How it trades on rate days

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.73 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Nova Ltd moved 0.73% on average · correlation 0.12 · higher than 72% of US names

  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.73% 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 +0.29% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — Nova Ltd

NVMI 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
Nova designs and sells process-control systems that measure semiconductor wafers as they move through manufacturing, covering dimensions, film thickness and material composition. Its tools check steps such as lithography, etching, deposition and advanced packaging, and its customers span logic, foundry, memory and packaging manufacturers. The company is based in Rehovot, Israel, and was known as Nova Measuring Instruments before its name change.
Where it sits in the stack
In our index, the Rubin Build-Out 100, Nova sits in Layer 3, Assembly & Test, within the Testing & Metrology sleeve alongside inspection and ATE vendors. This sleeve is the constraint that keeps yield curves honest as chipmakers shrink nodes, since metrology confirms a process step behaved as designed before the wafer moves on.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group prices Nova against process-control and equipment names — KLA, Applied Materials, Lam Research, ASML and Onto Innovation; the market also weighs it against fellow Israeli metrology vendor Camtek.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Nova is a Rubin constituent and carries a Closelooknet score, with balance-sheet quality its strongest module and momentum its weakest.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether metrology demand from advanced packaging offsets the momentum weakness the score currently shows.
