AMD announced a strategic partnership with Core Scientific to secure up to 2.5 gigawatts of data center capacity for deploying its AI accelerators and processors, though the stock fell amid a broader semiconductor sector selloff.
verdict REPRICING, direction bullish -> long AMD (partnership: AMD announced a strategic partnership with Core Scientific to secure up to 2.5 gigawatts of data center capacity for deploying its AI accelerators and processors, though the stock fell amid a broader semiconductor sector selloff.)
overnight drift: long AMD at close, exit next close (partnership: AMD announced a strategic partnership with Core Scientific to secure up to 2.5 gigawatts of data center capacity for deploying its AI accelerators and processors, though the stock fell amid a broader semiconductor sector selloff.) [skipped at close: stale at close-fill — wanted long, verdict now PRICED (-4.98% since close, 74m after decision), order not placed]
Signal (dominant factor): wrong. The bullish repricing thesis failed — despite the partnership news, AMD continued falling from 446.5 to 431.68 (-3.3%), with sector selloff pressure (already flagged in the rationale) overwhelming the catalyst. Timing: the stock was down 1.84% at decision time, but the data doesn't show whether a bullish repricing had already occurred beforehand — if anything, the anticipated up-move never materialized, so this isn't a case of chasing a completed move. Exit: the trade closed essentially at the worst unrealized level (-3.30% worst vs. -3.32% realized), meaning the position rode the entire drawdown and gave back the small +1.37% that was briefly available — but with a wrong-direction signal, the exit only compounded the loss rather than caused it.

S1 primary — trades the alert's primary ticker in the direction the article itself indicates; exits at the same day's close.
S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.

Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 60.
