Iamgold Corporation is currently running 38.2% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against IAG's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 12th percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 54.8%. 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.

IAG is trading -23.9% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -44.1%, and the deepest was -73.5% 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 +2.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 48th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year IAG closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, IAG finished the month higher 8 of 13 times, with a median return of +3.4% and an average of +3.7%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +5.5% on average, its weakest September at -2.4%. 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: IAG has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 655 of 3,266 sessions (20.1% of the time), with the largest gaps running +16.1% and -10.5%. 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 IAG's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
