AMD extends rally as TSMC earnings and OpenAI partnership fuel AI optimism

AMD continues its strong week following TSMC's blowout Q4 earnings that validated AI infrastructure demand, with CNBC and Benzinga reporting the chipmaker raised its 2026 capex forecast significantly. Seeking Alpha highlighted AMD's OpenAI partnership as a key demand catalyst, while Wells Fargo named AMD its top pick for 2026.

Analysis

This marks the fifth consecutive day of gains for AMD, extending a rally that began with KeyBanc's upgrade earlier in the week. The move aligns closely with the broader semiconductor sector's performance, suggesting TSMC's results are lifting all AI-exposed chip stocks rather than AMD-specific news driving today's action. Normal volume (0.9x) indicates orderly continuation rather than fresh institutional accumulation.
