These U.S. politicians suspiciously bought AMD stock weeks before post-earnings rally

Several U.S. House members disclosed purchases of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock in early 2026 just weeks before AMD’s blockbuster Q1 results, drawing attention to the timing. Reported buys include Rep. Gilbert Cisneros ($1,001–$15,000 on March 9), Rep. Ro Khanna (similar size on March 9), Rep. Cleo Fields ($50,001–$100,000 on Feb. 3) and Rep. Julia Letlow ($1,001–$15,000 on Feb. 2). AMD reported $10.3 billion in Q1 revenue, with data-center sales up 57% YoY to $5.8 billion, and issued optimistic AI-driven server demand guidance. The stock traded around $415 (up ~16% intraday), was roughly 85% higher month-to-date, and rallied a further ~17–20% in sessions after the earnings release.
