Analog Devices Surges 1.79% on Strong Volume as $0.95 Billion Trading Propels It to 107th in Market Activity Rankings

Analog Devices (ADI) closed 1.79% higher on October 8, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.95 billion, ranking 107th in market activity for the day. The chipmaker's performance followed a strategic focus on analog-to-digital conversion technologies and supply chain optimizations in recent earnings disclosures.

Recent developments highlighted Analog's strengthening position in industrial automation markets, with analysts noting increased demand for precision sensors in energy infrastructure projects. The company's R&D allocation for mixed-signal components saw a 12% year-over-year increase in Q3, aligning with sector trends toward higher-performance electronics in renewable energy systems.

Short-term technical indicators showed sustained buying pressure above key resistance levels, supported by institutional accumulation in the previous three trading sessions. Market participants attributed the momentum to renewed confidence in Analog's 2026 revenue guidance following successful product certifications in automotive safety systems.

To set up an accurate back-test I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Stock universe • All U.S. listed stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX), or a specific universe such as S&P 500 constituents? 2. "Trading volume" definition • Raw share volume, or dollar volume (shares × close price)? 3. Trade timing & prices • Common practice is "buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close" for a 1-day hold. – Is that acceptable, or would you prefer open-to-close (buy tomorrow’s open, sell tomorrow’s close)? 4. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight across the 500 names each day, or weight by volume / market-cap? Once I have these points, I can generate the daily trading signals and run the back-test over 2022-01-01 to today.
