Key Insights
Surprisingly Low Correlations: Despite being in the same semiconductor industry, these three stocks show only moderate to low correlations over the past year.
NVDA ↔ AMD (0.46): The highest pair correlation, but still moderate. Both compete in GPUs and AI chips, explaining some synchronized movement. However, NVDA's dominance in AI has decoupled it somewhat from AMD.
INTC is the Outlier (0.27): Intel shows low correlation with both NVDA and AMD. Intel's focus on traditional CPUs and its turnaround challenges have caused it to move more independently from the AI-focused chip stocks.
Portfolio Implication: These low correlations suggest holding all three provides meaningful diversification benefits within the semiconductor sector. INTC in particular adds diversification despite being in the same industry.
