In Advanced Micro Devices Inc's own words

“We delivered an excellent quarter, with record revenue and profitability as Data Center revenue more than doubled year-over-year”

— Dr. Lisa Su, AMD chair and CEO · SEC filing

From the company's earnings release filed with the SEC on 2026-08-04 (Form 8-K).

What would change the picture for AMD

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

• The Nov. 3, 2026 earnings report is 14 days away. Advanced Micro Devices Inc beat estimates in all 4 of the last 4 quarters. The average surprise was +5.9%. A miss would break that pattern.
• Insider buying on the open market: none in 90 days. A purchase by an executive or director would be the first in at least three months. It would appear on SEC Form 4 within two business days.
• Analyst ratings: the average score moved from 4.05 to 4.12 over three months. The scale runs from 1 for strong sell to 5 for strong buy. A run of downgrades after earnings usually shows up here first.
• Price levels: a close above $649.42 would set a new 52-week high. That is 20.7% above the latest close of $538.05. A close below $190.95 would set a new 52-week low. That is 64.5% below it.
• Growth: revenue rose 39.5% year over year in the quarter ending Jun 2026. The trend is accelerating. At a P/E of 138.3, a slowdown would matter more than at a lower multiple.
• New shares: dilution risk is moderate now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.

How AMD compares with its peers

Over the past month, AMD ranks 4 of 6 in this group at -3.9%. NVDA was the best at -2.3%, and INTC was the weakest at -15.3%.

AMD's P/E of 138.3 is above the peers' median of 23.6. Investors pay more for each dollar of its profit, usually for faster expected growth.

A dash in the P/E column means the company lost money over the last 12 months. It has no P/E.

AMD history: what happened after similar moves

Since 2023, AMD fell 10% or more in a month 13 times (separate episodes, not counting the current one). Three months later it was higher in 5 of 11 cases; the median change was -0.1%.

Past moves don't predict the next one; they show how volatile the stock has been.
