Benchmark fit

WKSP sensitivity to QQQ

The benchmark relationship is weak and explains 4% of weekly movement over the latest year. Current beta is 1.14 and is falling.

Likely beta range-0.43 to 2.70

A wider range means the beta estimate is less precise.

Beta stability30/100

How consistently rolling beta has held its level and direction.

Annualised alpha-138.4%

The weekly regression intercept annualised; it is historical, not expected return.

Tracking error102.8%

Annualised volatility of returns above or below the benchmark.

Pressure and timing

Drawdowns and lead/lag relationship

The strongest link is in the same week. Lead/lag evidence is treated as secondary because timing relationships can change quickly.

Observable signals

Signals that would confirm or change the reading

These are conditions to monitor, not price targets or forecasts.

Relative strengthBelow the zero baseline

A sustained move above zero would mark a meaningful repair in the stock/benchmark ratio.

Up/down beta+4.94 upside-minus-downside gap

Upside beta is higher than downside beta. The favourable split remains intact while that gap stays positive.

Exposure trendBeta is falling

Rising beta means broad-market moves are carrying more weight; falling beta means ticker-specific forces are carrying more weight.

Peer confirmation-36.0 points versus Auto Parts over 13 weeks

Strength shared by the peer group is broader; strength confined to the ticker is more company-specific and usually less stable.
