Stocks exposed to credit spreads

The core five · data through Sep 25, 2026

Of 2 stocks on record, 0 moved up with credit spreads in a way that held up and 0 moved down with it. The other 2 showed no link that could be told apart from noise.

Wider spreads mean lenders demand more to fund companies, often during stress.

Moved up with credit spreads

No stock on record moved up with credit spreads in a way that held up.

Moved down with credit spreads

No stock on record moved down with credit spreads in a way that held up.

Each figure is a stock's typical move in a week when corporate credit spreads widened 0.25 percentage points, after accounting for the stock market, over three years of weekly returns. Only readings that held up are ranked (Clear needs |t| ≥ 2.58, shared across the five core forces). The stocks on record are the S&P 500, measured weekly, plus any stock a visitor has opened.

This describes the past, and it is not a forecast. A stock that moved with credit spreads over the last three years may not do so over the next three, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security.
