Advanced Micro Devices was the busiest stock at TradeStation Securities in May as the chipmaker reported strong quarterly results.
AMD held its position at the top of the rankings for the fourth straight month, according to TradeStation data. The company’s earnings, revenue and guidance beat expectations on May 3. CEO Lisa Su noted the company was at a “significant inflection point,” with a bigger potential market amid the acquisitions of Xilinx and Pensando. The shares proceeded to hit an 11-month low before reversing and ending May 19 percent higher.
The only big changes in the list resulted from Twitter (TWTR) and Netflix (NFLX) losing popularity. TWTR jumped into the top 10 in April amid an attempted takeover by Elon Musk, and slipped in May. NFLX also dropped from the rankings after a volatile April.

- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): The semiconductor company held the top spot for the fourth straight month.
