Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in November (+6.9 pts); it has trailed the market most in January (−2.2 pts).
“vs S&P” is MYR Group Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating MYR Group Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, July has closed higher 100% of the time versus 90% across the last 10 years — the pattern is strengthening.
Figures are the typical (median) July 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
Dependability is the through-line here. July stands out, higher in 9 of 10 Julys, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
A typical July brings +3.4%, a shade under the +5.1% average. It is also the calendar's calmest month, its returns swinging least from year to year (a 5.3% spread), and even its worst July in 10 years lost only 2.8% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: July has cleared the S&P 500 by +2.9 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages July only about 61% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: March, April, and June have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: August has been the soft spot — the weakest of 2 months that average a loss (−1.7%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in January and August. Its roughest month on record was a −30.8% May in 2017 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
July has now closed higher 6 years running. If anything it has sharpened recently — the last five Julys run ahead of the earlier years.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: July aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt.
Short answers on the stock's best month (July), its worst (August), and whether it really trades seasonally.
