What should I invest

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $20B

   • Purpose: Focus on large, established semiconductor companies comparable in scale to AMD.
   • Rationale: Your question is about investment opportunities/strategies for AMD. A natural way to frame that is to (a) understand AMD’s “peer group” and (b) see how similar large, mature players in its industry are positioned. A $20B+ market cap filter screens out small and mid-cap names whose risk/return and volatility profiles are quite different from AMD’s.

2. Price Above 20-Day Moving Average (PriceAboveMA20)

   • Purpose: Capture stocks with short-term positive price momentum.
   • Rationale: When thinking about strategies around AMD, it’s useful to see how technically strong peers are behaving. Price above the 20-day MA suggests the stock is in a short-term uptrend or at least not in a near-term downtrend. This supports momentum-based or trend-following strategies and helps you compare whether AMD’s short-term technical strength is aligned with or diverging from peers.

3. Price Above 200-Day Moving Average (PriceAboveMA200)

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks are in a longer-term uptrend or, at minimum, not in a long-term bearish phase.
   • Rationale: Since you’re asking about “investment opportunities or strategies” (which typically implies more than just a day-trade), a longer-term technical filter is relevant. Price above the 200-day MA indicates more durable strength and can help identify whether AMD’s long-term trend and its peers’ trends are supportive of buy-and-hold or accumulation strategies rather than purely tactical trades.

4. RSI Category: Moderate

   • Purpose: Avoid stocks that are extremely overbought or oversold.
   • Rationale: A “moderate” RSI (typically neither <30 nor >70) focuses on stocks not at emotional extremes. This is helpful when considering rational entry strategies: you avoid chasing euphoric spikes (high RSI) or catching falling knives (very low RSI). Comparing AMD’s RSI to similarly “balanced” peers provides context on whether AMD is relatively stretched or fairly positioned.

5. Industry: Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment

   • Purpose: Restrict results to AMD’s direct industry peers.
   • Rationale: Your question is AMD-specific, but investment strategy often benefits from industry comparison:
     • How do other major chipmakers with similar profiles look technically and fundamentally?
     • Are there alternative or complementary plays in the same secular growth theme (AI, data center, high-performance computing) that might fit a portfolio with AMD?
       Keeping the search inside AMD’s industry keeps the results tightly relevant to the competitive and cyclical dynamics that drive AMD.

6. Exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE (Major U.S. Exchanges)

   • Purpose: Focus on U.S.-listed, highly liquid, well-regulated names.
   • Rationale: AMD trades on NASDAQ (XNAS). Limiting to major U.S. exchanges ensures the peers have similar regulatory, liquidity, and accessibility characteristics. This is important when comparing trading strategies (options liquidity, bid/ask spreads, institutional participation) and when thinking about substituting or complementing AMD with other holdings.

7. Revenue 5-Year CAGR ≥ 10%

   • Purpose: Select companies with strong, sustained top-line growth.
   • Rationale: AMD is a growth-oriented semiconductor company. When you ask about investment opportunities or strategies, it makes sense to look at peers that also have solid, consistent revenue expansion. This filter focuses on companies that, like AMD, are likely benefiting from secular growth drivers (AI, cloud, automotive, etc.), rather than mature, slow-growth or declining chip businesses. It also supports growth-investing or GARP (growth at a reasonable price) strategies around AMD.

8. One-Month Predicted Return ≥ 0

   • Purpose: Bias the results toward names where a quantitative model is not signaling near-term downside.
   • Rationale: While no model can guarantee returns, screening for non-negative expected one-month return attempts to avoid names where forward-looking factors point to likely short-term weakness. For someone considering entry timing or tactical positioning around AMD, this is a way to align with a more favorable near-term outlook and compare AMD’s model-based expectations to peers.

Why Results Match Your AMD-Focused Question

• The filters build a peer set of large, growth-oriented semiconductor stocks that are technically and fundamentally similar to AMD, making the comparison directly relevant to any strategy you might use for AMD (momentum, trend-following, growth investing, or sector rotation).
• The combination of industry focus, growth (revenue CAGR), and trend filters (MA20, MA200, moderate RSI) aligns with evaluating AMD as a growth stock in an uptrend and identifying other names where similar strategies and timing logic may apply.
