What's Going On With AMD Stock Tuesday?

Advanced Micro Devices Inc AMD shares are in the spotlight Tuesday ahead of earnings. Here’s a look at what investors need to know before the print.

What To Know: AMD is set to report second-quarter financial results after the market close on Tuesday. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of 68 cents per share on revenue of $5.724 billion, according to estimates from Benzinga Pro.

Last quarter, AMD beat analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines as its Data Center and Client segments each grew more than 80% year-over-year driven by a ramp of AI accelerator shipments.

“This is an incredibly exciting time for the industry as widespread deployment of AI is driving demand for significantly more compute across a broad range of markets. We are executing very well as we ramp our data center business and enable AI capabilities across our product portfolio,” AMD CEO Lisa Su said at the time.

AMD has met or exceeded analyst estimates in six straight quarters heading into Tuesday’s print, per Benzinga Pro data.
