The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- XLP closes above its 50-day average ($84.70), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($84.50): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $90.79, XLP is within 1% of its 1-year high of $90.91, set on November 2, 2026; it is 20.8% above its 1-year low of $75.16 (November 6, 2025).
- Over the past month XLP rose 12.7%, from $80.53 to $90.79.
- XLP trades at 26.9x its last twelve months of earnings; Yahoo Finance has no forward estimate for it.
- XLP's 30-day volatility, 19.1% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.2%.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $84.70 (−6.7% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $84.50 (−6.9%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $90.91 (+0.1%) would be a new 1-year high; below $75.16 (−17.2%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for XLP, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
