AMDAMD

Harel Insurance reduced its Advanced Micro Devices stake by 2.9%, selling 4,050 shares to hold 134,202 shares valued at $21.7 million. In Q3, AMD reported $1.20 EPS and $9.25 billion revenue, beating expectations with data-center sales of $4.3 billion, up 22% year-over-year.

1. Robust Q3 Performance Fuels Momentum

In its fiscal 2025 Q3 report, AMD delivered EPS of $1.20, surpassing the Street by $0.04, on revenue of $9.25 billion versus expectations of $8.75 billion. Data center sales reached a record $4.3 billion, up 22% year-over-year, while client processor revenue grew 46% to $2.9 billion and gaming chip revenue surged 181% to $1.3 billion. These results helped drive a 95.7% share gain over the past 12 months, underscoring the company’s ability to convert strong product demand into sustained top- and bottom-line acceleration.

2. AI and Data-Center Expansion Underpin Growth

AMD’s MI300 GPU family continues to pressure its largest competitor, offering comparable performance at lower cost and earning placements with major cloud providers. The $4.9 billion acquisition of ZT Systems further bolsters AMD’s end-to-end AI strategy by integrating data-center infrastructure expertise. In 2024 AMD’s data-center segment generated $12.6 billion in revenue—a 94% increase over the prior year—with Q3 alone up 122%. This rapid build-out positions AMD to capitalize on hyperscale AI spending and diversify its addressable market beyond traditional CPU and GPU sales.

3. Multi-Year Upside Driven by Serviceable Market Growth

Management projects a 60% compound annual growth rate in data-center revenue through 2030 and a 35% overall revenue CAGR over the same period. Wall Street’s consensus outlook implies roughly 22.5% upside over the next 12 months, while select analysts foresee potential gains exceeding 34% by year-end 2026. With data-center infrastructure demand surging globally and AMD’s product roadmap—including next-generation GPU accelerators and integrated systems—well aligned to capture market share, investors are positioned to benefit from what may be among the semiconductor industry’s fastest growth trajectories.
