Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in November (+7.9 pts); it has trailed the market most in February (−4.5 pts).
“vs S&P” is Bowman Consulting Group Ltd’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Bowman Consulting Group Ltd’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 4 years, March has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 5 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) March 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
This is a stock you can almost set a calendar by, and March is the anchor — it has closed higher in all 4 Marches, the steadiest beat on its year.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+5.1%) and median (+4.3%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. Few months are steadier: March's returns vary by just 3.6% year to year, and even its worst March in 5 years lost only 1.0% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — March has outpaced the S&P 500 by +4.1 points on average. Few peers keep such company in March — the typical stock clears it just 56% of the time.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — June, July, and August have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. The weaker half of the year is plainer: May 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 February, April, and May. Its roughest month on record was a −29.3% August in 2024 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
For a stock this dependable in March, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 5-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (March), its worst (May), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a moderate degree. Since 2021 its best month (March, +5.1%) has run well ahead of its worst (May, 0.0%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
March has been the strongest, averaging +5.1% and closing higher in all 4 years on record since 2021.
It's the weakest, averaging 0.0% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
