Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in June (+5.0 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−8.9 pts).
“vs S&P” is Eagle Point Income Company Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Eagle Point Income Company Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, December has closed higher 80% of the time versus 86% across the last 7 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) December 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
Strip the year back and a single month does the heavy lifting: December, up in 6 of 7 Decembers while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+1.5%) and median (+1.2%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. It is also the calendar's calmest month, its returns swinging least from year to year (a 1.6% spread). Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: December has cleared the S&P 500 by +0.5 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages December only about 58% of the time.
The strength clusters rather than stands alone — December–February forms a firm stretch that carries much of the year. At the other end of the calendar, November has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−1.2%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March, April, and November. Its roughest month on record was a −43.5% March in 2020 — 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: December aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 7-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (December), its worst (November), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Only mildly. The stock's months are fairly even — December is the firmest (+1.5%) and November the softest (−1.2%), a narrow spread that points to weak seasonality rather than a strong calendar effect.
December has been the strongest, averaging +1.5% and closing higher in 6 of 7 years since 2019.
It's the weakest, averaging −1.2% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
