Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings Inc. is currently running 155.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against DNA's own 5 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 99th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 91.5%. 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.

DNA is trading -98.0% below its running peak. Across 4 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -74.7%, and the deepest was -91.9% in 2024. 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 +39.0% 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 DNA closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 6 years of records, DNA finished the month higher 1 of 6 times, with a median return of -8.4% and an average of -4.9%. Its strongest month historically has been September at +25.6% on average, its weakest February at -23.0%. 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: DNA has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 360 of 1,380 sessions (26.1% of the time), with the largest gaps running +15.4% and -9.0%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 1,381 daily closes between 2021-04-19 and 2026-10-15, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against DNA's own 6-year history, not a peer group or index.
