What happened
Reached its target in 19 days.
The thesis — published September 17, 2025
AMD looks like it is healing after a rough patch. We plan to buy in small steps near this price range, and add if signs show lots more people are buying than usual and the trend firms up. Big picture demand from AI and data centers stays strong. Near term, Intel may win some server orders, which is a drag, but a possible Fed rate cut could lift growth stocks. Expect a bumpy 0-3 months with upside if the wider market and new products gain traction.
Primary drivers
- Long-term boost from rising AI and data center spending
- Intel winning some server sales with Granite Rapids is a near-term risk
- Possible Fed rate cut could make investors pay more for growth stocks
- We would add more shares if buying activity clearly picks up
