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 | -2.89% | -1.81 | -16pp | -1.16pp | Confirming ↓ |
| 1 month | -3.06% | -2.61 | -48pp | -4.48pp | Confirming ↓ |
| 1 quarter | -4.09% | +0.77 | -26pp | -2.06pp | Improving |
Over the last 126 sessions: price up +3.09%, breadth up (+7.81/name) · % beating 81→29 · median−ETF +1.70pp→-1.74pp.
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 2026-08-03.
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 | +0.02% | -0.08% | -0.10pp | 14 / 17 | 14 / 17 | 25 of 31 | ±1.57% |

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.
