Advanced Micro Devices Beats Q3 EPS, Insiders Sell $35.5M while Harel Cuts Stake

AMDAMD

Advanced Micro Devices’ Q3 EPS rose to $1.20, beating consensus by $0.03 on $9.25 billion revenue, up 35.6% year-over-year, as the company’s data center and client segments accelerate growth. Insiders sold 161,558 shares worth $35.5 million and Harel Insurance trimmed its AMD position by 2.9% to 134,202 shares valued at $21.7 million.

1. Strong Long-Term Growth Outlook

AMD’s management projects a 60% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in its data center business through 2030, driven by expanding adoption of its EPYC server processors in cloud and enterprise environments. Overall revenue is expected to grow at a 35% CAGR over the same period, reflecting robust demand across gaming, client computing and semi-custom SoC applications. Analysts estimate these trends could support a 348% gain in AMD’s share price by the end of the decade, potentially lifting it to near $1,000 per share, even after accounting for the current 33x forward earnings valuation. Further margin expansion—via improved manufacturing yields on the latest process nodes and cost synergies from Xilinx and Pensando integrations—could drive upside beyond these base forecasts.

2. Institutional Ownership and Insider Activity

As of the latest SEC filings, institutional investors hold 71.34% of AMD’s outstanding shares. Harel Insurance Investments & Financial Services reported a 2.9% reduction in its stake during the third quarter, selling 4,050 shares and ending the period with 134,202 shares valued at $21.71 million. Other asset managers made notable moves: ORG Wealth Partners increased its position by 39.7% to 162 shares, Pinney & Scofield added 81.0% to reach 190 shares, Dogwood Wealth Management grew its stake by 2,311.1% to 217 shares, Avion Wealth rose 49.3% to 218 shares, and West Branch Capital expanded its holdings by 3,057.1% to 221 shares. Meanwhile, insiders sold a combined 161,558 shares—CEO Lisa T. Su offloaded 125,000 shares and EVP Mark D. Papermaster sold 17,108—totaling roughly $35.5 million in dispositions, a 3.67% and 0.99% reduction in their respective ownership stakes.
