Advanced Micro Devices - New positionClearBridge Investments Appreciation StrategyJune 2026
“Portfolio Highlights The ClearBridge Appreciation Strategy underperformed the benchmark S&P 500 Index in the second quarter of 2026. On an absolute basis, the Strategy had positive contributions from eight of 11 sectors. The IT sector was the main positive contributor, while energy was the main detractor. In relative terms, stock selection and sector allocation detracted. Stock selection in IT, industrials, communication services, financials and consumer discretionary, overweights to materials and energy and an IT underweight detracted the most. Conversely, stock selection in materials and a consumer discretionary underweight were beneficial. On an individual stock basis, the biggest relative contributors during the quarter were ASML, Palo Alto Networks, ASM International, an underweight to Microsoft and not owning Palantir. The biggest detractors were Netflix, underweights to Micron Technology and Advanced Micro Devices, and not owning Intel and Applied Materials. During the quarter, we initiated new positions in SpaceX in communication services, Micron Technology, Cisco Systems, Advanced Micro Devices and Texas Instruments in IT and Diamondback Energy in energy.”
Advanced Micro Devices - June 2026
“1 Before we do that, let's talk about Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). We purchased our initial position in AMD in October 2022 at about $80 per share when the stock was depressed due to weak outlook for its end markets. As is often the case with the market, when it does not like a stock or a sector it discounts it severely and we were able to purchase a cyclical stock (yes, semiconductor stocks were cyclical then!) with a net-cash balance sheet at a depressed multiple of depressed earnings. Our investment was underpinned by our confidence in AMD's management team, its engineering culture, and its ability to consistently deliver competitive products. It turns out that CPU’s, AMD’s core product, are needed for Agentic AI! The stock took off earlier this year and is currently trading at above $500 per share. From our perspective, the upside we captured was not due to any attempt to predict AI’s trajectory, but simply the result of owning a quality company in a secularly growing sector, run by a strong management team at a sensible valuation. As we've said before, high-quality businesses possess optionality that simply isn't available to mediocre businesses and even as these businesses trade at higher multiples, this optionality is often undervalued. Today, the world can’t seem to buy enough semiconductor stocks, and AMD trades at a valuation that reflects a very optimistic consensus about its future. While those expectations may well prove accurate, forecasting that kind of trajectory is not our strength. For that reason, we’ve sold roughly three‑quarters of our AMD position.”

Advanced Micro Devices - New positionAristotle Atlantic Partners Core Equity StrategyJune 2026
“Advanced Micro Devices Advanced Micro Devices is a high-performance and adaptive computing company that designs and delivers processors, accelerators, graphics products, adaptive computing platforms and software used across data centers, cloud computing, personal computers, gaming, embedded systems, edge computing and AI. Its portfolio includes central processing units, graphics processing units, accelerated processing units, data processing units, field programmable gate arrays, adaptive systems on chips, semi-custom systems on chips, smart network interface cards and related development tools, compilers, and drivers that help customers build customized computing solutions. The company operates through four segments: Data Center, which serves data centers and AI environments; Client, which provides desktop and notebook processors and chipsets; Gaming, which includes discrete graphics products and semi-custom solutions; and Embedded, which provides processors and adaptive computing products for embedded applications. We initiated Advanced Micro Devices, as the company's roadmap and rack-scale system capability now position it as a credible second source in data center central processing unit (CPU) and accelerated compute, a structural shift in markets that have historically operated as single-vendor franchises, with corresponding implications for pricing power and customer allocation.”

“At the same time that the AI complex has become more competitive, it has also become narrower and more interdependent. Much of the incremental demand is concentrated in two model companies and a small group of hyperscalers and neo-clouds scrambling to expand capacity. They are buying accelerators and custom silicon from Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom and others.”

Advanced Micro Devices - June 2026
“Market Overview After a challenging first quarter that saw the S&P 500 Index decline 4.3%, markets rebounded sharply in the second quarter. The S&P 500 climbed 15.2%, driven by a surge in information technology (IT) stocks, particularly semiconductor stocks, which soared 44.0%. The ClearBridge Dividend Strategy rose nicely but lagged the exuberant gains of S&P 500 mainly due to our lower technology exposure. While no one likes to trail in sharp market rallies, diversified dividend growth portfolios tend to lag in these narrow, momentum driven markets. Our research shows, however, that these periods tend to be followed by periods of broader market participation in which diversified dividend-growth portfolios shine. Semiconductor memory stocks were the standout performers. Shares of Micron, the largest producer of storage chips, skyrocketed 240%, adding over $900 billion of market cap — more than the entire market capitalization of Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson or JPMorgan Chase. Our underweight to Micron and a select group of other non-dividend- paying data center plays, like Advanced Micro Devices, Intel and SanDisk, were the largest drivers of our relative underperformance.”
Advanced Micro Devices - June 2026
“Performance commentary The fund outperformed its index over the quarter, which was the result of positive stock selection. The fund’s holdings in the technology sector made a particularly strong contribution to returns. Holdings in Micron, Samsung and TSMC continued to benefit from the tight market for semiconductor memory and surging manufacturing demand. The holding in Alphabet also proved beneficial. Shares in the owner of Google rose following the release of encouraging results, which also gave investors confidence about its direction of AI integration. On the downside, holdings that had previously benefited from rising tensions in the Middle East underperformed. Late Life Cycle energy companies, Shell and Suncor Energy, gave back some gains from the previous quarter, after agreement appeared to have been struck to end the US conflict with Iran and the ‘war premium’ in commodity prices faded. Despite the strong performances of the portfolio’s technology-related holdings, we retain an underweight position overall relative to the benchmark. Certain technology stocks that we don’t hold, such as Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, performed well and had a negative influence on relative returns.”

“Take NVIDIA’s CUDA software moat first. We have argued in earlier letters that CUDA has held a fifteen-year advantage, with millions of developers trained and organised around it, and we are obliged to report that we hold this view rather less firmly than we once did. The painful work of porting away has begun in earnest. Google's TPUs and Amazon's Trainium chips now run inference for Anthropic at scale, and AMD has been signed for gigawatts more from next year.”

“Portfolio The portfolio’s underperformance—both for May and the year to date— has been especially acute in the IT sector, where a small cohort of stocks have been responsible for most of the market’s strength this year. Indeed, 20 stocks contributed 83% of the MSCI World Index’s total return in May; of these 20 stocks, 16 were in IT. We own five of these strongly performing stocks, among them ASML in the Netherlands and Microsoft in the US. But the absence of others from our portfolio, particularly memory chip maker Micron and chip designer Advanced Micro Devices, has hurt relative returns.”
