Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in May (+10.8 pts); it has trailed the market most in January (−13.1 pts).
“vs S&P” is Lifezone Metals Limited’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Lifezone Metals Limited’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, December has closed higher 80% of the time versus 80% across the last 5 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) December 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
Strip the year back and a single month does the heavy lifting: December, up in 4 of 5 Decembers while the other eleven tend to blur together.
A typical December brings +0.5%, a shade under the +1.5% average. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even December ranges by 8.2% 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: December has cleared the S&P 500 by +0.5 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages December only about 58% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: March, May, and July have also closed higher more often than not. At the other end of the calendar, January has been the soft spot — the weakest of 5 months that average a loss (−13.3%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in January, October, and April. Its roughest month on record was a −35.0% January in 2024 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: December 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 (December), its worst (January), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2021 its best month (December, +1.5%) has run well ahead of its worst (January, −13.3%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
December has been the strongest, averaging +1.5% and closing higher in 4 of 5 years since 2021.
It's the weakest, averaging −13.3% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
