Dycom Industries Inc. is currently running 32.5% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against DY's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 34th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 39.4%. 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.

DY is trading -49.6% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -31.1%, and the deepest was -71.4% 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 -30.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 4th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year DY closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, DY finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +1.1% and an average of +1.8%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +9.8% on average, its weakest February at -3.8%. 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: DY has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 288 of 3,267 sessions (8.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +16.3% and -15.8%. 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 DY's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
