Performance Food Group Company is currently running 24.0% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against PFGC's own 11 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 39th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 27.4%. 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.

PFGC is trading -21.0% below its running peak. Across 10 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -23.9%, and the deepest was -79.1% in 2020. 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 -4.4% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 19th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year PFGC closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 11 years of records, PFGC finished the month higher 4 of 11 times, with a median return of -3.5% and an average of +0.2%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +6.0% on average, its weakest March at -6.0%. 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: PFGC has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 167 of 2,767 sessions (6.0% of the time), with the largest gaps running +27.0% and -13.9%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 2,768 daily closes between 2015-10-01 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against PFGC's own 11-year history, not a peer group or index.
