Long-term strategic model.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, eyeQ\u2019s smart machine flashed a bearish signal on <a class=\"chakra-link css-11untlr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ii.co.uk\/shares\/advanced-micro-devices-inc\/NASDAQ:AMD\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD)<\/a> ahead of earnings.\u00a0Late last night those earnings were released and the results were strong. Despite that, the stock fell over 2% in late trading.<\/p>\n<p>Two observations.<\/p>\n<p>One, even with last night\u2019s dip, the fair value gap on eyeQ is still big enough to maintain a bearish stance. Macro conditions suggest that AMD should be trading around $202, so last night\u2019s close of $250 still suggests the risk is skewed to the downside from the macro perspective.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Second, good news but bad price action is often a red flag. When a stock can\u2019t rally with favourable news, it suggests we\u2019ve potentially run out of new buyers and profit-taking is more likely to dominate.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, it was <a class=\"chakra-link css-11untlr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ii.co.uk\/shares\/palantir-technologies-inc-ordinary-shares-class-a\/NASDAQ:PLTR\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Palantir Technologies Inc Ordinary Shares &#8211; Class A (NASDAQ:PLTR)<\/a>\u00a0who produced strong earnings but saw its stock sell off nearly 4%. Yesterday, AMD\u2019s numbers were good but it was a more cautious prediction for future revenues that the market latched on to.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In fact, all the hot themes in this latest equity rally (rare earths, quantum computing, nuclear, etc) have all suffered this week. This suggests that retail buyers are being tested for the first time in a while.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, this will be a dip-buying opportunity. But for those nervous that we\u2019re due our first meaningful correction in a while, AMD looks like a prime candidate for taking some money off the table.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"eyeQ AMD graph\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/AMDgraph.png\"  class=\"chakra-image css-18yjja7\"  data-id=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-small\">Source: eyeQ. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Useful terminology:<\/p>\n<p>Model value<\/p>\n<p>Where our smart machine calculates that any stock market index, single stock or exchange-traded fund (ETF) should be priced (the fair value) given the overall macroeconomic environment.<\/p>\n<p>Model (macro) relevance<\/p>\n<p>How confident we are in the model value. The higher the number the better! Above 65% means the macro environment is critical, so any valuation signals carry strong weight. Below 65%, we deem that something other than macro is driving the price.<\/p>\n<p>Fair Value Gap (FVG)<\/p>\n<p>The difference between our model value (fair value) and where the price currently is. A positive Fair Value Gap means the security is above the model value, which we refer to as \u201crich\u201d. A negative FVG means that it&#8217;s cheap. The bigger the FVG, the bigger the dislocation and therefore a better entry level for trades.<\/p>\n<p>Long Term model<\/p>\n<p>This model looks at share prices over the last 12 months, captures the company\u2019s relationship with growth, inflation, currency shifts, central bank policy etc and calculates our key results &#8211; model value, model relevance, Fair Value Gap.<\/p>\n<p>These third-party research articles are provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/hs.quant-insight.com\/eyeq-investors\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">eyeQ (Quant Insight)<\/a>. interactive investor does not make any representation as to the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of the information provided, nor do we accept any liability for any losses, costs, liabilities or expenses that may arise directly or indirectly from your use of, or reliance on, the information (except where we have acted negligently, fraudulently or in wilful default in relation to the production or distribution of the information).<\/p>\n<p>The value of your investments may go down as well as up.
