Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in November (+12.8 pts); it has trailed the market most in September (−3.8 pts).
“vs S&P” is Titan Machinery Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Titan Machinery Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, November has closed higher 80% of the time versus 80% across the last 10 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) November return and how often it rose — the last 5 years versus the last 10(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 10-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: November, up in 8 of 10 Novembers while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+15.1%) and median (+16.1%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. That reliability comes with real swings, mind — even November ranges by 18.7% 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: November has cleared the S&P 500 by +12.8 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages November only about 62% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: March and June have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: September has been the soft spot — the weakest of 5 months that average a loss (−3.9%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in September, March, and April. Its roughest month on record was a −33.8% March in 2023 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, November's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: November aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With returns that swing hard year to year, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (November), its worst (September), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2016 its best month (November, +15.1%) has run well ahead of its worst (September, −3.9%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
November has been the strongest, averaging +15.1% and closing higher in 8 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −3.9% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
