Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in November (+19.5 pts); it has trailed the market most in May (−32.0 pts).
“vs S&P” is Vestis Corporation’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Vestis Corporation’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 3 years, November has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 3 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) November return and how often it rose — the last 3 years versus the last 3(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 3-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 — November. It has closed higher in all 3 Novembers, a concentration the rest of the calendar can't touch.
The strength looks broad-based rather than freakish: its average (+21.8%) and median (+20.0%) sit close together, so no single blow-out year is flattering the figure. Better still, that strength is the stock's own and not just a buoyant market — November has outpaced the S&P 500 by +19.5 points on average. Few peers keep such company in November — the typical stock clears it just 62% of the time.
Only September comes anywhere near it for reliability. The weaker half of the year is plainer: May has been the soft spot — the weakest of 8 months that average a loss (−31.2%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in May, February, and April. Its roughest month on record was a −33.3% May in 2024 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
For a stock this dependable in November, the sharper question is the rest of the year — outside its strong stretch, the calendar gives far less to lean on. With a short 3-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (November), its worst (May), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2023 its best month (November, +21.8%) has run well ahead of its worst (May, −31.2%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
November has been the strongest, averaging +21.8% and closing higher in all 3 years on record since 2023.
It's the weakest, averaging −31.2% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
