Reality check
Over the last 5 years, July has closed higher 100% of the time versus 90% across the last 10 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) July 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
This is a stock you can almost set a calendar by, and July is the anchor — it has closed higher in 9 of 10 Julys, the steadiest beat on its year.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+4.9%) and median (+5.6%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. No month is steadier: July's returns vary by just 4.2% year to year, and even its worst July in 10 years lost only 3.3% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — July has outpaced the S&P 500 by +2.8 points on average. Few peers keep such company in July — the typical stock clears it just 61% of the time.
July anchors a run, too: the March-through-July window has been the stock's reliable season. On the other side of the ledger, December has been the soft spot — the weakest of 3 months that average a loss (−6.0%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in December, October, and September. Its roughest month on record was a −17.9% November in 2025 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
July has now closed higher 7 years running. Reassuringly, the tendency has held its shape: the recent five years still track the years behind them.
For a stock this dependable in July, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on.
Short answers on the stock's best month (July), its worst (December), and whether it really trades seasonally.
