US lawmakers bought AMD shares weeks before strong Q1 results boosted stock nearly 20%.

Several US House Representatives purchased shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in early 2026, just weeks before the company reported exceptional first-quarter earnings that caused the stock to jump about 17-20%. These purchases, ranging from $1,000 to $100,000, attracted attention due to their timing ahead of AMD's $10.3 billion revenue report, driven by a 57% growth in its data center segment fueled by AI product demand. The trades sparked speculation about possible insider knowledge, though such activity is legal and often based on public information. AMD's CEO highlighted the growing role of AI infrastructure, supporting optimistic long-term growth prospects for the company.
