Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in July (+6.5 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−8.0 pts).
“vs S&P” is AdvanSix Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating AdvanSix Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, July has closed higher 80% of the time versus 89% 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
Strip the year back and a single month does the heavy lifting: July, up in 8 of 9 Julys while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+8.7%) and median (+10.8%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even July ranges by 11.9% from year to year, so any single year can land far from the average. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: July has cleared the S&P 500 by +6.5 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages July only about 61% of the time.
Only December comes anywhere near it for reliability. At the other end of the calendar, March has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−6.9%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March, June, and May. Its roughest month on record was a −32.2% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
A long streak recently broke — July had risen 8 years straight before a −18.9% reading in 2025. 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 (March), and whether it really trades seasonally.
