Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in February (+5.7 pts); it has trailed the market most in September (−9.4 pts).
“vs S&P” is LegalZoom.com Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating LegalZoom.com Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, October has closed higher 60% of the time versus 60% across the last 5 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) October return and how often it rose — the last 5 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
There's a real but measured seasonal tilt here, toward October — the firmest corner of the calendar, higher in 3 of 5 Octobers.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+3.5%) and median (+5.1%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. No month is steadier: October's returns vary by just 6.4% year to year. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — October has outpaced the S&P 500 by +2.4 points on average.
Only August comes anywhere near it for reliability. At the other end of the calendar, September has been the soft spot — the weakest of 6 months that average a loss (−9.5%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in September, April, and November. Its roughest month on record was a −33.0% November in 2021 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
Treat it as a tendency rather than a rule — seasonality describes the past, not a promise. With a short 5-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (October), its worst (September), and whether it really trades seasonally.
