Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in January (+11.2 pts); it has trailed the market most in April (−10.6 pts).
“vs S&P” is GE HealthCare Technologies Inc.’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating GE HealthCare Technologies Inc.’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 3 years, June has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 4 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) June return and how often it rose — the last 3 years versus the last 4(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 4-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. June stands out, higher in all 3 Junes, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
A typical June brings +1.8%, a shade under the +2.8% average. It is among its calmest months, too, its returns swinging least from year to year (a 2.0% spread), and even its worst June in 4 years lost only 1.0% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: June has cleared the S&P 500 by +2.5 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages June only about 52% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: January, February, and August have also closed higher more often than not. At the other end of the calendar, April has been the soft spot — the weakest of 3 months that average a loss (−9.0%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in April, October, and July. Its roughest month on record was a −14.8% April in 2024 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: June aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 4-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (June), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2022 its best month (June, +2.8%) has run well ahead of its worst (April, −9.0%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
June has been the strongest, averaging +2.8% and closing higher in all 3 years on record since 2022.
It's the weakest, averaging −9.0% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
