Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in December (+19.3 pts); it has trailed the market most in February (−9.3 pts).
“vs S&P” is Sol Gel Technologies Ltd’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Sol Gel Technologies Ltd’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, November has closed higher 60% of the time versus 63% across the last 8 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) November return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 8(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 8-year window even if you zoom the chart, so it never disagrees with the badges above.
In plain English
There's a real but measured seasonal tilt here, toward November — the firmest corner of the calendar, higher in 5 of 8 Novembers.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+2.3%) and median (+2.0%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. Few months are steadier: November's returns vary by just 10.8% year to year. Set against the S&P 500, mind, November is close to a wash — the gain mirrors the market more than it beats it. Some of that is a strong month market-wide, mind — November rises for about 62% of stocks — so the tendency is real if not unique.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — June and September have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. On the other side of the ledger, February has been the soft spot — the weakest of 5 months that average a loss (−9.5%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in February, March, and October. Its roughest month on record was a −50.6% July in 2024 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
Reassuringly, the tendency has held its shape: the recent five years still track the years behind them.
Treat it as a tendency rather than a rule — seasonality describes the past, not a promise. With a short 8-year record and returns that swing hard year to year, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (November), its worst (February), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2018 its best month (November, +2.3%) has run well ahead of its worst (February, −9.5%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
November has been the strongest, averaging +2.3% and closing higher in 5 of 8 years since 2018.
It's the weakest, averaging −9.5% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
