Notable Thursday Option Activity: AMD, QS, GS

Large options flow centered on Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.OQ) drove notable market activity on April 23, 2026. AMD saw extremely elevated volume — 627,752 contracts (~62.8M underlying shares), about 169.1% of its one‑month ADV — led by heavy buying in the $305 call expiring April 24 (47,862 contracts, ~4.8M shares). QuantumScape and Goldman Sachs also registered outsized activity. The surge in short‑dated call volume may boost near‑term directional risk, gamma exposure and intraday liquidity demand for the underlying shares, potentially amplifying price moves into the April 24 expiration. Overall the piece reports market data rather than issuing a directional forecast.
