Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) stock remained largely unchanged this week as investors digested NVIDIA Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42121215/nvidia-post-earnings-jitters-can-nvda-stock-regain-its-ai-fueled-momentum">third-quarter earnings report</a>.
Nvidia, AMD&#8217;s key competitor in high-performance GPUs and AI hardware, posted solid third-quarter results that beat analyst expectations. However, its guidance for the fourth quarter dampened enthusiasm, leaving some investors cautious about the short-term outlook.
What To Know: Analysts praised Nvidia's performance, noting strong AI demand and a robust product pipeline, particularly around its next-generation Blackwell architecture. 
Cantor Fitzgerald and Piper Sandler analysts emphasized that the Blackwell ramp is outpacing initial expectations, and demand continues to outstrip supply. Despite this, Nvidia's guidance for fourth quarter gross margins and revenue fell short of lofty investor expectations, triggering some profit-taking.

For AMD, the lack of significant movement in its stock price reflects the lingering uncertainty in the sector. While Nvidia solidifies its dominance in AI hardware, AMD has been making inroads with its MI300 chips, targeting similar data center and AI workloads. Investors appear to be awaiting clearer signs of market share gains or a breakout moment for AMD in the competitive AI space.
Nvidia's results serve as a bellwether for the broader semiconductor industry, and the mixed reactions highlight investor sensitivity to future growth prospects amidst a year of outsized gains for AI-related stocks. 
With AMD and Nvidia navigating a rapidly evolving landscape, all eyes remain on product launches and guidance updates in early 2025.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy AMD Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Advanced Micro Devices&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AMD has a 52-week high of $227.30 and a 52-week low of $116.37.

<a href="https://www.reactgaming.ca/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">React Gaming</a>&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITMZF#OTC">ITMZF</a>) CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurentbenezra/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Laurent Benezra</a>&nbsp;sat down with our own Shadd Dales to discuss the future of React Gaming, betting, and the Esports industry. React Gaming (formerly known as&nbsp;Intema Solutions Inc.)&nbsp;currently owns its own Esports franchises and betting operations. With the&nbsp;acquisition of LOOT.BET, the company, is gaining traction in diverse esports markets. The new 500,000 new users from&nbsp;LOOT.BET&nbsp;will only prove to expand the Esports betting industry as a whole.&nbsp;HypeX.gg&nbsp;is another website under the React Gaming banner, which furthers the horizontal integration of the company as a whole.

This increases the overall userbase of React Gaming&rsquo;s products and should prove well for the synergies of LOOT.BET and the esports industry as a whole. These enterprises give React the needed grounding in the Esports betting industry to make them stand out as the early player in a massive market. The markets that React Gaming will get direct exposure to are League of Legends, Dota 2, CSGO, Fortnite, and more. All of these games have massive followings on Twitch.TV is an excellent indicator of the health of an Esport. There are gamers worldwide becoming more facilitated with the esports scene. React Gaming has a unique opportunity because of the synergy the company has with its own Esports teams.

Currently, React Gaming owns both the Bloodhound Esports and&nbsp;Parabellum Esports&nbsp;brands. Bloodhound Esports is primarily centered around competitive Fortnite and Call of Duty content creation. Content creation for video games is hard to grow organically but React found a way to get talented streamers to play for their banner. Not to mention Parabellum Esports and their competitive R6 team. Parabellum has very high-profile matches coming up with TSM and SSG. These are highly competitive teams, and as Parabellum continues to gain traction, it will only benefit the content creation side of the business. Parabellum also operates out of its iRacing segment. With F1 becoming popular through the rise of their own Netflix series and competitive races, the sports have grown exponentially. This is the same phenomenon that will happen with Esports. As with F1, betting in the sport has gotten very big. With high net worth, sometimes placing 6-7 figure bets on these races.

Other industries have survived off sports betting, and Esports can be one of those. Take NASCAR, for example. There is a large betting scene behind the sport, leading to higher cash prizes for drivers and higher TV ratings due to the betting scene. LOOT.BET can be the full-service experience for esports. This can help support the bottom line for many teams expenses. It&rsquo;s not easy having an esports team, from home expenses to traveling to coaching, there are many fixed costs for an esports franchise. For esports due to its early foothold in the sector and strong partnerships resulting from the merger. Esports is the next big sporting event to take the world stage. betting will come along with the space, and I believe LOOT.BET has the early mover advantage to make serious headway. These are massively followed games on Twitch.com which is an excellent indicator of an Esports success. Even with competitions heating up in the space, continued horizontal integration of products and offerings will help react become a full-service esports offering. Today no public company has had the early success of React in the space, and I look forward to covering the future ongoings of React Gaming and its products.&nbsp;
