The AMD Trade

On Wednesday, ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF ARKQ and ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF ARKX purchased a total of 3,000 shares of AMD, valued at approximately $513,060 based on the closing price of $171.02 on the day of the trade. This move comes in the wake of a KeyBanc analyst’s mixed quarterly supply chain findings for the semiconductor sector, with AMD standing out in the pack.

The analyst noted sustained strength in traditional server and AI, with AMD’s competitor, Blackwell from Nvidia Corp NVDA, set to launch in the fourth quarter without further delays.

Nvidia, despite concerns over AI spending, has continued to defy expectations and approached Apple’s market capitalization.

Recently, AMD CEO Lisa Su highlighted the potential shift toward custom AI chips offering greater efficiency and lower costs, hinting at competition with Nvidia. While Nvidia remains dominant with GPUs for AI and gaming, Su emphasized the future will involve diverse chip architectures, with AMD focusing on mainstream GPUs and data center growth.
