Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in February (+14.3 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−4.3 pts).
“vs S&P” is Lattice Semiconductor Corporation’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Lattice Semiconductor Corporation’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, February has closed higher 100% of the time versus 70% across the last 10 years — the pattern is strengthening.
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
Strip the year back and a single month does the heavy lifting: February, up in 7 of 10 Februaries while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+14.0%) and median (+12.0%) 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 February ranges by 17.1% 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: February has cleared the S&P 500 by +14.3 points above the index. It bucks the broad tape, besides: February lifts just 49% of stocks across the market.
A few other months pull their weight: May, June, and July have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: March has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−3.2%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March, January, and October. Its roughest month on record was a −35.1% October in 2023 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
February has now closed higher 5 years running. If anything it has sharpened recently — the last five Februaries run ahead of the earlier years.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: February aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt.
Short answers on the stock's best month (February), its worst (March), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2016 its best month (February, +14.0%) has run well ahead of its worst (March, −3.2%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
February has been the strongest, averaging +14.0% and closing higher in 7 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −3.2% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
