Regarding InvestorPlace, stocks go through seasonal cycles, too – and like farmers, you can know down to the very day when the best time is to buy or sell any given stock.
Netflix (NFLX), The popular streaming stock tends to climb dramatically starting in January. That’s the first seasonal window highlighted here in green on our TradeSmith Seasonality chart:
But why is January to April such a great time for NFLX? Maybe it’s the earnings report… although those have been a mixed bag the past few years. Or perhaps Netflix has been releasing hot new shows early in the year.
We can’t always say why, and the why doesn’t necessarily matter. Instead, we can simply recognize that the stock price has risen 19%, on average, between Jan. 16 and April 5 during the past 15 years, and draw our own conclusions about NFLX.
Will it play out the same way in 2025? There are never any guarantees, but it is encouraging to know that this bullish seasonal pattern has a 93.3% track record of success.
