SiteOne Stock: The Perfect Summer Buy?

SiteOne Stock: The Perfect Summer Buy?
  • PublishedJuly 29, 2022

Is SiteOne stock a long-term hold or just a summer buy and sell? American author Jenny Han famously said, “everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.”

And although some pretty amazing events have happened during the other nine months of the year, there’s no denying summer is pretty awesome.

SiteOne Stock is Heating Up

The investing calendar is traditionally very cyclical. Certain businesses do better during the colder holiday season, whereas others excel in warmer months. SiteOne stock has historically spiked during the start of each summer.

In fact, looking back at the SiteOne Landscape Supply Inc (NYSE: SITE) stock history, you can see how well it has performed in the long run. The spikes in share price typically start near the end of June and continue into the fall months.
