Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in November (+2.4 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−4.8 pts).
“vs S&P” is Apple Hospitality REIT Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Apple Hospitality REIT Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, November has closed higher 60% of the time versus 60% across the last 10 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) November 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
There's a real but measured seasonal tilt here, toward November — the firmest corner of the calendar, higher in 6 of 10 Novembers.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+4.7%) and median (+3.6%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even November ranges by 9.7% from year to year, so any single year can land far from the average. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — November has outpaced the S&P 500 by +2.4 points on average. Some of that is a strong month market-wide, mind — November rises for about 62% of stocks — so the tendency is real if not unique.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — July and September have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. On the other side of the ledger, April 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, June, and April. Its roughest month on record was a −29.9% 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.
Treat it as a tendency rather than a rule — seasonality describes the past, not a promise.
Short answers on the stock's best month (November), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a moderate degree. Since 2016 its best month (November, +4.7%) has run well ahead of its worst (April, −0.5%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
November has been the strongest, averaging +4.7% and closing higher in 6 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −0.5% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
