Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in December (+9.1 pts); it has trailed the market most in July (−2.3 pts).
“vs S&P” is Berenson Acquisition Corp I’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Berenson Acquisition Corp I’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 4 years, August has closed higher 75% of the time versus 75% across the last 5 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) August return and how often it rose — the last 4 years versus the last 5(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 5-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. August stands out, higher in 3 of 4 Augusts, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
A typical August brings +1.2%, a shade under the +2.3% average. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: August has cleared the S&P 500 by +2.0 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages August only about 52% of the time.
The strength clusters rather than stands alone — August–November forms a firm stretch that carries much of the year. At the other end of the calendar, July 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 July, October, and April.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: August aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 5-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (August), its worst (July), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Only mildly. The stock's months are fairly even — August is the firmest (+2.3%) and July the softest (−0.2%), a narrow spread that points to weak seasonality rather than a strong calendar effect.
August has been the strongest, averaging +2.3% and closing higher in 3 of 4 years since 2021.
It's the weakest, averaging −0.2% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
