Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in November (+5.5 pts); it has trailed the market most in January (−5.7 pts).
“vs S&P” is FLEX LNG Ltd’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating FLEX LNG Ltd’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, April has closed higher 80% of the time versus 83% across the last 7 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) April 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
Dependability is the through-line here. April stands out, higher in 5 of 6 Aprils, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
The headline flatters a touch — its +6.4% average sits well above the +3.5% a typical year delivers, the work of a few big Aprils. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even April ranges by 11.0% from year to year, so any single year can land far from the average. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: April has cleared the S&P 500 by +4.7 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages April only about 55% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: March, July, and November have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: September is the year's low point, though even there the stock has stayed positive on average (+1.2%), a sign every month leans up, and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in January, June, and August. Its roughest month on record was a −22.6% January 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: April 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 (April), its worst (September), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a moderate degree. Since 2019 its best month (April, +6.4%) has run well ahead of its worst (September, +1.2%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
April has been the strongest, averaging +6.4% and closing higher in 5 of 6 years since 2019.
It's the weakest month, but it has still averaged a small gain (+1.2%) — quiet rather than genuinely bad.
