Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in August (+8.7 pts); it has trailed the market most in November (−8.8 pts).
“vs S&P” is SentinelOne Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating SentinelOne 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 100% across the last 5 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) July return and how often it rose — the last 5 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: July, up in all 5 Julys while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+10.5%) and median (+10.2%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: July has cleared the S&P 500 by +8.4 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: January, August, and October have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: April has been the soft spot — the weakest of 7 months that average a loss (−6.4%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in November, April, and March. Its roughest month on record was a −34.7% November in 2022 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
July has now closed higher 5 years running.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: July 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 (July), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2021 its best month (July, +10.5%) has run well ahead of its worst (April, −6.4%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
July has been the strongest, averaging +10.5% and closing higher in all 5 years on record since 2021.
It's the weakest, averaging −6.4% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
