Reality check
Not enough recent January history to say whether the pattern still holds.
Figures are the typical (median) January return and how often it rose — the last 1 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
The seasonal story is really one month's story — January. It has closed higher in all 1 Januaries, a concentration the rest of the calendar can't touch.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+67.6%) and median (+67.6%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. No month is steadier: January's returns vary by just 0.0% year to year, and even its worst January in 2 years lost only 67.6% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — January has outpaced the S&P 500 by +67.8 points on average. Few peers keep such company in January — the typical stock clears it just 53% of the time.
It doesn't stand entirely alone — April, May, and August have leaned firm as well, if less emphatically. At the other end of the calendar, December has been the soft spot — the weakest of 5 months that average a loss (−33.3%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in December, February, and October. Its roughest month on record was a −46.4% December in 2024 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
For a stock this dependable in January, 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 (January), its worst (December), and whether it really trades seasonally.
