Harel Insurance Investments & Financial Services reduced its AMD stake by 2.9% in Q3, selling 4,050 shares to hold 134,202 shares worth $21.7 million. AMD reported Q3 revenue of $9.25 billion (+35.6% YoY) and EPS of $1.20 (beat by $0.03), while CEO Lisa Su sold 125,000 shares at $215.14.

1. AMD Strengthens AI Accelerator Position with MI450 Launch

Advanced Micro Devices is set to release its MI450 AI accelerator later in 2026, a product management claims will outperform its largest rival’s next-generation platform while carrying a substantially lower price point. With a current market capitalization around $380 billion, AMD’s development roadmap targets annual performance gains in line with its aggressive innovation peers. In Q3 2025, AMD reported $9.2 billion in total revenue—a 36% year-over-year increase—driven by a 22% rise in its data-center division and an extraordinary 181% surge in gaming segment revenues. Net income for the quarter reached $1.2 billion, up 61% from the prior year, effectively matching the profit growth rate of larger competitors. Analysts forecast that if MI450 gains traction among hyperscale data centers, AMD could further accelerate market-share gains, particularly as its accelerators undercut rival pricing by up to 25%.

2. Robust Financial Momentum and Valuation Outlook

AMD’s Q3 FY2025 earnings beat consensus estimates with adjusted EPS of $1.20 versus $1.16 expected and revenue of $9.25 billion surpassing the $8.75 billion consensus. Data-center sales hit a record $4.3 billion, client processor revenue reached $2.9 billion (+46%) and gaming chip revenue climbed to $1.3 billion. Over the trailing twelve months, the stock has rallied nearly 96%, lifting its market cap from roughly $193 billion to $380 billion. At quarter end, AMD traded at a trailing P/E near 115x, reflecting stretched growth expectations, but its forward P/E of approximately 35x remains modest relative to projected earnings growth driven by AI and data-center expansion. Wall Street’s consensus price target implies upside of more than 20%, supported by a unanimous “buy” or “hold” analyst recommendation and forecasts of continued revenue doubling over the next two years in key segments.
