FMC Corporation is currently running 66.2% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against FMC's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 95th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 28.2%. 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.

FMC is trading -92.8% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -29.0%, and the deepest was -78.5% in 2025. 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 -25.0% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 14th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year FMC closed higher on 44% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a falling streak.

On September specifically: over 13 years of records, FMC finished the month higher 5 of 13 times, with a median return of -3.0% and an average of -5.3%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.2% on average, its weakest September at -5.3%. 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: FMC has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 175 of 3,266 sessions (5.4% of the time), with the largest gaps running +26.1% and -13.6%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, FMC moved an average of 13.7% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -2.5% and a largest of -19.4%.

All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-09-23 and 2026-09-18, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against FMC's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
