Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is currently running 49.5% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against AMD's own 12 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 44th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 52.1%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

AMD is trading -7.7% below its running peak. Across 11 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -37.0%, and the deepest was -63.1% in 2022. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +54.1% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 83rd percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year AMD closed higher on 53% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 12 years of records, AMD finished the month higher 5 of 12 times, with a median return of -3.7% and an average of +2.3%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +14.1% on average, its weakest February at -1.2%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: AMD has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 164 of 2,962 sessions (5.5% of the time), with the largest gaps running +8.7% and -5.8%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, AMD moved an average of 3.4% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 3 times, with a median move of +0.3% and a largest of -8.2%.

All figures computed from 2,963 daily closes between 2015-01-02 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against AMD's own 12-year history, not a peer group or index.
