Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in March (+5.5 pts); it has trailed the market most in June (−3.9 pts).
“vs S&P” is Torm PLC Class A’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Torm PLC Class A’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, April has closed higher 80% of the time versus 88% across the last 8 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) April 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
Dependability is the through-line here. April stands out, higher in 7 of 8 Aprils, but it heads a clutch of months that pull the year reliably upward.
Its average (+5.0%) and median (+5.1%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. It is among its calmest months, too, its returns swinging least from year to year (a 5.4% spread), and even its worst April in 8 years lost only 3.9% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: April has cleared the S&P 500 by +3.4 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages April only about 55% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: March, July, and August have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: January has been the soft spot — the weakest of 2 months that average a loss (−3.6%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in June, January, and December. Its roughest month on record was a −19.9% October in 2024 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, April's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: April aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 8-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (April), its worst (January), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2018 its best month (April, +5.0%) has run well ahead of its worst (January, −3.6%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
April has been the strongest, averaging +5.0% and closing higher in 7 of 8 years since 2018.
It's the weakest, averaging −3.6% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
