Baxter International Inc. is currently running 23.5% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against BAX's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 56th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 22.2%. 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.

BAX is trading -73.6% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -22.0%, and the deepest was -52.1% in 2025. 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 +18.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 97th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year BAX closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 5 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, BAX finished the month higher 4 of 14 times, with a median return of -2.5% and an average of -4.1%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +2.3% on average, its weakest October at -4.1%. 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: BAX has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 93 of 3,268 sessions (2.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +5.4% and -5.6%. 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, BAX moved an average of 2.0% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -0.4% and a largest of +4.5%.
