AMD’s second-quarter earnings and guidance exceeded estimates, but shares fell on investor disappointment over AI-linked GPU sales momentum.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares declined 5.8% in after-hours trading Tuesday despite reporting second-quarter results and guidance that surpassed Wall Street expectations. The chipmaker’s stock has surged nearly 130% year-to-date, reflecting strong demand for AI-related products.
Revenue and earnings for the quarter topped consensus estimates, driven by robust sales of AI-optimized GPUs. However, the post-earnings dip suggests investors anticipated even greater growth in the segment, which has been a key driver of AMD’s recent performance.
The company’s guidance for the current quarter also exceeded analyst projections, but the market reaction indicates lingering concerns about the pace of AI adoption and competitive pressures in the semiconductor industry.
