How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −0.86 — moves strongly against bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Noble Corporation plc moved −0.86% on average · correlation −0.19 · higher than 2% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −1.13 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.12% 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 −1.97% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24
