Monster Beverage Corporation is currently running 22.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against MNST's own 11 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 51st percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 22.8%. 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.

MNST is trading -13.5% below its running peak. Across 10 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -22.7%, and the deepest was -30.4% in 2018. 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 +1.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 39th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year MNST closed higher on 52% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 12 years of records, MNST finished the month higher 6 of 12 times, with a median return of -0.2% and an average of -0.6%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +6.8% on average, its weakest September at -1.7%. 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: MNST has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 82 of 2,849 sessions (2.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +9.5% and -8.4%. 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, MNST moved an average of 3.2% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -0.1% and a largest of +5.1%.

All figures computed from 2,850 daily closes between 2015-06-16 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against MNST's own 11-year history, not a peer group or index.
