Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in August (+13.7 pts); it has trailed the market most in November (−10.3 pts).
“vs S&P” is Ramaco Resources Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Ramaco Resources Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, August has closed higher 40% of the time versus 56% across the last 9 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) August return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 9(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 9-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
The year leans August's way without overwhelming the rest of it: the stock has closed higher in 5 of 9 Augusts, its most dependable month if not a dominant one.
Its average (+14.0%) and median (+20.3%) 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 August ranges by 19.4% 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: August has cleared the S&P 500 by +13.7 points above the index.
On the other side of the ledger, March has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−7.3%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in November, March, and April. Its roughest month on record was a −43.7% November in 2025 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, August'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. With a short 9-year record and returns that swing hard year to year, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (August), its worst (March), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2017 its best month (August, +14.0%) has run well ahead of its worst (March, −7.3%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
August has been the strongest, averaging +14.0% and closing higher in 5 of 9 years since 2017.
It's the weakest, averaging −7.3% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
