Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in August (+10.3 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−6.4 pts).
“vs S&P” is Freedom Holding Corp’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Freedom Holding Corp’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, August has closed higher 80% of the time versus 88% across the last 8 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) August return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 8(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 8-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. August stands out, higher in 7 of 8 Augusts, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
Its average (+10.6%) and median (+10.5%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even August ranges by 9.2% 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: August has cleared the S&P 500 by +10.3 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages August only about 52% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: January, February, and May have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: March has been the soft spot — the weakest of 3 months that average a loss (−5.3%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March, April, and September. Its roughest month on record was a −20.5% April in 2022 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
A long streak recently broke — August had risen 7 years straight before a −6.2% reading in 2025. 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: August aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 8-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (August), its worst (March), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2018 its best month (August, +10.6%) has run well ahead of its worst (March, −5.3%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
August has been the strongest, averaging +10.6% and closing higher in 7 of 8 years since 2018.
It's the weakest, averaging −5.3% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
