Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in December (+3.8 pts); it has trailed the market most in April (−7.2 pts).
“vs S&P” is LG Display Co Ltd’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating LG Display Co Ltd’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, December has closed higher 20% of the time versus 60% across the last 10 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) December 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
There's a real but measured seasonal tilt here, toward December — the firmest corner of the calendar, higher in 6 of 10 Decembers.
A typical December brings +3.3%, a shade under the +4.8% average. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even December ranges by 10.7% from year to year, so any single year can land far from the average. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — December has outpaced the S&P 500 by +3.8 points on average.
December anchors a run, too: the November-through-January window has been the stock's reliable season. On the other side of the ledger, April has been the soft spot — the weakest of 6 months that average a loss (−5.5%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in April, October, and September. Its roughest month on record was a −29.2% September in 2022 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, December's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
Treat it as a tendency rather than a rule — seasonality describes the past, not a promise.
Short answers on the stock's best month (December), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2016 its best month (December, +4.8%) has run well ahead of its worst (April, −5.5%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
