DraftKings Inc. Class A is currently running 51.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against DKNG's own 7 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 44th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 54.2%. 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.

DKNG is trading -72.7% below its running peak. Across 6 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -47.6%, and the deepest was -63.8% in 2021. 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 -21.5% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 20th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year DKNG closed higher on 48% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 8 years of records, DKNG finished the month higher 3 of 8 times, with a median return of -5.1% and an average of -8.5%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +11.3% on average, its weakest March at -11.0%. 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: DKNG has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 110 of 1,759 sessions (6.3% of the time), with the largest gaps running +12.1% and -12.1%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 1,760 daily closes between 2019-07-25 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against DKNG's own 7-year history, not a peer group or index.
