Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in January (+3.8 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−7.2 pts).
“vs S&P” is Envista Holdings Corp’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Envista Holdings Corp’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, December has closed higher 60% of the time versus 71% across the last 7 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) December return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 7(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 7-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 5 of 7 Decembers while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+3.6%) and median (+4.5%) 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 December ranges by 9.7% 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 +2.6 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. The weaker half of the year is plainer: September has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−2.1%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March, September, and June. Its roughest month on record was a −41.7% March in 2020 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, December's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
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 7-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (December), its worst (September), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a moderate degree. Since 2019 its best month (December, +3.6%) has run well ahead of its worst (September, −2.1%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
December has been the strongest, averaging +3.6% and closing higher in 5 of 7 years since 2019.
It's the weakest, averaging −2.1% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
