Over the last 5 years, October has closed higher 60% of the time versus 44% across the last 10 years — the pattern is strengthening.
Figures are the typical (median) October 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 little seasonal signal to find. No month pulls clear: October is nominally the steadiest, yet at 4 of 9 Octobers it's barely better than a coin toss.
Its roughest month on record was a −85.1% June in 2016 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
If anything it has sharpened recently — the last five Octobers run ahead of the earlier years.
The honest read is that the calendar is close to noise here — better treated as background than a reason to act. With returns that swing hard year to year, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (October), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2016 its best month (October, −1.7%) has run well ahead of its worst (April, −26.4%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
October has been the strongest, averaging −1.7% and closing higher in 4 of 9 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −26.4% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
