Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in August (+0.9 pts); it has trailed the market most in July (−2.4 pts).
“vs S&P” is Eni SpA ADR’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Eni SpA ADR’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, March has closed higher 80% of the time versus 80% across the last 10 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) March return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 10(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 10-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
Dependability is the through-line here. March stands out, higher in 8 of 10 Marches, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
Its average (+1.1%) and median (+3.5%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even March ranges by 8.5% from year to year, so any single year can land far from the average. Set against the S&P 500, mind, March is close to a wash — the gain mirrors the market more than it beats it. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages March only about 56% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: May, June, and July have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: April 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 July, April, and February. Its roughest month on record was a −21.4% June in 2022 — 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.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: March aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt.
Short answers on the stock's best month (March), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Only mildly. The stock's months are fairly even — March is the firmest (+1.1%) and April the softest (−0.4%), a narrow spread that points to weak seasonality rather than a strong calendar effect.
March has been the strongest, averaging +1.1% and closing higher in 8 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −0.4% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
