Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in October (+41.0 pts); it has trailed the market most in February (−19.8 pts).
“vs S&P” is Reddit, Inc.’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Reddit, Inc.’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Not enough recent October history to say whether the pattern still holds.
Figures are the typical (median) October return and how often it rose — the last 2 years versus the last 2(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 2-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 October is the anchor — it has closed higher in all 2 Octobers, the steadiest beat on its year.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+42.0%) and median (+42.0%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even October ranges by 38.9% 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 — October has outpaced the S&P 500 by +41.0 points on average. Few peers keep such company in October — the typical stock clears it just 53% of the time.
October anchors a run, too: the August-through-January window has been the stock's reliable season. The weaker half of the year is plainer: February has been the soft spot — the weakest of 2 months that average a loss (−20.0%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in February and July. Its roughest month on record was a −35.4% March in 2025 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
For a stock this dependable in October, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 2-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (October), its worst (February), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2024 its best month (October, +42.0%) has run well ahead of its worst (February, −20.0%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
October has been the strongest, averaging +42.0% and closing higher in all 2 years on record since 2024.
It's the weakest, averaging −20.0% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
