Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in June (+16.5 pts); it has trailed the market most in November (−14.1 pts).
“vs S&P” is Microchip Technology Incorporated’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Microchip Technology Incorporated’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Not enough recent May history to say whether the pattern still holds.
Figures are the typical (median) May return and how often it rose — the last 1 years versus the last 1(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 1-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
The seasonal story is really one month's story — May. It has closed higher in all 1 Mays, a concentration the rest of the calendar can't touch.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+17.2%) and median (+17.2%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. No month is steadier: May's returns vary by just 0.0% year to year, and even its worst May in 1 years lost only 17.2% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — May has outpaced the S&P 500 by +16.4 points on average. Few peers keep such company in May — the typical stock clears it just 55% of the time.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — June, September, and December have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. At the other end of the calendar, November has been the soft spot — the weakest of 6 months that average a loss (−11.8%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in November, July, and April. Its roughest month on record was a −11.8% November in 2025 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
For a stock this dependable in May, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 1-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (May), its worst (November), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2025 its best month (May, +17.2%) has run well ahead of its worst (November, −11.8%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
May has been the strongest, averaging +17.2% and closing higher in its one year on record since 2025.
It's the weakest, averaging −11.8% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
