AMD — factor decomposition (Technology)

How much of AMD's move over the window is systematic (market, XLK sector-excess, rate-excess via TLT) vs. idiosyncratic (stock-specific).

R² is 0.53 — a reasonably reliable fit; the betas and the split below are worth reading at face value.

Of AMD's +119.7pp move over this window, +57.1pp (48% of the total magnitude) is idiosyncratic — not explained by riding market, sector, or rate moves. The rest (+62.6pp) came from systematic exposure: market +62.6pp, sector -0.0pp, rate +0.0pp.
