Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in January (+2.9 pts); it has trailed the market most in September (−3.6 pts).
“vs S&P” is Energizer Holdings Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Energizer Holdings Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, July has closed higher 80% of the time versus 70% across the last 10 years — the pattern is strengthening.
Figures are the typical (median) July 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
Strip the year back and a single month does the heavy lifting: July, up in 7 of 10 Julys while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+3.0%) and median (+4.4%) 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 4.0% spread), and even its worst July in 10 years lost only 4.5% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: July has cleared the S&P 500 by +0.9 points above the index. Some of that is a strong month market-wide, mind — July rises for about 61% of stocks — so the tendency is real if not unique.
A few other months pull their weight: April, November, and December have also closed higher more often than not. At the other end of the calendar, February has been the soft spot — the weakest of 7 months that average a loss (−2.6%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in September, March, and February. Its roughest month on record was a −34.5% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
If anything it has sharpened recently — the last five Julys run ahead of the earlier years.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: July aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt.
Short answers on the stock's best month (July), its worst (February), and whether it really trades seasonally.
