Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in October (+63.0 pts); it has trailed the market most in April (−22.3 pts).
“vs S&P” is Santech Holdings Limited’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Santech Holdings Limited’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 4 years, February has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 5 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) February 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: February, up in all 4 Februaries while the other eleven tend to blur together.
The headline flatters a touch — its +46.7% average sits well above the +21.1% a typical year delivers, the work of a few big Februaries. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even February ranges by 56.8% 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: February has cleared the S&P 500 by +47.0 points above the index. It bucks the broad tape, besides: February lifts just 49% of stocks across the market.
A few other months pull their weight: May, August, and October have also closed higher more often than not. On the other side of the ledger, April has been the soft spot — the weakest of 7 months that average a loss (−20.7%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in April, January, and December. Its roughest month on record was a −73.0% December 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: February aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 5-year record and returns that swing hard year to year, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (February), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2021 its best month (February, +46.7%) has run well ahead of its worst (April, −20.7%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
February has been the strongest, averaging +46.7% and closing higher in all 4 years on record since 2021.
It's the weakest, averaging −20.7% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
