Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in February (+15.4 pts); it has trailed the market most in November (−11.0 pts).
“vs S&P” is Americas Silver Corp’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Americas Silver Corp’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 5 years, December has closed higher 60% of the time versus 70% across the last 10 years — the pattern is weakening.
Figures are the typical (median) December 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
The seasonal story is really one month's story — December. It has closed higher in 7 of 10 Decembers, a concentration the rest of the calendar can't touch.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+7.3%) and median (+9.0%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. No month is steadier: December's returns vary by just 8.9% year to year, and even its worst December in 10 years lost only 7.4% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — December has outpaced the S&P 500 by +6.3 points on average. Few peers keep such company in December — the typical stock clears it just 58% of the time.
Only April comes anywhere near it for reliability. The weaker half of the year is plainer: November has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−8.7%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in November, May, and March. Its roughest month on record was a −36.1% November in 2018 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The pattern has softened of late, December's last five years slipping below its longer-run record.
For a stock this dependable in December, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With returns that swing hard year to year, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (December), its worst (November), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2016 its best month (December, +7.3%) has run well ahead of its worst (November, −8.7%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
December has been the strongest, averaging +7.3% and closing higher in 7 of 10 years since 2016.
It's the weakest, averaging −8.7% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
