Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in July (+5.2 pts); it has trailed the market most in October (−7.3 pts).
“vs S&P” is LeMaitre Vascular Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating LeMaitre Vascular Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, November has closed higher 60% of the time versus 80% across the last 10 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) November 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
This is a stock you can almost set a calendar by, and November is the anchor — it has closed higher in 8 of 10 Novembers, the steadiest beat on its year.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+5.3%) and median (+6.4%) 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 — November has outpaced the S&P 500 by +2.9 points on average. Few peers keep such company in November — the typical stock clears it just 62% of the time.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — January, February, and April have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. On the other side of the ledger, October has been the soft spot — the only month to average an outright loss (−6.2%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in October, March, and December. Its roughest month on record was a −28.3% October in 2018 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, November's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
For a stock this dependable in November, 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 (November), its worst (October), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2016 its best month (November, +5.3%) has run well ahead of its worst (October, −6.2%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
November has been the strongest, averaging +5.3% and closing higher in 8 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −6.2% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
