Sell signals show what the stock did after the AI exited. A negative number means the AI's exit was well-timed.
Buffett-style framework
The AI ETFs are mixed but lean toward trimming: AIUP, LQAI, AMOM, PQUS and AIEQ have recently reduced weights, while BUZZ is gradually accumulating and PQUS and AIEQ made large additions in early October before cutting. The trimming is directionally consistent with a cautious framework read, but the AIs still hold meaningful positions (AIUP and LQAI above 4%), which conflicts with a Too Hard verdict that would not hold the stock at any price.
- Circle of CompetenceAMD sells into fast-moving CPU, GPU and AI accelerator markets where product cycles, hyperscaler customer concentration, and a dominant rival make ten-year unit economics hard to project, so this sits outside a conservative circle of competence.
- Economic Moat
- Management
- Financial Health
- Margin of Safety
The framework declines to score AMD because its earnings depend on competitive outcomes in AI and data-center chips that cannot be forecast with confidence over ten years. The data shown (PER near 164, ROE around 10%, EV/EBITDA above 125) would also leave little margin of safety, but those stages are skipped because the competence screen fails first.
