Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in January (+54.5 pts); it has trailed the market most in May (−12.7 pts).
“vs S&P” is Draganfly Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Draganfly Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, September has closed higher 60% of the time versus 67% across the last 7 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) September return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 7(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 7-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
September looks the standout, up in 4 of 6 Septembers — yet the appeal is lumpy, leaning on the occasional blow-out year rather than dependable strength.
The headline flatters a touch — its +10.3% average sits well above the +2.7% a typical year delivers, the work of a few big Septembers. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even September ranges by 33.7% from year to year, so any single year can land far from the average. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: September has cleared the S&P 500 by +10.4 points above the index. It bucks the broad tape, besides: September lifts just 39% of stocks across the market.
At the other end of the calendar, August has been the soft spot — the weakest of 6 months that average a loss (−10.7%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in May, August, and July. Its roughest month on record was a −51.0% July in 2021 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
Reassuringly, the tendency has held its shape: the recent five years still track the years behind them.
Hold it loosely, then: the September tendency is genuine but lumpy, more about the occasional outsized year than a gain to bank on. With a short 7-year record and returns that swing hard year to year, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (September), its worst (August), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2019 its best month (September, +10.3%) has run well ahead of its worst (August, −10.7%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
September has been the strongest, averaging +10.3% and closing higher in 4 of 6 years since 2019.
It's the weakest, averaging −10.7% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
