Wall Street says AI chip demand is sky-high — ride the momentum on AMD and ARM
Created
Thesis
UBS highlighted that the biggest tech companies are buying up massive amounts of CPUs to run their AI models, naming AMD and ARM as the top beneficiaries. Since the overall chip sector recently took a breather, this fresh wave of demand could push these specific stocks higher as investors reposition. Buying on a dip or as they break out gives you a chance to ride that momentum. It's a classic 'follow the money' play—when the big cloud companies spend billions on hardware, the chipmakers' earnings usually follow suit.
Strategy approach
Build a long-only momentum strategy on AMD using the daily timeframe. Enter when price closes above the 20-day SMA and the 14-day RSI is between 50 and 70. Exit if price closes below the 20-day SMA. Use a 10% trailing stop and a 30-day maximum holding period.
