AMD Shares Drop After CEO Guides Q1 Data Center Revenue Down 7%

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) shares are diving Wednesday following its fourth-quarter earnings release on Tuesday. Data center segment revenues and guidance given on the company’s conference call are weighing on investors. What To Know: AMD’s Datacenter fourth-quarter revenue came in below analyst expectations of $4.14 billion, per CNBC, and the company guided for further declines ahead. CFO Jean Hu said on the company’s earnings call that data center revenue is expected to decline by about 7% in the first quarter, in line with the company’s overall revenue. CEO Lisa Su added more color to the Q1 guidance and attributed the anticipated decline to seasonality across business segments. “And the way that breaks out in each of the segments assume that data center would be down just about that average, so the corporate average. We would expect the client business and the embedded business to be down more than that. Just given where seasonality is for […]

AMD Faces a Double Threat for 2025

This article is from the free weekly Barron’s Tech email newsletter. Sign up here to get it delivered directly to your inbox. Lost Year. Hi everyone. Advanced Micro Devices is facing trouble in 2025. Double trouble, in fact. On Tuesday, AMD reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings results and gave a slightly better-than-expected outlook for revenue in its current quarter. Still, the chip stock tumbled as much as 10% on the news. The culprits were some underlying numbers in the company’s data center business, along with weak commentary about its outlook for all-important AI chips. AMD’s December-quarter data center revenue came in at $3.86 billion, which was below the $4.14 billion estimate. The miss suggests the strong growth for AMD’s core x86 franchise, where it has been gaining share from Intel, could be slowing. AMD also faces a rising threat from Arm in the server CPU market. Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and

AMD Stock Downgraded. Goldman Names This Surprise Among AI Chip Picks for 2025.

By Elsa Ohlen AMD stock was falling after Goldman Sachs downgraded the chip maker’s shares and named its rivals among the bank’s picks for 2025. The move came following a note from the bank advising investors to tackle 2025 with a “barbell” strategy and own industry-leading artificial intelligence stocks, as well as those exposed to cyclical recovery in traditional chip areas. Goldman analysts led by Toshiya Hari downgraded Advanced Micro Devices to Neutral from Buy Thursday, cutting their price target to $129 from $175. Citing a more conservative PC and traditional server unit outlook — and modest growth for data center graphics processing unit (GPUs) given fierce competition from rivals — Hari also cut the chip maker’s revenue estimates for 2025/26 by double digits. AMD stock fell 2% to $119.40 in premarket trading Friday. Goldman continues to be bullish on Nvidia, saying its GPU is the industry standard. It rates

AMD Stock Falls After Downgrade. Why It’s Trailing in the AI Chips Race.

By Brian Swint Advanced Micro Devices, stock was falling in premarket trading Wednesday after it caught a downgrade. The semiconductor maker that competes with Nvidia and Intel, is not keeping up in the race to produce chips for artificial intelligence. Strategists at HSBC led by Frank Lee lowered their price target on the shares to $110 from $200 and cut the rating to Reduce from Buy. After noting the stock’s decline in the past three months, Lee said it could drop further. The company’s road map for producing AI graphics processors “is less competitive than we previously thought,” the analysts said in a note Wednesday. While Nvidia is still clearly the leader among AI chip makers, AMD, Broadcom, and Marvell Technology are also competing for market share as Big Tech firms such as Google-parent Alphabet and Facebook-owner Meta Platforms ramp up investment. AMD stock slid 2.3% to $124.54 in premarket

AMD Stock Pressure Suggests Raised Guidance Was Largely Anticipated

Advanced Micro Devices’ guidance was generally in-line but many were expecting more upside for the business, particularly in its data center segment, says Susquehanna Financial Group’s Christopher Rolland in a research note. The chip maker reported a sharp rise in quarterly sales on demand for its AI chips and other products for data centers. CEO Lisa Su raised her projection for AMD’s sales of AI chips this year to $5 billion from a $4.5 billion forecast in July. “While the company did raise 2024 MI300 revenue guidance to >$5B, we believe the negative stock reaction suggests the $500M raise was largely anticipated by investors,” says Rolland. AMD sinks 10% to $149.71.

At Computex 2024, AMD provided greater insights across its AI hardware capabilities in both data center and PCs. On the accelerator side, AMD introduced an annual cadence (like NVIDIA) where its plans to make the Instinct MI325X available in Q4 (focus on memory capacity with 288GB of ultra-fast HBM3E). AMD also highlighted that the MI350 Series will be available in 2025, with up to 35x AI inference boost versus the MI300 Series, while the MI400 accelerators will launch in 2026. Its Turin EPYC CPUs will be available in the second half of 2024. On the device side, AMD also highlighted its Ryzen AI 300 Series for Copilot+ PCs. Although AMD remains well behind peer NVIDIA, it is expected to generate at least $4B in GPU server revenue in CY 24 during its first full year selling the offering, largely supported by its partnership with Microsoft. We await whether AMD’s GPU

AMD Drags Down Nvidia Stock After Disappointing Guidance — Barrons.com

By Brian Swint AMD stock was falling early Wednesday after disappointing investors on guidance for sales of processors used in data centers. It could be a warning for Nvidia. Both semiconductor makers have benefited from the excitement around artificial intelligence and enjoy strong valuations. That’s based on high expectations for future growth as companies invest in more computing power to run AI software. For AMD, those expectations weren’t met. Even though earnings were in line, its new guidance for data-center chips of $4 billion was seen as lowball. While still higher than the previous estimate of $3.5 billion, some analysts were predicting that it should be much higher. “We are firm believers in AMD’s revitalized product roadmap strategy, and product traction is compelling,” said KeyBanc strategists led by John Vinh. “However, expectations for share gains and growth are high. We’re concerned that any moderate downtick to expectations could add substantial

CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows: We keep our 12-month target at $200, on P/E of 36.8x our ’25 EPS view, below 5-year historical average/above peers. We adjust our ’24 EPS estimate to $3.54 from $4.10 but keep ’25 at $5.44. AMD posts Q1 EPS of $0.62 vs. $0.60, beating the $0.61 consensus. Sales rose 2% and provided Q2 outlook (+6% Y/Y) largely in line with expectations, as investors were hoping for more amid a strong AI capex environment. Still, Data Center momentum (+80%) remains strong, as it incrementally boosts ’24 GPU server outlook ($4B from $3.5B) given better MI300X visibility from cloud players (Microsoft, Meta, Oracle) and enterprise momentum. Easy comparisons and PC recovery drove Client (+85%), while we expect an enterprise refresh cycle for AI PCs to start in the 2H.
