RPM International Inc. is currently running 21.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against RPM's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 53rd percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 20.9%. 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.

RPM is trading -30.2% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -18.7%, and the deepest was -38.6% 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 -7.4% 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 RPM closed higher on 46% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, RPM finished the month higher 9 of 14 times, with a median return of +2.2% and an average of +1.7%. Its strongest month historically has been July at +5.0% on average, its weakest January at -3.7%. 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: RPM has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 112 of 3,268 sessions (3.4% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.0% and -9.7%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against RPM's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
