APA Corporation is currently running 40.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against APA's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 46th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 41.7%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
APA is trading -56.7% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -45.4%, and the deepest was -87.9% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.
Price sits +30.9% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 90th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year APA closed higher on 52% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.
On September specifically: over 13 years of records, APA finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +1.0% and an average of +0.7%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +14.8% on average, its weakest October at -2.2%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: APA has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 309 of 3,267 sessions (9.5% of the time), with the largest gaps running +17.0% and -19.4%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
Across the last 3 dated reports on file, APA moved an average of 4.4% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 3 times, with a median move of +3.8% and a largest of +4.9%.
All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-09-18 and 2026-09-16, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against APA's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
