How it trades on rate days beta 0.82 to TLT · on the worst bond days it moved with the market

How it trades on rate days

How AMD has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.82 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Advanced Micro Devices Inc moved 0.82% on average · correlation 0.11 · higher than 78% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 1.15 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.60% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +2.38% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Advanced Micro Devices Inc

AMD in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
AMD designs processors for data centres, PCs, games consoles and embedded systems: EPYC server CPUs, Instinct accelerators for AI training and inference, Ryzen CPUs for PCs, Radeon graphics, and the adaptive chips and FPGAs it added with Xilinx. It reports four segments — Data Center, Client, Gaming and Embedded — and, like Nvidia, is fabless: it designs the chips and relies on TSMC and the packaging houses to make them. It is based in Santa Clara, California.
Where it sits in the stack
In Rubin, AMD sits in Layer 1, Architects (Chip Design), beside Nvidia — the second merchant-silicon design house that defines what the foundries, packagers and memory makers below it have to deliver. It is the name the market buys when it wants the accelerator trade at a different price from Nvidia’s.
Who it is priced against
It is priced against Nvidia first and Intel second, then Broadcom and Marvell on the custom-silicon side; on the day the chip sort reprices, AMD is usually the design name that moves most.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
It is a Rubin constituent and a Nasdaq-100 name with a Closelooknet company score; the dailies use it as the read on whether the design side of the chip trade is being bought or sold.
What the diary watches
Whether Instinct accelerator revenue converts from announced customer wins into shipped volume, and whether server CPU share keeps rising while the PC cycle stays soft.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology, and sits in Layer 1 of the build-out stack. Constituent of Rubin Build-Out 100.

The Closelooknet company score reads 65/100 composite (momentum 95, quality 54, valuation 20) across 7 modules — the full breakdown, chart structure and analog history load live above.
