Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in June (+1.0 pts); it has trailed the market most in September (−5.7 pts).
“vs S&P” is Edgewell Personal Care Co’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Edgewell Personal Care Co’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, June has closed higher 40% of the time versus 60% across the last 10 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) June 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
There's a real but measured seasonal tilt here, toward June — the firmest corner of the calendar, higher in 6 of 10 Junes.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+1.2%) and median (+2.6%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. Few months are steadier: June's returns vary by just 6.2% year to year. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — June has outpaced the S&P 500 by +1.0 points on average.
On the other side of the ledger, September has been the soft spot — the weakest of 7 months that average a loss (−5.8%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in September, October, and December. Its roughest month on record was a −28.8% May in 2019 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, June's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
Treat it as a tendency rather than a rule — seasonality describes the past, not a promise.
Short answers on the stock's best month (June), its worst (September), and whether it really trades seasonally.
