Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in June (+10.2 pts); it has trailed the market most in February (−15.7 pts).
“vs S&P” is DoubleVerify Holdings Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating DoubleVerify Holdings Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, June has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 5 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) June return and how often it rose — the last 5 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
The seasonal story is really one month's story — June. It has closed higher in all 5 Junes, a concentration the rest of the calendar can't touch.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+10.4%) and median (+10.2%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. Few months are steadier: June's returns vary by just 6.8% year to year, and even its worst June in 5 years lost only 0.3% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — June has outpaced the S&P 500 by +10.2 points on average. Few peers keep such company in June — the typical stock clears it just 52% of the time.
June anchors a run, too: the May-through-August window has been the stock's reliable season. At the other end of the calendar, February has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−16.0%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in February, September, and April. Its roughest month on record was a −38.8% May in 2024 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
June has now closed higher 5 years running.
For a stock this dependable in June, 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 (June), its worst (February), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2021 its best month (June, +10.4%) has run well ahead of its worst (February, −16.0%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
June has been the strongest, averaging +10.4% and closing higher in all 5 years on record since 2021.
It's the weakest, averaging −16.0% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
