LKQ Corporation is currently running 20.6% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against LKQ's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 31st percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 24.5%. 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.

LKQ is trading -64.0% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -25.1%, and the deepest was -60.9% 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 -20.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 3rd percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year LKQ closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, LKQ finished the month higher 9 of 13 times, with a median return of +3.8% and an average of +1.8%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +3.6% on average, its weakest September at -3.4%. 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: LKQ has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 153 of 3,267 sessions (4.7% of the time), with the largest gaps running +18.5% and -10.8%. 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, LKQ moved an average of 3.5% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -1.0% and a largest of -8.8%.
