A Bottom-25 call “worked” when its median pick did worse than the median stock.
Medians, not averages: one big gainer among 25 drags the average up and would hide how often the list
really lagged.

A Bottom-25 call “worked” when its median pick did worse than the median stock.
Medians, not averages: one big gainer among 25 drags the average up and would hide how often the list
really lagged.

🧭 Methodology
Returns are close-to-close over calendar months and quarters, from adjusted daily prices since 2004. A period counts only when the immediately preceding period also traded.
Ranking: for each period we rank every NSE stock with at least 10 years of history by the consistency of its positive returns — a Wilson lower-bound score on the win rate, so a 17-of-18 record outranks a 10-of-10 one — with average return as tie-break. Stocks must be actively traded to enter the current list.
Bottom 25 is the mirror image: stocks whose average return for the period is negative, ranked by a Wilson lower-bound score on how often they fell (a flat month counts as neither), with the more negative average as tie-break. Its track record compares the median pick with the median stock — a Bottom-25 list “worked” when its median pick lagged.
Walk-forward honesty: the Top 25 shown for any past period was computed using only the years before it — exactly what you could have known entering that period. The “How past Top-25 lists actually did” table is therefore a genuine out-of-sample track record, benchmarked against the median stock in the universe and the Nifty 50.
❓ Seasonality — FAQ
What is stock seasonality?
Seasonality is the tendency of a stock (or the whole market) to perform in a repeating calendar pattern — for example, a stock that has closed July higher in 15 of the last 18 years. It is measured from historical monthly or quarterly returns.
Which stocks are seasonally strong in October?
Our Top-25 list for October is led by Muthoot Finance Limited, Pokarna Limited, Styrenix Performance Materials Limited — each positive in at least 82% of past Octobers.
Which stocks historically fall in October?
Our Bottom-25 list for October is led by Olectra Greentech Limited, Entertainment Network (India) Limited, ANDHRA PAPER LIMITED — each lower in at least 77% of past Octobers. It is ranked the same walk-forward way as the Top 25, on the consistency of negative October returns.
How are the Top 25 seasonal picks selected?
Every NSE stock with at least 10 years of history for the period is ranked by the consistency of its positive returns (a Wilson lower-bound score on the win rate, with average return as tie-break). The Bottom 25 mirror this: stocks with a negative average for the period, ranked by the consistency of their falls. The ranking for a period only uses history BEFORE it — so the past-performance tables are a true walk-forward record, not hindsight.
Does seasonality guarantee returns?
No — it is a historical tendency that can break at any time. Treat it as a research filter, not investment advice.
Disclaimer: seasonality is a historical tendency, not a prediction. These lists are auto-generated research information, not investment advice or recommendations. Markets can and do break seasonal patterns. Do your own research and consult a SEBI-registered adviser before investing.
