Record Data Center Sales — Can AMD Turn Guidance Into Delivery?
AMD rose 3.68% Tuesday and another 5.02% after hours as results and guidance beat expectations. Revenue was $13.38B and adjusted EPS $2.09; data-center revenue hit a record $8.5B, up 97% year over year. Next-quarter guidance is about $17B in revenue, plus or minus 3%, and 55% gross margin—but guidance isn’t confirmed orders. Bulls cite MI450 and EPYC demand; bears flag supply and valuation risks. What matters most next: data-center growth, margin, or MI450 delivery?
