DaVita Inc. is currently running 32.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against DVA's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 74th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 24.6%. 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.

DVA is trading -25.6% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -27.8%, and the deepest was -46.7% in 2022. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +4.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 54th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year DVA closed higher on 53% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, DVA finished the month higher 5 of 13 times, with a median return of -8.5% and an average of -5.2%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +7.0% on average, its weakest October at -5.2%. 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: DVA has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 93 of 3,266 sessions (2.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +8.3% and -7.4%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-10-14 and 2026-10-09, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against DVA's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
