Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in November (+13.7 pts); it has trailed the market most in July (−4.6 pts).
“vs S&P” is Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc. Common Stock’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc. Common Stock’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 3 years, November has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 3 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) November return and how often it rose — the last 3 years versus the last 3(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 3-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
Dependability is the through-line here. November stands out, higher in all 3 Novembers, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
Its average (+16.0%) and median (+15.5%) 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: November 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 November only about 62% of the time.
The strength clusters rather than stands alone — August–December forms a firm stretch that carries much of the year. On the other side of the ledger, July has been the soft spot — the weakest of 3 months that average a loss (−2.4%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in July, April, and June. Its roughest month on record was a −11.1% June in 2025 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: November aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 3-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (November), its worst (July), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2023 its best month (November, +16.0%) has run well ahead of its worst (July, −2.4%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
November has been the strongest, averaging +16.0% and closing higher in all 3 years on record since 2023.
It's the weakest, averaging −2.4% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
