Seasonality Insights helps you analyze how stocks and indices have historically performed during different periods of the year. By combining historical return data with seasonal statistics, it allows you to identify recurring patterns, compare performance across years, and discover stocks that have historically performed well during a selected month.
The Top Stocks section highlights stocks that have historically demonstrated strong seasonal performance during the selected month, which you can select based on your preference.
You can filter the list based on different criteria, such as Positive Years %, and choose a stock universe, such as F&O Stocks.
For each stock, Seasonality Insights displays:
For example, if a stock shows a Positive Years % of 100%, it means the stock has delivered positive returns during that month in every year considered by the analysis. If the Average Monthly Return is 9%, it indicates that the stock has historically generated an average gain of 9% during that month.
This section can help you discover stocks that have exhibited relatively consistent seasonal strength over time.
The Seasonality Chart displays historical monthly returns for the selected stock or index across multiple calendar years.
Each row represents a year, while each column represents a month. The colour-coded cells indicate the return generated during that month, making it easy to identify timeframes that have historically delivered positive or negative performance.
At the top of the chart, you'll also find the average monthly return for each month. This provides a quick view of how the instrument has typically performed throughout the year.
For example, if July has generated positive returns in most years and shows a higher average return compared to other months, it may indicate a historically strong period for that instrument.
The chart can help you:
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|---|
| A stock has a high Positive Years % but a low Average Monthly Return | The stock may have delivered gains consistently, but those gains may have been relatively small. |
| A stock has a high Average Monthly Return but a lower Positive Years % | A few strong years may have increased the average return even though the stock was not consistently positive every year. |
