Reality check
Over the last 3 years, January has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 4 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) January return and how often it rose — the last 3 years versus the last 4(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 4-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
This is a stock you can almost set a calendar by, and January is the anchor — it has closed higher in all 3 Januaries, the steadiest beat on its year.
Read it with one caveat: the average (+14.5%) runs well ahead of the median (+2.9%), so a handful of outsized years — not steady strength — do much of the lifting. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even January ranges by 17.4% 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 — January has outpaced the S&P 500 by +14.7 points on average. Few peers keep such company in January — the typical stock clears it just 53% of the time.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — February, June, and July have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. At the other end of the calendar, April has been the soft spot — the weakest of 2 months that average a loss (−12.7%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in April, March, and November. Its roughest month on record was a −24.8% May in 2023 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
For a stock this dependable in January, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 4-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (January), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2022 its best month (January, +14.5%) has run well ahead of its worst (April, −12.7%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
January has been the strongest, averaging +14.5% and closing higher in all 3 years on record since 2022.
It's the weakest, averaging −12.7% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
