Reality check
Not enough recent May history to say whether the pattern still holds.
Figures are the typical (median) May return and how often it rose — the last 1 years versus the last 2(the heatmap’s default window). This verdict stays anchored to that 2-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 1 Mays while the other eleven tend to blur together.
Its average (+50.5%) and median (+50.5%) land within a hair of each other — the tell of steady, year-after-year gains rather than one outlier doing the work. It is also the calendar's calmest month, its returns swinging least from year to year (a 0.0% spread), and even its worst May in 2 years lost only 50.5% — the gentlest downside anywhere on its calendar. Crucially, the gain is the stock's own rather than a rising tide's: May has cleared the S&P 500 by +49.7 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: January, February, and July have also closed higher more often than not. The weaker half of the year is plainer: April has been the soft spot — the weakest of 6 months that average a loss (−53.4%), and the edge isn't year-round — the stock has trailed the S&P 500 in April, March, and June. Its roughest month on record was a −53.4% 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 2-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 2024 its best month (May, +50.5%) has run well ahead of its worst (April, −53.4%) — the heatmap above shows how steady that gap has been year to year.
May has been the strongest, averaging +50.5% and closing higher in its one year on record since 2024.
It's the weakest, averaging −53.4% — historically a soft spot, though it still varies from year to year.
