Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in January (+13.7 pts); it has trailed the market most in March (−10.6 pts).
“vs S&P” is Oculis Holding AG Ordinary shares’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Oculis Holding AG Ordinary shares’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 4 years, January has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 5 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) January return and how often it rose — the last 4 years versus the last 5(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 5-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: January, up in all 4 Januaries while the other eleven tend to blur together.
A typical January brings +9.1%, a shade under the +13.5% average. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even January ranges by 14.4% 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: January has cleared the S&P 500 by +13.7 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages January only about 53% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: April, June, and August have also closed higher more often than not. On the other side of the ledger, February has been the soft spot — the weakest of 6 months that average a loss (−6.0%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in March, February, and July. Its roughest month on record was a −36.5% March in 2023 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: January aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 5-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (January), its worst (February), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2021 its best month (January, +13.5%) has run well ahead of its worst (February, −6.0%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
January has been the strongest, averaging +13.5% and closing higher in all 4 years on record since 2021.
It's the weakest, averaging −6.0% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
