Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in May (+11.4 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−9.5 pts).
“vs S&P” is Dynatrace Holdings LLC’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Dynatrace Holdings LLC’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, May has closed higher 80% of the time versus 83% across the last 7 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) May 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
This is a stock you can almost set a calendar by, and May is the anchor — it has closed higher in 5 of 6 Mays, the steadiest beat on its year.
A typical May brings +7.8%, a shade under the +12.1% average. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even May ranges by 15.7% 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 — May has outpaced the S&P 500 by +11.4 points on average. Few peers keep such company in May — the typical stock clears it just 55% of the time.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — January, June, and August have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. The weaker half of the year is plainer: September has been the soft spot — the weakest of 3 months that average a loss (−4.8%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March, September, and February. Its roughest month on record was a −26.4% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, May's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
For a stock this dependable in May, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 7-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (May), its worst (September), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2019 its best month (May, +12.1%) has run well ahead of its worst (September, −4.8%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
May has been the strongest, averaging +12.1% and closing higher in 5 of 6 years since 2019.
It's the weakest, averaging −4.8% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
