Constituent dispersion · breadth vs the index
XLV — Health Care 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 | +1.93% | +1.07 | -3pp | +0.32pp | Confirming ↑ |
| 1 month | +2.16% | +1.34 | +9pp | +2.64pp | Confirming ↑ |
| 1 quarter | +14.48% | +4.31 | +17pp | +3.90pp | Confirming ↑ |
Over the last 126 sessions: price up +7.96%, breadth up (+2/name) · % beating 54→56 · median−ETF +0.31pp→+2.36pp.
Stocks above their moving average — participation breadth
Of the 59 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 2026-08-07.
New highs & new lows — by horizon
How many of the 59 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.
| Horizon | New highs | New lows | Net |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Day | 28 (47%) | 3 (5%) | +25 |
| 1-Month | 14 (24%) | 2 (3%) | +12 |
| 3-Month | 12 (20%) | 0 (0%) | +12 |
| 6-Month | 8 (14%) | 0 (0%) | +8 |

Dispersion by window
| Window | ETF | Median | Median − ETF | Up / Down | Beat / Lag | ±1% band | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1d | +0.75% | +0.89% | +0.14pp | 46 / 13 | 36 / 23 | 31 of 59 | ±2.13% |
| 5d | +1.93% | +2.78% | +0.85pp | 49 / 10 | 39 / 20 | 19 of 59 | ±5.63% |
| 21d | +2.16% | +4.52% | +2.36pp | 41 / 18 | 33 / 26 | 5 of 59 | ±9.08% |
| YTD | +7.47% | +9.27% | +1.80pp | 43 / 16 | 33 / 26 | 3 of 59 | ±25.65% |
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.
