Reality check
Over the last 5 years, January has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 7 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) January 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
This is a stock you can almost set a calendar by, and January is the anchor — it has closed higher in all 6 Januaries, the steadiest beat on its year.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+6.6%) and median (+7.4%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. No month is steadier: January's returns vary by just 3.7% year to year, and even its worst January in 7 years lost only 0.0% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — January has outpaced the S&P 500 by +6.8 points on average. Few peers keep such company in January — the typical stock clears it just 53% of the time.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — February, August, and September have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. The weaker half of the year is plainer: March has been the soft spot — the weakest of 3 months that average a loss (−3.5%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March, October, and July. Its roughest month on record was a −25.9% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
January has now closed higher 6 years running. Reassuringly, the tendency has held its shape: the recent five years still track the years behind them.
For a stock this dependable in January, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 7-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (January), its worst (March), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2019 its best month (January, +6.6%) has run well ahead of its worst (March, −3.5%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
January has been the strongest, averaging +6.6% and closing higher in all 6 years on record since 2019.
It's the weakest, averaging −3.5% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
