Market watchers align the "W stock price forecast" with seasonal retail spending trends, noting that Q3 historically delivers above-average performance due to promotional campaigns and holiday-driven demand. The math is straightforward: The percent increase in the CPI-W during the third quarter (July to September) of the current year becomes the COLA in the next year. For example, the CPI-W increased 2.5% in the third quarter of 2024, so Social Security benefits received a 2.5% COLA in 2025. 14. Dai H, Wang W, Cao J, Wu H.
