LQD: iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF research
As of 09-25-2026
LQD has the weakest 3m (-4.6%) and 12m (-2.88%) returns among the bond funds shown, plus a relative strength drag of -10.07% versus the S&P 500 over 3 months. Despite investment grade credit stress being low per the HY OAS reading, LQD's higher duration and 1.35 beta make it sensitive to rate moves that are currently working against it. There is no trend confirmation, it sits below its 200-day average with a larger 5.1% max drawdown than shorter duration peers.
