Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in July (+4.4 pts); it has trailed the market most in September (−4.5 pts).
“vs S&P” is Broadstone Net Lease Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Broadstone Net Lease 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 80% across the last 6 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) July return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 6(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 6-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
The seasonal story is really one month's story — July. It has closed higher in 4 of 5 Julys, a concentration the rest of the calendar can't touch.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+6.5%) and median (+7.1%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — July has outpaced the S&P 500 by +4.4 points on average. Few peers keep such company in July — the typical stock clears it just 61% of the time.
July anchors a run, too: the May-through-August window has been the stock's reliable season. At the other end of the calendar, April has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−2.3%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in September, April, and February. Its roughest month on record was a −16.1% September in 2022 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
For a stock this dependable in July, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 6-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (July), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
