AMD Investors Pull Back After Modest Q1 Beat, Lukewarm Guidance; CEO Touts AI Chip Ramp-Up (UPDATED)
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
AMD reported Q1 results slightly above expectations with record data center revenue but provided Q2 revenue guidance below consensus estimates, causing its stock to retreat in after-hours trading. The company highlighted strong growth in its Data Center and Client segments, driven by AI accelerator shipments and processor adoption. Despite a year-over-year decline in PC shipments, AMD's server compute business is expected to remain strong. AMD's stock fell 3.71% in after-hours trading but analysts remain optimistic about its future performance.
