineered components and test systems across three areas: aerospace and defence hardware such as filtration, explosive devices for ejection seats, and precision machined parts; utility diagnostic tools and renewable-energy decision software; and RF test equipment including shielded rooms, absorptive materials and calibration services. It sells to aircraft makers, navies, utilities and research and defence labs, and is based in Saint Louis.
Where it sits in the stack
ESCO carries no seat in our index and sits outside the AI build-out stack; it belongs to the scientific and technical instruments sleeve of our broader universe, serving aerospace, utility and RF test markets rather than chip or data-centre supply chains.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet has not assigned a peer group to this name; the vendor's own segment mix spans aerospace filtration, utility diagnostics and RF test equipment, so any comparison would need to be drawn separately for each business.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
ESCO holds no index seat, carries no Closelooknet score yet, and has not been quoted in any edition of the diary; coverage here is limited to chart-level tracking.
What the diary watches
The diary watches how the balance between the aerospace and defence segment, the utility solutions group, and RF test and measurement shifts, since each serves a distinct customer base and cycle.
