Franklin Resources, Inc. is currently running 18.8% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against BEN's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 17th percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 26.8%. 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.

BEN is trading -47.0% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -31.0%, and the deepest was -41.8% 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 +4.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 69th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year BEN closed higher on 55% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, BEN finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +0.0% and an average of +0.4%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +5.5% on average, its weakest September at -3.7%. 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: BEN has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 152 of 3,267 sessions (4.7% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.9% and -9.2%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against BEN's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
