AMD's $6.4B Trading Volume Ranks 13th as Shares Climb Near 52-Week High Amid Sector Rally

On September 29, 2025, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) saw a trading volume of $6.42 billion, a 33.09% increase from the prior day, ranking 13th in market activity. Shares rose 1.19%, trading near the top of its 52-week range and above its 200-day moving average. The company reported Q2 2025 earnings of $0.48 per share, below the $0.54 consensus estimate, with revenue reaching $7.69 billion, up 31.7% year-over-year. Analysts project a 36.43% earnings growth for the next fiscal year, driven by a trailing P/E ratio of 59.91.

AMD’s market cap stands at $258.78 billion, with Q2 revenue and net income growing 3.32% and 8.32% quarter-over-quarter, respectively. The firm’s next earnings report is scheduled for November 4, 2025, with revenue guidance set at $8.4 billion–$9.0 billion. Despite missing Q2 EPS estimates, the stock has benefited from broader market optimism, as chipmakers led gains amid expectations of continued Federal Reserve rate cuts.

Recent market dynamics saw energy stocks underperform due to a 3% drop in WTI crude prices, while technology sectors, including AMD, gained traction. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 closed higher, supported by weak labor market data and dovish central bank signals. AMD’s performance aligns with its sector’s resilience, though its earnings shortfall underscores near-term execution risks.

To run this back-test rigorously, define the universe (e.g., S&P 500 constituents), trade execution price (close-to-close or open-to-close), position sizing (equal-weight or otherwise), and transaction cost assumptions. These parameters will determine the retrieval plan for evaluating performance from January 3, 2022, to the present.
