미국 주식 시장은 10월 말에 선거 불확실성과 엇갈린  기술주 실적으로 인해 위험 심리가 위축되면서 5개월 연속 연승시에서 하락세로 전환되었다. 시장 혼란을 나타내는 주요 척도인 CBOE 변동성 지수(VIX)는 지난달 34% 급등해 선거 연도 10월에 세 번째로 큰 증가세를 기록했다.

Why It's Important: Tesla, regularly among the most searched tickers on the site, climbed the leaderboard to be the most-searched ticker on Benzinga Pro in October. The stock was third in the past two months, but ranked first in July. 
Nvidia ranked second in October, dropping from first place over the last two months. The technology giant briefly passed Apple and Microsoft to be the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41551461/nvidia-overtakes-apple-as-worlds-most-valuable-company-again"> most valuable company in the world.</a>
One of the biggest movers in October was Trump Media &amp; Technology Group, a media company co-founded by former President Donald Trump. The stock has surged in recent weeks ahead of Election Day. Trump's odds of winning the 2024 presidential election have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41635149/2024-election-odds-on-polymarket-kalshi-show-trump-will-win-why-they-might-be-wrong">increased across prediction markets</a> and sports betting apps.
The stock has also been highlighted as a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41630878/djt-short-squeeze-could-push-stock-to-60-if-trump-wins-but-analysis-says-loss-could-make-shares-">short-squeeze stock </a>with high short interest. A 2024 election win by Trump could see the stock shoot higher. Likewise, the stock could fall significantly if Trump loses the election.
Trump Media &amp; Technology Group will likely be among the most searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in November with Election Day happening on Nov. 5. The stock was the 20th most searched ticker in September and wasn't in the top 20 in August or July, ranking just outside the top 20.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust falls to fourth place from second in the past two months, likely due more to the surge in interest in the stocks mentioned above and not less interest in the S&amp;P 500 market index. Although it should be noted that the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF, which tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index, fell from sixth place to 15th in October, potentially signaling less interest in ETFs and market indexes.
Other newcomers to the top 10 were Bright Minds Biosciences, Tevogen Bio and Oklo, who have each not previously been among the top 20 most-searched tickers in any given month. Tevogen shares have fallen significantly in 2024, while Bight Minds Sciences and Oklo are each up over 100% in 2024.
Advanced Micro Devices also returned to the top 10, ranking seventh, which comes after falling out of the top 20 in September. The stock has regularly gone back and forth between the top 10 and top 20 each month in 2024.
Dropping out of the top 10 along with Invesco QQQ were Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHLR#NASDAQ">WHLR</a>), Galmed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLMD#NASDAQ">GLMD</a>), Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>). &nbsp;
Overall the month of October saw five of the same top 10 tickers from September and eight of the top 20 tickers from September.

End Of An Era - AI Propels Nvidia To Replace Struggling Intel In Dow Index

The U.S. stock market experienced a setback at the end of October, breaking a five-month winning streak as election uncertainties and mixed tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">earnings dampened risk sentiment</a>.
A key measure of market turbulence, the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, surged by 34% last month, marking the third-largest increase for an October <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41665265/vix-index-notches-third-strongest-october-spike-in-an-election-year-s-p-500-snaps-5">in an election year.</a>
Tech giants' earnings were underwhelming, except for Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). None of the other &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; companies posted positive weekly performance. As a result, the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) fell nearly 2% for the week. This marks the worst weekly performance in two months.
Among mega-cap companies, the top performers for the week were Charter Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>) and Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>), both rising approximately 9%. Booking also marked the strongest weekly gains since August 2022. 
The main laggards were Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), down 9% and 8%, respectively, for the week. 
On the macroeconomic front, the U.S. economy saw a surprising slowdown in job growth in October, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/41684710/us-economy-adds-only-12-000-jobs-in-october-sharply-misses-estimates-as-hurricane-strikes-pummel-hir">nonfarm payrolls increasing by just 12,000</a>—nearly a four-year low and well below the expected 113,000.
Factors such as hurricanes and strikes likely contributed to the hiring slowdown, while unemployment held relatively steady, indicating no significant rise in layoffs.
The labor market report has strengthened expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Markets are fully pricing in a 25-basis-point cut at Thursday's meeting and assigning an 85% probability to a similar cut at the Fed&#8217;s final meeting of the year in of December.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">State Betting Odds</h3>
As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, state-by-state betting odds reveal a tight race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona showing narrow margins, making them pivotal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/10/41589659/trump-vs-harris-state-by-state-2024-election-betting-odds-which-candidate-is-favored-to-wi">in the final outcome.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gold ETF Surge</h3>

Comparative Study: Advanced Micro Devices And Industry Competitors In Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment Industry

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) shares are trading lower by 14% to $142.44 since Wednesday&#8217;s open after the company reported third-quarter results. The company posted revenue of $6.8 billion, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41612007/amd-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-data-center-up-122-significant-growth-opportunities-ahead-">exceeded analyst expectations</a> of $6.71 billion. Earnings per share aligned with projections at 92 cents.
What To Know: AMD&#8217;s data center segment was the driving force behind the company&#8217;s growth, achieving a 122% increase to $3.5 billion. The company also saw a 29% rise in client segment revenue, totaling $1.9 billion. 
However, gaming revenue experienced a steep decline of 69% to $462 million, and embedded revenue fell 25% to $927 million, though embedded revenue saw an 8% sequential quarterly increase.
CEO Lisa Su attributed AMD's results to high demand for the company's EPYC and Instinct data center products, as well as Ryzen processors in the PC segment. She also projected further growth opportunities across data center, client and embedded business sectors, driven by escalating demand for computing power. 
Looking ahead, AMD forecasts fourth-quarter revenue of $7.5 billion, representing a 22% year-over-year increase at the midpoint. Adjusted gross margins for the fourth-quarter are expected to remain consistent at 54%.

Analyst Reactions: The company's expansion in artificial intelligence (AI) and data center solutions has drawn positive reactions from analysts, who suggest AMD could increasingly challenge its main competitor, NVIDIA, in the AI domain. 
KeyBanc analyst John Vinh <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/24/10/41634850/amd-stock-drops-on-q4-outlook-as-10-analysts-highlight-long-term-ai-growth-opportuni">noted the importance</a> of AMD's MI300 chip, which is projected to generate $5 billion in revenue by 2024. 
Vinh believes that this chip could broaden customer adoption across cloud and AI applications, despite conservative fourth quarter guidance. 
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J. Muse pointed out that AMD's AI progress with the MI300 may eventually generate $12 billion in revenue, supporting potential earnings growth by 2025 or 2026, even though he anticipates a short-term trading range for AMD shares.
Other analysts provided mixed assessments. Oppenheimer&#8217;s Rick Schafer commended AMD's rapid establishment of a competitive AI franchise, projected to surpass $5 billion in annual revenue, though he suggested that investor expectations might be overly ambitious. 
Meanwhile, Piper Sandler's Harsh Kumar highlighted strong GPU execution but acknowledged challenging guidance, noting that while AMD's GPU and server segments are promising, gaming and embedded segments pose risks.

AMD Stock Is Getting Hammered This Week: What's Going On?

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) has a Gaudi problem on its hands – the chipmaker revealed that its AI accelerator won't even make $500 million in 2024, falling short of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41685301/analyst-throws-support-behind-intel-ceo-gelsinger-after-better-than-expected-q3-res">CEO Pat Gelsinger's target</a> of $1 billion to $2 billion.
What Happened: Gelsinger revealed during Intel's third-quarter earnings call that the Gaudi AI accelerator program will fall short of revenue targets due to a transition from second to third generation.
"The overall uptake of Gaudi has been slower than we anticipated as adoption rates were impacted by the product transition from Gaudi 2 to Gaudi 3 and software ease of use," Gelsinger said.
"As a result, we will not achieve our target of 500 million in revenue for Gaudi in 2024. That said, taking a longer term view, we remain encouraged by the market available to us."

This comes at a critical time for Intel – the iconic chipmaker's stock is down nearly 55% in 2024 so far, which has drawn attention from rival Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), which is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968128/qualcomm-reportedly-eyes-potential-takeover-of-intel-amid-60-stock-decline-but-antitrust-concerns-lo">reportedly eyeing a takeover of Intel</a>.
While it is not clear if this will eventually materialize, it points to a weak phase that Intel is going through.
Three of the biggest chip makers – Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Intel, and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) – all have their respective data center business segments which have gained traction in 2023.

While Intel led in 2022, the company's data center revenue started declining in 2023, coinciding with Nvidia's rise. On the other hand, 2022 and 2023 were both lukewarm for AMD, but it started gathering pace in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Here's how Nvidia, Intel, and AMD's data center business has performed since 2022.

Source: Nvidia, Intel, and AMD &#x7C; Nvidia's Q3 2024 results have not been announced yet.
Nvidia Rides AI Boost: Unsurprisingly, Nvidia's stock has also massively benefited from its dominance in AI chips – the Jensen Huang-led company has risen to the top, dethroning Apple on multiple occasions to become the world's most valuable company by market capitalization.
Nvidia's current market capitalization stands at $3.256 trillion, while Intel's is $92.73 billion and AMD's is $233.8 billion.
Gelsinger maintained an optimistic outlook, saying&nbsp;"We remain encouraged by the market available to us. There is a clear need for solutions with superior [total cost of ownership] based on open standards, and we are continuing to enhance the Gaudi value proposition."
For the quarter that just ended, Intel reported $13.28 billion in revenue, beating Street estimates of $13.02 billion.
Price Action: Intel's shares were up 6.8% in premarket trading on Friday at $22.98, according to Benzinga Pro data.
Nvidia's stock was up 1.1% at $134.27, while AMD stock was up 0.6% at $144.99.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

AMD Unveils Next-Gen Ryzen 7 9800X3D Processor With 2nd Gen 3D V-Cache Technology, Promising Enhanced Gaming Performance And Overclocking Capabilities; Delivers Up To 8% Faster Performance Over Prior Gen And 20% Faster Than Competition

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) CEO Lisa Su provided a deeper look into the future of AMD's data center AI business during the company's earnings call on Tuesday and shared her view on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/10/41631842/amd-making-great-progress-with-ai-giants-jim-cramer-says-ai-chip-story-is-not-just-jense">competition in the market.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: AMD reported strong growth in its Data Center segment operating income which more than tripled compared to the prior year and accounted for 52% of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41612007/amd-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-data-center-up-122-significant-growth-opportunities-ahead-"> total revenue</a> in the third quarter.&nbsp;
On the company's post-earnings conference call, Su highlighted partnerships with major AI players Meta, Microsoft, Oracle and others and projected sales to exceed $5 billion for the year. Su attributed the growth to the ramp of AI data center GPU revenue "as MI300X adoption expanded with cloud, OEM, and AI customers."
"Look, we&#8217;ve been extremely pleased with the progress there. I think the market environment has certainly gotten better over the last couple of quarters," Su said.&nbsp;

The CEO also sees room for even more growth in the company's Data Center AI business and the size of the total addressable market (TAM).&nbsp;
"In the Data Center alone, we expect the AI accelerator TAM will grow at more than 60% annually to $500 billion in 2028. To put that in context, this is roughly equivalent to annual sales for the entire semiconductor industry in 2023," Su said. 
The AMD CEO sees the company's roadmap strengthening over time and "closing the gap" with chip giant Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).&nbsp;
"We have, with our accelerated road map, actually closed a good part of that gap. I think MI325 is a great product. It&#8217;s going to compete very well with H200, and the MI350 series will compete very well with Blackwell," Su said on the conference call. 
She highlighted the spectrum of AI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/24/10/41634850/amd-stock-drops-on-q4-outlook-as-10-analysts-highlight-long-term-ai-growth-opportuni">use cases</a> and emphasized that there are "lots of opportunities across the set of AI workloads." Su also pointed to AMD's portfolio advantage from a data center retrofit standpoint because the infrastructure is the same and customers can update easily.&nbsp;
"What I will say is customers are very, very open to AMD. And we see that everywhere we go, everyone is giving us a very fair shot at earning their business, and that&#8217;s what we intend to do," Su said.&nbsp;
AMD Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Advanced Micro Devices shares ended Wednesday's session 10.6% lower at $148.60.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed during the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">third quarter 2024 earnings call</a> that Meta is developing its next-generation AI model, Llama 4, using what he described as an unprecedented computing infrastructure of more than 100,000 NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H100 GPUs.
What Happened: &#8220;We&#8217;re training the Llama 4 models on a cluster that is bigger than 100,000 H100s or bigger than anything that I&#8217;ve seen reported for what others are doing,&#8221; Zuckerberg said during the earnings call. 
The new models are expected to be ready in early 2025, with smaller versions launching first.
Zuckerberg also highlighted how Meta&#8217;s open-source approach to Llama is yielding benefits through chip optimization from major semiconductor manufacturers. &#8220;What we&#8217;re seeing is that as Llama gets adopted more, you&#8217;re seeing folks like NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) optimize their chips more to run Llama specifically well, which clearly benefits us,&#8221; he explained.
The Meta CEO drew parallels to the company&#8217;s previous success with its Open Compute Project, noting that sharing technological designs led to industry standardization and cost savings. This strategy appears to be repeating with Llama, as chip manufacturers optimize their hardware specifically for the AI model.
The upcoming Llama 4 is expected to feature significant improvements over its predecessor, with Zuckerberg indicating it will be &#8220;a big deal on several fronts, new modalities, capabilities, stronger reasoning, and much faster.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The development of Llama 4 is a significant step for Meta Platforms, especially given the company&#8217;s recent strong financial performance. Meta Platforms reported third-quarter revenue of $40.59 billion, beating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">analyst estimates</a> of $40.29 billion. The company also reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $6.03 per share, surpassing analyst estimates of $5.25 per share.
Despite this, Meta Platforms has faced some internal challenges, including the recent firing of approximately two dozen employees, including one earning $400,000 per year, for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41565180/a-400kyear-meta-employee-fired-for-violating-meal-credit-policy-bought-tea-and-toothpaste-calls-it-a">violating the company&#8217;s meal credit rules</a>.
Price Action: Meta stock closed at $591.80, down 0.25% on Wednesday. In after-hours trading, the stock declined further, dropping 3.18%. Year to date, Meta has shown substantial growth, surging by 70.90%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Says Meta's Open-Source Gambit Is Paying Off As Nvidia And AMD Optimize For Llama: 'A Big Deal On Several Fronts'

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made some significant trades, with the most notable ones involving Tesla Inc (TSLA), Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD), and Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR).
The Tesla Trade: Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) sold a total of 62,151 shares of Tesla. Based on Tesla's closing price of $257.55 on Wednesday, the value of this trade is approximately $16 million. 
This move followed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41615718/cathie-woods-sky-high-vision-dumps-shares-of-cybercab-touting-tesla-for-this-evtol-play">Ark&#8217;s recent decision</a> to buy a substantial amount of Archer Aviation Inc (ACHR) shares on both Tuesday and Wednesday while selling shares of the Elon Musk-led company.
ARK Investment Management projects that Tesla&#8217;s driverless ride-hailing service could tap into an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41593922/cathie-woods-ark-invest-sees-tesla-unlocking-11-trillion-revenue-potential-with-rob">$11 trillion revenue market</a>, leveraging low operating costs to undercut current ride-hail prices. Tesla aims to launch this service next year in Texas and California, initially with drivers, and targets fully autonomous rides pending regulatory approval. Even so, the Wood-led firm has been on a Tesla share-selling spree lately.
The AMD Trade: Ark Invest bought a total of 111,080 shares of Advanced Micro Devices across its ARKK, ARKW, ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) and ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>). This move comes in the wake of AMD&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41612007/amd-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-data-center-up-122-significant-growth-opportunities-ahead-">impressive Q3 earnings report</a>, which revealed a year-over-year revenue increase of 18%. The value of this trade, based on AMD&#8217;s closing price of $148.6 on Wednesday, is approximately $16.5 million.
The Palantir Trade: Ark Invest sold a total of 372,730 shares of Palantir Technologies across its ARKK, ARKQ, ARKW, and ARKX ETFs. Despite Palantir&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41554264/palantir-technologies-stock-reaches-new-52-week-high-whats-going-on">recent 52-week high</a> and a strategic partnership with L3Harris Technologies Inc (LHX), Ark decided to reduce its stake. The value of this trade, based on Palantir&#8217;s closing price of $43.69 on Wednesday, is approximately $16.3 million.

KeyBanc on AMD: Data center segment revenue, up 122% year over year, was part of what Vinh called AMD&#8217;s "solid results" in the third quarter.
The analyst said MI300&#8217;s outlook for 2024 to $5 billion was positive, but the company's fourth-quarter guidance came in below expectations.
"While we are disappointed in 4Q guidance, we're encouraged by the strong results in Data Center across MI300 and server CPU," Vinh said.
Vinh said the strong ramp of MI300 shipments could expand customer adoption in the cloud and AI sectors.
Cantor Fitzgerald on AMD: The company's quarterly results were "disappointing" for Muse.
The analyst said the key takeaway was MI300 doing well.
"We have continued to point to $12B as the magic MI300 target to support $6.00 in earnings power," Muse said.
The analyst believes the company will reach the figure, but the question is whether it will happen in 2025 or 2026.
"In the interim, we view shares largely range-bound in the $150-$170 territory until we gain line of sight to this earnings power."
Oppenheimer on AMD: The company's data center and AI segments were positives in the quarter for Schafer.
"Mgmt's built an impressive AI franchise in short order. From nothing 12 months ago, AI is expected to contribute &gt;$5B this year," Schafer said.
The analyst said investor expectations are out of reach and the bar could be too high.
"We expect Street numbers to come down Wednesday and remain sidelined until the path to sustained upside becomes clearer."
Piper Sandler on AMD: The quarterly results show GPU execution but come with disappointing guidance, Kumar said in a new investor note.
"The highlight of the call was that 2024 GPU revenues are expected to be above $5B, which had been the benchmark for investors," Kumar said.
The analyst said AMD's GPUs and client and server businesses could stand out in the future, while gaming and embedded will be headwinds.
"Overall, we continue to believe AMD is executing flawlessly on its GPU roadmap."
Roth MKM on AMD: The company's data center business could have an upside to continue momentum, Desilva said in a new investor note.
"We are encouraged that the company again raised its CY24 AI GPU revenue expectation with a healthy growth outlook into CY25," Desilva said.
The analyst said AI revenue continues to show strength for the company.
Truist on AMD: The stock price could need a modest "reset" after the disappointing fourth-quarter guidance, Stein said in a new investor note.
The analyst said caution should be exercised given AMD's position in AI compared to NVIDIA Corporation and the company's X86 market, which is under pressure from competition.
Morgan Stanley on AMD: A solid quarter from AMD might not be enough to offset a high bar for AI companies, Moore said in a new investor note.
"We still see 2024-25 as investment years for the AI opportunity, and think revenue/earnings expectations are still too high," Moore said.
The analyst said the risk reward for the stock remains balanced over the short term, with the company's AI product roadmap being key going forward.
"We have also highlighted that expectations are even higher, and unless the view is that AMD can take market share in CY25, which we do not forecast, there won't likely be much sequential growth through the year."
Goldman Sachs on AMD: The long-term AI growth opportunity remains for AMD, Hari said in a new investor note.
"We foresee share gains in traditional compute and the company's participation in AI compute driving revenue growth, margin expansion and earnings accretion over the medium to long-run in excess of the industry average," Hari said.
The analyst said they were encouraged by the company's progress in improving hardware and software offerings.
Hari said future data could show that AMD is taking "meaningful share" in the enterprise market.
Northland on AMD: The company could be narrowing the gap with Nvidia, Richard said in a new investor note.
"AMD is #2 in Data Center AI and that is not a bad place to be," Richard said.
The analyst said investors should consider buying the stock on Wednesday's pullback.
Richard said AMD can continue to grow market share in segments like data center over time.
Rosenblatt on AMD: The company showed market share gains in the quarter and should continue to gain share going forward, Mosesmann said in a new investor note.
"At a high level, Lisa Su indicated an increasingly better competitive dynamic compared to the Nvidia H-series and B-series in 2025, as indicated by significant expansion in customer engagement and milestone accomplishments," Mosesmann said.
AMD Price Action: AMD stock is down 9.8% to $149.96 at the time of publication Wednesday, versus a 52-week trading range of $94.07 to $227.30. AMD stock is up 8.5% year-to-date in 2024.

<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock. The chart of AMD stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart shows the momo crowd buying AMD stock yesterday ahead of the earnings release.</li>
<li>The chart shows when earnings were released.</li>
<li>The chart shows the drop in AMD stock after earnings.</li>
<li>The chart shows the proprietary Arora Report VUD indicator changed to orange when earnings were released and continues to be orange today in the premarket.&nbsp; This indicates a net supply of AMD stock.</li>
<li>AMD reported earnings inline with the consensus and provided decent guidance.&nbsp; Why did the stock fall?&nbsp; The reason is that the whisper numbers for AI GPU guidance were approaching $6B.&nbsp; AMD guided above $5B for 2024 – this was inline with consensus.&nbsp; As we have been sharing with you, stocks move based on the difference between reported numbers and whisper numbers.</li>
<li>The reason that AMD was not able to meet the whisper numbers is that even though AMD chips for AI are excellent, AMD does not have the software and the whole system like NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).&nbsp; This limits AMD's market even though AMD is offering cheaper price points compared to Nvidia.&nbsp; AMD has recently bought a systems company in an attempt to catch up to NVDA.&nbsp; However, in The Arora Report analysis, it will take a long time for AMD to catch up with NVDA.&nbsp; Nvidia's CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model.&nbsp; Thousands of developers have been using CUDA to harness the power of AI for years.</li>
<li>Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) reported earnings yesterday after the close.&nbsp; Alphabet earnings show data center growth.&nbsp; Data center growth means AI growth.&nbsp; However, in The Arora Report analysis, there is risk in GOOG stock because Google has over 90% of the search market.&nbsp; It is hard to see Google gaining share from here.&nbsp; Even a drop of a few percentage points will substantially hit earnings.</li>
<li>Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) earnings are ahead after the close.&nbsp; In The Arora Report analysis, stocks will move based not only on the earnings but how well the companies are able to monetize AI.</li>
<li>The Arora Report shared early on that AI was real and a fortune was to be made from AI.&nbsp; We have also been sharing with you that it is important to develop deep knowledge because at times it will be treacherous.&nbsp; We have illustrated the treacherousness of following the momo crowd in AI with the example of Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>).&nbsp; When everyone was bullish and SMCI was trading above $120, The Arora Report call was that SMCI was worth only $44 &#8211; $48 at best.&nbsp; SMCI is falling about 33% to about $32 as of this writing in the premarket on the news that its independent auditor resigned.</li>
<li>Just released GDP data shows that the economy is strong even though the numbers are less than the consensus.&nbsp; GDP is a lagging indicator.&nbsp; The Arora Report system focuses on leading indicators.&nbsp; Here are the details of the GDP data:
<ul>
<li>Q3 GDP-Adv came at 2.8% vs. 3.0% consensus.</li>
<li>Q3 Chain Deflator-Adv came at 1.8% vs. 2.3% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Automatic Data Processing Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADP#NASDAQ">ADP</a>) data indicates a strong jobs picture.&nbsp; ADP is the largest payroll processor in the country and uses its data to give an advanced glimpse of the jobs picture ahead of the official jobs report that will be released on Friday at 8:30am ET.&nbsp; In The Arora Report analysis, if the official jobs report also shows a strong jobs picture, it will decrease the probability that the Fed will cut interest rates at the next meeting.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>ADP employment change came at 223K vs. 105K consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>ADP data is one more data point that has gone against the reason the Fed gave to cut interest rates by 50 bps in September.&nbsp; As we have been writing, almost all of the data has gone against the Fed's reasoning for cutting rates by 50 bps.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In a major setback, Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) missed the earnings consensus.&nbsp; LLY stock has fallen about 10% as of this writing in the premarket.&nbsp; In sympathy, the stock of Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) is also falling.&nbsp; LLY and NVO stocks have been riding high on weight loss drugs.&nbsp; As full disclosure, LLY stock is in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio, long from $318.45.&nbsp; As of this writing, LLY stock is trading at $807.</li>
<li>Jobless claims, personal income and spending, and &nbsp;Fed&#8217;s favorite inflation gauge PCE will all be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET.</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.&nbsp; Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.&nbsp; The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (ASCA:USO).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is range bound.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
