Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in June (+21.1 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−15.2 pts).
“vs S&P” is Gitlab Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Gitlab Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 4 years, June has closed higher 75% of the time versus 75% across the last 5 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) June return and how often it rose — the last 4 years versus the last 5(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 5-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
Strip the year back and a single month does the heavy lifting: June, up in 3 of 4 Junes while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+21.4%) and median (+22.1%) 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 June ranges by 19.2% 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: June has cleared the S&P 500 by +21.1 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 and October have also closed higher more often than not. On the other side of the ledger, February has been the soft spot — the weakest of 5 months that average a loss (−11.9%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March, February, and April. Its roughest month on record was a −23.1% May in 2022 — 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 5-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (June), its worst (February), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2021 its best month (June, +21.4%) has run well ahead of its worst (February, −11.9%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
June has been the strongest, averaging +21.4% and closing higher in 3 of 4 years since 2021.
It's the weakest, averaging −11.9% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
