Does ITA have a seasonal pattern?

TickerStance computes ITA's month-by-month seasonality from its full daily price history: the average and median return for each calendar month, how often that month closed higher, and the best and worst months on record. These are historical frequencies, not forecasts — a strong seasonal month describes what ITA has tended to do in prior years, not a prediction of what comes next.

When did ITA last report earnings?
