Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in July (+3.7 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−1.3 pts).
“vs S&P” is Amphenol Corporation’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Amphenol Corporation’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, July has closed higher 80% of the time versus 80% across the last 10 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) July return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 10(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 10-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
Dependability is the through-line here. July stands out, higher in 8 of 10 Julys, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
Its average (+5.8%) and median (+5.1%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: July has cleared the S&P 500 by +3.7 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages July only about 61% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: January, March, and April have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: December is the year's quietest corner, essentially flat on average, and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March and December. Its roughest month on record was a −23.0% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
Reassuringly, the tendency has held its shape: the recent five years still track the years behind them.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: July aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt.
Short answers on the stock's best month (July), its worst (December), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a moderate degree. Since 2016 its best month (July, +5.8%) has run well ahead of its worst (December, −0.1%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
July has been the strongest, averaging +5.8% and closing higher in 8 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −0.1% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
