See Which Of The Latest 13F Filers Holds AMD

At Holdings Channel, we have reviewed the latest batch of the 40 most recent 13F filings for the 06/30/2024 reporting period, and noticed that Advanced Micro Devices Inc (Symbol: AMD) was held by 18 of these funds. When hedge fund managers appear to be thinking alike, we find it is a good idea to take a closer look.

Before we proceed, it is important to point out that 13F filings do not tell the whole story, because these funds are only required to disclose their long positions with the SEC, but are not required to disclose their short positions. A fund making a bearish bet against a stock by shorting calls, for example, might also be long some amount of stock as they trade around their overall bearish position. This long component could show up in a 13F filing and everyone might assume the fund is bullish, but this tells only part of the story because the bearish/short side of the position is not seen.

Having given that caveat, we believe that looking at groups of 13F filings can be revealing, especially when comparing one holding period to another. Below, let’s take a look at the change in AMD positions, for this latest batch of 13F filers:

Despite beating estimates, investors fixated on Alphabet's capital expenditure, sparking apprehensions of perpetually rising expenditures in AI without a clear payoff timeline. Speculations loomed after Alphabet's management hinted at underinvestment posing a greater risk. The hesitancy surrounding AI investments was further compounded by a surge in search growth not entirely attributed to AI.

Noteworthy participants like McDonald’s, Proctor & Gamble, and Pfizer will take center stage.

Charting the Course Amidst Uncertainties

Interpreting historical trends, the Q2 revenue beats percentages unearthed a new low of 57.5% over the past 20 quarters. Earnings and revenue growth for the specified 207 companies are presented within a historical context.

Embracing Change and Navigating Challenges

We then compared that number to the sum total of AMD shares those same funds held back at the 03/31/2024 period, to see how the aggregate share count held by hedge funds has moved for AMD. We found that between these two periods, funds increased their holdings by 2,494,155 shares in the aggregate, from 27,719,337 up to 30,213,492 for a share count increase of approximately 9.00%.
