CTC 13F: New $89M Stake in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

CTC recently revealed a significant new investment in Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD). According to its latest 13F filing with the SEC for the period ending May 21, 2026, the fund opened a new position in the semiconductor giant by purchasing 158,061 shares. This new stake was valued at roughly $89.29 million at the time of the report.

Growth in Institutional Interest

This move by CTC comes as other major institutional players have been adjusting their own exposure to the chipmaker. Earlier in October, First Citizens Bank & Trust reported that it boosted its holdings in AMD by more than 207%. Not everyone is adding, however; Kmg Fiduciary Partners recently pared its position by 11.9%, though it still holds 46,460 shares worth about $28.4 million. Earlier in the year, Epoch Investment Partners also showed strong interest by adding 84,577 shares to its portfolio. These shifts highlight a period of active rebalancing among large funds as the semiconductor sector continues to evolve.

Stock Performance and Valuation

On Friday, shares of Advanced Micro Devices were trading at $564.89. The stock has seen a wide range over the past year, climbing from a low of $188.22 to a high of $658.52. Currently, the price sits comfortably above its 200-day moving average of $392.68, suggesting a sustained period of upward momentum. With a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 143.4, the market is pricing in high expectations for future growth, though the forward P/E ratio is a more modest 35.7.

Recent Earnings and Growth

In its most recent financial reporting, Advanced Micro Devices showed revenue of $41.31 billion, representing a 50.1% growth rate. The company reported earnings per share of $3.92 and maintains a net margin of 15.6%. Looking ahead, the company is scheduled to report its next batch of financial results on November 3, 2026. This upcoming report will be a key moment for investors to see if the company can maintain its rapid revenue expansion.

Analysts Set New Price Targets

Wall Street analysts have been busy updating their projections for AMD throughout the fall. On October 6, 2026, Citigroup kept its Buy rating and lifted its price target to $800.00. That same day, Mizuho maintained an Outperform rating and raised its target to $705.00. Earlier, on September 25, 2026, B of A Securities maintained its own Buy rating while raising its target to $720.00. On August 25, 2026, Raymond James upgraded the stock to a Strong Buy with a $641.00 target. Across 50 analysts, the consensus remains a Strong Buy with an average price target of $636.21.

Semiconductor Market Leadership

Advanced Micro Devices is a central player in the global technology landscape, designing the processors and graphics chips that power everything from high-end gaming PCs to massive data centers. Under the leadership of CEO Dr. Lisa Su, the company has increasingly focused on artificial intelligence accelerators and server microprocessors. This focus on AI infrastructure is a primary reason why many institutional funds are keeping a close eye on the stock as it competes for market share in the evolving data center space.

Looking Forward

While the filing from CTC shows a clear interest in the company, it is worth noting that 13F reports are backward-looking and only show what a fund held at the end of the reporting period. Investors will be watching the November earnings call to see if the company's fundamentals continue to support its current valuation. Further filings from institutional peers in the coming months will clarify whether the broader trend of adding to AMD positions remains in place.
