O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. is currently running 22.7% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against ORLY's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 63rd percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 20.7%. 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.

ORLY is trading -19.8% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -14.8%, and the deepest was -40.9% 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 -4.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 11th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year ORLY closed higher on 52% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, ORLY finished the month higher 6 of 13 times, with a median return of -0.8% and an average of +1.8%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.5% on average, its weakest May at -0.4%. 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: ORLY has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 71 of 3,266 sessions (2.2% of the time), with the largest gaps running +8.0% and -5.8%. 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, ORLY moved an average of 1.9% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 3 times, with a median move of +0.9% and a largest of +4.6%.

All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-10-14 and 2026-10-09, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against ORLY's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
