AMD is set to report earnings with expectations of volatility, as its stock has historically moved about 16.5% post-earnings. Despite solid earnings growth across the tech hardware sector, market reaction has been negative, with many stocks falling sharply since July. This reflects a shift of capital away from tech hardware to defensive sectors. Traders are considering bearish options strategies, like a calendar put spread, to profit from potential post-earnings price declines and volatility drops.
