Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in April (+3.4 pts); it has trailed the market most in July (−2.8 pts).
“vs S&P” is Godaddy Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Godaddy Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, February has closed higher 60% of the time versus 80% across the last 10 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) February 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
The seasonal story is really one month's story — February. It has closed higher in 8 of 10 Februaries, a concentration the rest of the calendar can't touch.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+1.1%) and median (+2.4%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — February has outpaced the S&P 500 by +1.4 points on average. It is the more striking for the company it keeps — February is a losing month for most of the market, where barely 49% of names gain ground.
February anchors a run, too: the October-through-April window has been the stock's reliable season. The weaker half of the year is plainer: June has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−1.5%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in July, March, and June. Its roughest month on record was a −18.4% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
At its steadiest, February strung together 7 straight positive years. The pattern has softened of late, February's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
For a stock this dependable in February, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on.
Short answers on the stock's best month (February), its worst (June), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Only mildly. The stock's months are fairly even — February is the firmest (+1.1%) and June the softest (−1.5%), a narrow spread that points to weak seasonality rather than a strong calendar effect.
February has been the strongest, averaging +1.1% and closing higher in 8 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −1.5% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
