AMD reported second-quarter Data Center revenue of $6.72B, up 107% and 58% of total revenue, and CEO Lisa Su said the company enters the second half with strong momentum. Shares are up 164.77% year to date at $567.04, though they fell 10.08% over the past month. The average analyst price target of $637.61 implies about 12% upside, while expected 2027 EPS growth of 108% and revenue growth of 75% are seen as aggressive. The article says reaching $1,000 per share by 2027 would require a 76% gain, with hurdles including Helios yields, data center power availability and export controls, and that AMD trades at 36x 2027 estimates.

- AMD Stock Fell 8% in a Day as Lam Research’s Supply Warning Sank Chip Stocks. Here’s Where the Stock Could Go by 2030
AMD closed at $507.93 on October 22, down 8.10% after Lam Research (LRCX) said supply constraints held down its guidance, a drop larger than the 6.72% fall in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. The stock was 21.79% below its October 6 record close of $649.42. The article attributes the decline to a lower multiple rather than to estimates: AMD's NTM P/E fell from about 55x to about 46x between September 30 and October 22, while NTM normalized EPS held near $11. The main risk it identifies is the timing of rack-scale shipments, since delays would cut the estimates the model starts from. AMD reports third-quarter results on November 3 after the close.
- This Is AMD's Biggest Hurdle in an AI Sell-Off (and No, It's Not Nvidia)
AMD shares have sold off recently, even though the company has benefited from an AI chip shortage because Nvidia cannot meet all demand. The article argues that valuation is a bigger risk than the AI business, with AMD's P/E at 139 and forward P/E at 72, several times higher than Nvidia, Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor. If AMD's P/E fell to Nvidia's current level, the stock could lose close to 80% of its value. Still, the valuation is seen as more of a threat to the stock than to the company, since data center AI chips made up 58% of AMD's latest-quarter revenue versus almost 93% for Nvidia. The author reduced AMD holdings for diversification but kept a substantial long-term position.
- Nvidia vs. AMD: Which AI Business Has More Room for Margins to Fall?
Nvidia reported $96.22 billion in quarterly revenue and a 66.2% GAAP operating margin on August 26, while AMD's August 4 results showed $11.54 billion in revenue and a 17.3% margin. In an illustrative test that cuts each margin by five percentage points with revenue unchanged, Nvidia's operating income falls 7.5% and AMD's falls 29.0%, showing Nvidia has more room to absorb pricing pressure. AMD's data-center revenue reached $6.7 billion, up 107%, versus Nvidia's $89 billion, and the article notes AMD could grow faster from a smaller profit base but faces integration costs and competitive pricing. At October 15 prices, trailing free-cash-flow multiples were about 41 for Nvidia and 109 for AMD, making cash conversion especially important for AMD. The article stresses that this one-quarter margin exercise is not a return forecast.
- Nvidia and AMD Reached a Historic Valuation Split. 1 Stock Is Far Safer.
The article compares Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD, direct rivals in AI GPUs, noting AMD's stock has nearly tripled in 2026 while Nvidia gained 23%, pushing their valuations apart; AMD's market cap is about $1 trillion. Nvidia's latest quarter showed 106% revenue growth and a projected 62% margin. Analysts expect Nvidia's revenue to grow 68% to $692 billion next year and AMD's to rise about 75% to $89 billion, so their growth rates are close. The author argues AMD is priced far above Nvidia and sees Nvidia as the safer choice.
- AMD CFO Delivers Bullish Update That Investors Will Want to Hear
AMD's stock has risen 142% in 2026 so far and more than 330% over the past five years, amid expectations that CPUs will play a bigger role in AI computing. Speaking at the Citi 2026 Global TMT Conference, CFO Jean Hu said AMD sees its total addressable market (TAM) reaching $2 trillion to $3 trillion by 2030, compared with her earlier estimate of roughly $2 trillion for its semiconductors and other products. The figure reflects the total market size its products can serve rather than expected revenue. In the second quarter, AMD's revenue rose 50% year over year to $11.5 billion, with data center sales up 107% to $6.7 billion on demand for its EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs. While Nvidia leads the ultra-high-end GPU market for training AI models, AMD has been gaining ground and winning server CPU share from Intel.
- Teradyne, Vishay Intertechnology, Allegro MicroSystems, Entegris, and AMD shares are soaring, what you need to know
Shares of several semiconductor and AI infrastructure companies rose in the afternoon session after strong demand for AI hardware and robust corporate earnings revived investor optimism. According to CNBC, the rally extended to AMD, Nvidia, Micron and Marvell after SpaceX reported a 161% jump in third-quarter revenue, with its AI business growing ninefold to $7.56 billion. Elon Musk also announced that SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to discuss a possible merger, while investors looked ahead to Tesla's earnings report later that day. During the session, Teradyne rose 2.9%, Vishay Intertechnology 3.7%, Allegro MicroSystems 0.7%, Entegris 2.6% and AMD 3.5%. The article said the sustained spending and revenue figures eased recent concerns about a slowdown in AI investment.

- Top AdTech stocks to watch as third quarter earnings approach - B Riley
B Riley analyst Naved Khan previewed five AdTech and MarTech companies ahead of their fiscal third-quarter 2026 reports, expecting in-line to modestly better-than-expected results. Third-quarter estimates sit near the midpoint of company guidance and are essentially in line with consensus, while demand remains stable and ad budgets continue shifting into connected TV (CTV). Magnite (MGNI), reporting November 4 after the close, is expected to post ex-TAC revenue of $190.0 million, up 13.9% year over year, and B Riley rates it Buy with a $30 price target. Pubmatic (PUBM) is modeled at $76.0 million in revenue, up 11.8%, with a $21 price target. Taboola (TBLA) is expected to deliver $187.0 million in ex-TAC gross profit, up 5.8%, with a $6 price target.
- AMD Reports on Nov. 3. Here's What You Should Do Before Then.
The author argues that AMD, up nearly 150% so far this year, carries a very high valuation at 136 times trailing earnings and 34 times next year's earnings estimates, so investors should consider acting before AMD reports on November 3. Nvidia trades at about 27 times earnings, which the author considers a fair price. According to the author, AMD's business has not grown nearly as fast as its share price, and Nvidia is still growing faster (106% in Q2 versus 50% for AMD). The author expects investors may rotate from AMD into Nvidia after the third-quarter report, potentially sparking a major sell-off.
- Why SpaceX Stock Dropped Today
SpaceX stock (SPCX) slid 2.9% through 11 a.m. ET on Friday, which the article ties to Intel's (INTC) results released the previous evening. Intel beat forecasts by $0.12 per share on $16.5 billion in revenue, but guided to Q4 earnings of $0.25 per share versus consensus of $0.44 and Q4 revenue of no more than $16 billion against the $17.1 billion analysts had hoped for. Northland analyst Gus Richard had expected strong results and viewed the Intel partnership with SpaceX as a significant catalyst, but the weak guidance suggests the tie-up isn't good news for either company. Bank of America also warned that the reported SpaceX–Tesla merger plans could be at risk if Chinese antimonopoly authorities intervene, since half of Tesla's electric car production comes from Shanghai.
- This Brilliant Quantum Computing Stock Could Double in a Year
The author argues that IonQ (IONQ), a leading quantum computing pure-play, could double over the next year if its 256-qubit system, due in early 2027 and already with a handful of preorders, gains traction. IonQ holds the world record for 2-qubit gate fidelity at 99.99%, about one error in every 10,000 operations, while most competitors are below 99.9%. The stock is down roughly 60% from its peak just over a year ago, back to late-2024 levels. Much of IonQ's recent revenue growth came from acquisitions, but the company estimates organic growth of 100% or greater. The author says a positive reception for the new system could push the stock higher.
- Cheaper cars are selling considerably faster than at the beginning of the year
According to Edmunds, the time to sell a vehicle priced at $20,000 to $29,999 fell 20% from the first to the third quarter, the biggest acceleration of any price segment. The $30,000 to $39,999 tier sold about 18% faster, and the $40,000 to $49,999 tier nearly 12% faster. Cheaper vehicles remain scarce, though: Cox Automotive put the average new-vehicle listing price in September at $49,726, and sales in several segments under $40,000 have fallen. Compact car sales are down roughly 4% and compact SUV sales nearly 8% since the start of 2026, with analysts pointing to supply shortages, including tight Toyota RAV4 inventory and the discontinued Ford Escape. Wholesale prices for used compact cars have risen, and roughly one in four buyers financing a purchase is taking an 84-month loan, a record.
