Month by month
The stock's clearest edge over the S&P 500 lands in May (+12.9 pts); it has trailed the market most in April (−11.5 pts).
“vs S&P” is Vitesse Energy Inc’s average for a month minus the S&P 500’s average for that same month — isolating Vitesse Energy Inc’s own seasonal edge from broad market drift.
Reality check
Over the last 3 years, May has closed higher 100% of the time versus 100% across the last 3 years — the pattern is holding.
Figures are the typical (median) May 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
Strip the year back and a single month does the heavy lifting: May, up in all 3 Mays while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+13.6%) and median (+16.2%) 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 May ranges by 10.0% 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: May has cleared the S&P 500 by +12.9 points above the index. That consistency sets it apart from the field, where the average stock manages May only about 55% of the time.
A few other months pull their weight: February, March, and July have also closed higher more often than not. At the other end of the calendar, April has been the soft spot — the weakest of 4 months that average a loss (−9.8%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in April, December, and September. Its roughest month on record was a −17.7% April in 2025 — a reminder of how hard even a seasonal name can fall.
The takeaway is less about when to buy than what to expect: May aside, the stock's months offer little reliable tilt. With a short 3-year record, the signal is best held loosely.
Short answers on the stock's best month (May), its worst (April), and whether it really trades seasonally.
Yes, to a pronounced degree. Since 2023 its best month (May, +13.6%) has run well ahead of its worst (April, −9.8%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
May has been the strongest, averaging +13.6% and closing higher in all 3 years on record since 2023.
It's the weakest, averaging −9.8% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
