On our Print Record (how the stock traded after each earnings report), it moved 9.1% on average, in either direction, in the three sessions after each of its last ten reports.

Over the past month it ranks 38th of the 86 stocks in our chip section. AMD reported on 3 November; three sessions later, on 6 November, it closed at $449.04, back above the average close of the last 200 sessions ($415.98).
