Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in April (+7.4 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−7.5 pts).
“vs S&P” is Northeast Bancorp’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Northeast Bancorp’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, June has closed higher 80% of the time versus 80% across the last 10 years — the pattern is strengthening.
Figures are the typical (median) June 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
This is a stock you can almost set a calendar by, and June is the anchor — it has closed higher in 8 of 10 Junes, the steadiest beat on its year.
Read it with one caveat: the average (+6.8%) runs well ahead of the median (+4.1%), so a handful of outsized years — not steady strength — do much of the lifting. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even June ranges by 10.1% from year to year, so any single year can land far from the average. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — June has outpaced the S&P 500 by +6.5 points on average. Few peers keep such company in June — the typical stock clears it just 52% of the time.
June anchors a run, too: the April-through-August window has been the stock's reliable season. At the other end of the calendar, March has been the soft spot — the weakest of 2 months that average a loss (−6.5%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March and February. Its roughest month on record was a −38.6% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
If anything it has sharpened recently — the last five Junes run ahead of the earlier years.
For a stock this dependable in June, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on.
Short answers on the stock's best month (June), its worst (March), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2016 its best month (June, +6.8%) has run well ahead of its worst (March, −6.5%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
June has been the strongest, averaging +6.8% and closing higher in 8 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −6.5% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
