But a monthly gap is often built on one or two extreme years — the table above shows it: look at the spread, not just the average.

Why does Pinterest stock often rise in June?
June has averaged as its best month over 8 years (+9.0%, up 88% of years). No clearly established recurring seasonal driver explains this month — it's a statistical tendency over 8 years of history, not a prediction.
Is there a best month to invest in the stock market in general?
There's no universal rule: every stock has its own seasonality. For PINS it's June (+9.0% on average over 8 years) — another stock will look completely different. The calendar effects people cite ("sell in May", the year-end rally) are market-wide averages, not laws: on PINS, June is the most consistent month (88% positive years). We also rank all 12 months for the whole market.
Does stock seasonality actually work?
Careful. A month that rose 8 times out of 8 can simply be chance: with 12 months and a dozen years, patterns appear naturally even in random data. Seasonality describes what happened; it doesn't explain why and predicts nothing. Treat it as context, never as a standalone buy signal.
