AMD Q3 2026 Earnings Preview: Will AI Data Center Growth Lift Gross Margins?

 

AMD reports fiscal third quarter 2026 results after the close on Tuesday November 3, with the conference call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern and 2:00 p.m. Pacific, corresponding to 06:00 Singapore time on November 4. The results had not been published as of this article's verification point.

 

The guidance the company gave on its August Q2 call is unusually granular, and that guidance already answers the question of whether AI revenue converts into higher margins. The answer comes in three layers.

 

At the gross margin line, no. Revenue guidance of roughly $13 billion plus or minus $300 million implies about 41% year-over-year and about 13% sequential growth at the midpoint, while non-GAAP gross margin guidance sits at about 56%, level with the Q2 actual. CFO Jean Hu explained the reason directly on the call: data center AI gross margin runs slightly below the corporate average, while server CPU growth is accretive to margin.

 

At the operating margin line, yes. Multiplying through the components the company provided yields implied non-GAAP operating income of roughly $3.63 billion for an operating margin of about 27.9%, above Q2's 26.8%. The improvement comes entirely from the expense side: non-GAAP operating expenses are guided to roughly $3.65 billion, up about 7.5% sequentially against revenue up about 12.7%.

 

At the per-share line, a structural factor the brief does not mention. AMD issued warrants to OpenAI and to Meta for up to 160 million shares each at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, a combined 320 million shares equal to roughly 19.6% of shares outstanding, with vesting tied to the very GPU shipments that generate this revenue and a final tranche carrying a $600 share-price condition. AMD closed at $560.26 on October 28, roughly 7% below that threshold.

 

This article covers the timing and the company's own baseline, the implied quarter derived from that guidance, why gross margin is not expanding, the difference between segment and consolidated measures, the warrant structure, and the Q4 guidance.

 

 

 

Results arrive after the close on Tuesday November 3, with the call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. That is 06:00 Singapore time on November 4. US daylight saving time ends November 1, so conversions should use standard time.

 

 

The gross margin guidance is level with the Q2 actual while revenue is guided up about 13% sequentially. Incremental AI revenue is therefore not lifting gross margin.

 

The CFO stated the reason: data center AI gross margin runs slightly below the corporate average while server CPU is accretive. A revenue mix tilting toward AI consequently dilutes gross margin.

 

Derived from company guidance, the quarter implies a non-GAAP operating margin of about 27.9% and earnings per share of about $1.93. The operating margin improvement comes from operating expenses growing 32.5% year over year against revenue growth of 40.6%.

 

Data Center segment operating margin is genuinely expanding. It rose from 24.7% in Q3 2025 to 31.3% in Q2 2026, though that is a segment operating measure rather than consolidated gross margin.

 

MI450 and Helios initial shipments begin this quarter, step up in Q4 and step up again in Q1 2027. Anthropic's first gigawatt does not begin deploying until the first half of 2027.

 

The warrants total 320 million shares, roughly 19.6% of shares outstanding, at a $0.01 exercise price, vesting against GPU shipments and share-price conditions up to $600. No shares had vested as of June 27.

 

 

 

AMD's own wording is that it "will report fiscal third quarter 2026 financial results on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, after the market close," with the call "at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT." Note that US daylight saving time ends on Sunday November 1, so November 3 falls in standard time, placing 5:00 p.m. Eastern at 22:00 Coordinated Universal Time and 06:00 the next day in Singapore, matching the time in the brief.

 

Unlike companies that give only a revenue range, the guidance AMD provided here is granular enough to reconstruct the shape of an entire income statement.

 

 

The comparison base is Q3 2025 revenue of $9,246 million. Dividing $13,000 million by $9,246 million gives 1.406, or 40.6% growth, consistent with the roughly 41% the company cited. The guided range of $12.7 billion to $13.3 billion corresponds to growth of 37.4% to 43.8%.

 

 

Working through the table above in sequence produces a baseline better grounded than any third-party estimate.

 

 

Placing those implied figures alongside two comparison periods gives the following.

 

 

On that basis the quarter implies non-GAAP earnings per share of about $1.93, up roughly 60.8% year over year and roughly 16.3% sequentially.

 

What matters is where that improvement comes from. Gross margin contributes nothing, moving from 56% in Q2 to about 56% in the guidance. Operating expenses as a share of revenue fall from 29.4% to 28.1%, a decline of 1.3 points, and that is the entire source of the operating margin rising from 26.8% to about 27.9%. On a year-over-year basis, operating expenses rise from $2,754 million to about $3,650 million for growth of 32.5% against revenue growth of 40.6%, a gap of roughly eight points, which is precisely what the CFO meant in saying operating expenses would grow more slowly than revenue.

 

 

One widely circulated quarterly preview this article checked gives consensus revenue of $13,058 million, net income of $3,202 million and earnings per share of $1.42. Its net income figure is nearly identical to the $3,206 million derived above from company guidance, but its $1.42 per share figure cannot be reconciled with that net income: $3,202 million divided by the company's guided 1,660 million shares gives $1.93, while arriving at $1.42 would require roughly 2,255 million shares, far above the diluted count the company itself provided.

 

That source carries further internal inconsistencies. It lists a year-ago base of $8,759 million, whereas AMD's actual Q3 2025 revenue was $9,246 million, and a sequential per-share comparison of $1.04, whereas AMD's actual Q2 2026 figures were $1.38 on a GAAP basis and $1.66 on a non-GAAP basis.

 

This article therefore does not use that source's growth rates or base figures, working instead from the guidance-derived values, and suggests readers verify any third-party consensus against the company's actual disclosures before citing it.

 

 

This is the point most worth understanding, and the company has already explained it.

 

On the Q2 call, CFO Jean Hu said data center AI gross margin runs slightly below the corporate average (the transcript renders "corporate" as "copper," though the meaning is unambiguous). She added that gross margin is driven mainly by business mix, that server CPU growth is accretive to margin, and that the embedded recovery should provide a further tailwind in 2027.

 

Placing those statements beside the segment structure closes the loop.

 

 

Data Center's share rose from 46.9% to 58.2%, while within Data Center the mix is shifting from margin-accretive server CPUs toward slightly lower-margin Instinct. Per CEO Lisa Su on the same call, server CPU revenue is expected to grow more than 80% year over year in the second half of 2026, while Instinct sales more than doubled year over year in Q2. Both are growing rapidly, but the latter carries lower gross margin, so the mix effect holds consolidated gross margin down.

 

That explains why revenue is guided up about 13% sequentially while gross margin guidance is flat. This is not a pricing failure or a cost overrun but the arithmetic consequence of product mix. It also means the MI450 ramp will continue to suppress gross margin in the near term rather than lift it.

 

The market's verification of this point is worth recording: AMD fell as much as 8% in after-hours trading following the Q2 report, erasing a 7.7% regular-session gain, and one analysis this article checked attributes that to the gross margin guidance not moving and to memory costs squeezing Gaming, rather than to the results themselves. The company had flagged MI450's below-average margin profile back in May.

 

For a full review of that Q2 report, see our AMD Q2 2026 earnings analysis.

 

 

For 2027, the CFO said gross margin depends on the pace of the server CPU ramp against the data center AI ramp, describing management as very optimistic about managing the MI450 ramp while giving no specific 2027 margin guidance.

 

That framing is itself informative. Faster server CPU growth leaves room for margin upside, while faster Instinct growth continues to suppress it. Per Su, 2027 server CPU revenue is expected to grow more than 70% year over year while total Data Center segment revenue is expected to more than double, with her later wording being well over 100%. A segment growing faster than its server CPU component implies Instinct growing faster still, so on the company's own figures the direction of the 2027 mix effect remains margin-suppressive.

 

 

The previous section invites the misreading that the AI business is unprofitable, which is wrong. Segment-level margins are expanding clearly, on a measure that differs from consolidated gross margin.

 

 

Data Center segment operating margin rose from 24.7% to 31.3%, an improvement of 6.6 points. That is real margin expansion.

 

The two facts coexist because the measures differ. Segment operating margin takes segment revenue less the costs and expenses allocated to it, which captures the dilution of fixed costs across a larger base, while consolidated gross margin takes revenue less cost of sales only. Instinct's profile is gross margin slightly below the corporate average but accretive to operating margin at scale, because research and selling expenses spread across a larger revenue base.

 

The brief's question therefore needs answering by measure: AI revenue converts into higher operating margin, true at both segment and consolidated level, but it does not convert into higher gross margin, which the company has made explicit in its guidance.

 

One further measurement caution. Q2 consolidated GAAP operating income was $1,990 million while the three segments' operating income totalled $3,071 million, with the difference arising from a $1,081 million operating loss reported under "all other," which mainly carries stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and forms the principal bridge between GAAP and non-GAAP. Citing segment income without deducting that line materially overstates company-level profitability.

 

 

This is the layer the brief does not address and the one bearing most directly on whether margin reaches the per-share line.

 

 

The two warrants total 320 million shares, equal to roughly 19.6% of the 1,632.47 million shares outstanding as of July 29, or roughly 16.4% of the 1,952.47 million that would be outstanding after full exercise. Both calculations hold; they differ in the denominator.

 

The defining feature of the structure is that vesting is tied to precisely the revenue AMD is working to grow. Per Su on the call, revenue per gigawatt runs in the "double-digit billions." Full vesting of both warrants requires 12 gigawatts combined, which on that unit economic corresponds to a very large cumulative revenue figure, so full dilution occurs only in a scenario where revenue has already grown enormously.

 

In fairness, this is not unconditional dilution. Beyond shipment volumes the warrants carry share-price conditions, the final stage at $600, and as of June 27 no shares had vested under either, with the company's guided diluted count of 1.66 billion shares not reflecting them.

 

But the share-price condition is no longer distant. On October 28 AMD rose 5.45% to close at $560.26, giving a market capitalization of roughly $930 billion on about 1.66 billion diluted shares, roughly 7.1% below the $600 threshold. A single earnings move could reach it.

 

So the brief's question warrants one further extension: whether higher margin reaches the per-share line. That depends on the relative pace of margin improvement against warrant vesting, and the latter cannot be read from any margin guidance.

On October 27 AMD announced it would invest $1 billion in Meta's stock offering. The direction matters: AMD is investing in a customer rather than a customer investing in AMD, and some headlines this article checked invite the opposite reading.

 

Per the related disclosure, Meta said NVIDIA, AMD and Broadcom had expressed interest in purchasing up to $5 billion of common stock on the same terms as other investors, that the interest is not legally binding, and that each party may change or abandon its purchase. NVIDIA announced a $3 billion investment on October 26, likewise described as a conditional proposal. Meta's offering comprises $25 billion of common stock and $12.5 billion of preferred stock for $37.5 billion in total. AMD has not disclosed the share count, price or purchase date, nor whether the investment relates to new chip orders.

 

The $1 billion equals roughly 7.6% of AMD's $13,111 million in cash and short-term investments as of June 27.

 

Taken together, AMD is investing $1 billion in customer Meta's offering, has committed up to $5 billion of equity in customer Anthropic, and has issued customers OpenAI and Meta warrants for up to 160 million shares each. Each arrangement carries its own commercial logic, but collectively they produce a condition in which capital, equity and purchasing relationships between supplier and customer are intertwined, which makes revenue quality a harder question to assess than margin. This article records the structure without judging it.

 

 

The following explains the measures rather than forecasting them.

 

Q4 non-GAAP gross margin guidance ranks first and is the only genuinely new information in this release. The reason is that this quarter's 56% has already been provided, while Q4 is the first quarter in which Helios and MI450 ramp meaningfully. One analysis this article checked puts the point precisely: if the next guide holds 56% while MI450 ramps, accelerator economics look better than management has promised, and if it falls to 54% or lower, the hyperscaler agreements were bought with margin. The reference points are about 56% this quarter and 54% in Q3 2025.

 

The direction in which this quarter's actual margin deviates from 56%. Above 56% indicates the server CPU accretion outweighs the Instinct dilution, and below indicates the reverse. Since the company has stated the direction of both effects, the deviation can be read directly as mix information.

 

Deviation in operating expenses against $3.65 billion. This quarter's operating margin improvement comes entirely from expense leverage, so an overshoot offsets it directly. By the same arithmetic, holding gross margin at 56% while operating expenses rise to roughly $3.77 billion would return operating margin to about 27%, level with Q2.

 

Whether Instinct revenue is disclosed. The company has said only that Instinct sales more than doubled year over year, without a dollar figure. On the Q2 call an analyst derived roughly $30 billion of 2027 Instinct revenue from the Data Center guidance, and Su replied that the estimate was probably too low without offering a replacement. A first disclosure of Instinct's absolute revenue or share would materially change outsiders' ability to model the mix effect.

 

Whether the Helios and MI450 ramp matches the earlier description. Per Su, initial shipments begin this quarter, step up in Q4 and step up again in Q1 2027, with yields expected to improve over the next several quarters and Helios volume demand running ahead of the initial forecast. Anthropic's first gigawatt does not begin deploying until the first half of 2027 and therefore affects neither this quarter nor Q4.

 

China and MI308 were not discussed on the Q2 call. Only two points are verifiable: roughly $800 million of inventory and related charges arose in Q2 2025 from US export controls, and the Q4 2025 guidance explicitly excluded any revenue from MI308 shipments to China. Whether this quarter's guidance likewise excludes it could not be verified and is worth watching on the call.

 

Free cash flow and capital expenditure. Q2 2026 operating cash flow was $2,366 million with capital expenditure of $808 million and free cash flow of $1,558 million, against $1,788 million, $258 million and $1,530 million in Q3 2025. Capital expenditure more than tripled from $258 million to $808 million over the year while free cash flow barely moved, a relationship worth tracking through the Helios ramp.

 

For crypto assets the transmission is indirect, with AI capital expenditure expectations affecting risk appetite and large-cap technology weightings and thereby the broad pricing environment. A single company's results support no directional judgement.

 

 

A conflict of interest first. AMD has committed to a strategic equity investment in Anthropic of up to $5 billion, Anthropic plans to deploy up to 2 gigawatts of Instinct MI450 series GPUs in Helios racks, the two companies will use Claude to optimize workloads on Instinct and accelerate ROCm development, and AMD will adopt Claude across its engineering and product teams. I am Claude, made by Anthropic. I recommend a colleague independently review the passages touching Anthropic; this article's description of that transaction stays strictly within the wording of AMD's press release, and I have deliberately offered no assessment of its strategic value.

 

Now to the view. The most economical and most valuable approach here is to skip third-party estimates entirely and multiply out what AMD itself provided.

 

The company gave revenue of $13 billion, gross margin of 56%, operating expenses of $3.65 billion, other income of $55 million, a 13% tax rate and 1.66 billion shares. Working through: gross profit of $7.28 billion, less expenses for non-GAAP operating income of $3.63 billion at a margin of 27.92%; adding other income and deducting 13% tax gives net income of $3.206 billion; divided by 1.66 billion shares that is about $1.93 per share. This set is more reliable than any consensus because it is simply what the company said.

 

And it answers the brief's question cleanly. On the gross margin line, AI revenue delivers no improvement whatsoever: 56% actual in Q2, about 56% guided this quarter, flat, against revenue guided up roughly 13% sequentially. The improvement is all on the expense side: operating expenses fall from 29.4% of revenue to 28.1%, down 1.3 points, and operating margin rises from 26.8% to about 27.9%. Year over year, expenses up 32.5% against revenue up 40.6%, a gap of roughly eight points, which is the entire content of the CFO's statement that expenses would grow more slowly than revenue.

 

The reason needs no speculation from me because the CFO stated it: data center AI gross margin runs slightly below the corporate average, while server CPU is accretive. Then look at the structure: Data Center's share rose from 46.9% to 58.2%, and within the segment the mix tilts from accretive CPUs toward slightly lower-margin Instinct. So margin being held down is not a pricing failure but the arithmetic of mix. The direction is what I want to stress: the MI450 ramp is a near-term suppressant on gross margin, not a lever for it. The company flagged this in May, and after the Q2 report the shares fell as much as 8% after hours, erasing a 7.7% regular-session gain, on exactly this point rather than on the results.

 

There is a misreading to head off here. Segment margins genuinely are expanding: Data Center operating margin rose from 24.7% to 31.3%, up 6.6 points. That does not conflict with consolidated gross margin being held flat, because the measures differ. Instinct's profile is gross margin slightly below average but accretive to operating margin once at scale, as research and selling expenses spread across a larger base. So the brief's question needs answering by measure: converting into higher operating margin, yes; into higher gross margin, no.

 

A measurement trap worth noting in passing. Q2's three segments' operating income totals $3.071 billion while consolidated GAAP operating income is only $1.990 billion, the difference being a $1.081 billion operating loss under "all other" that mainly carries stock compensation and acquisition intangible amortization. Citing segment income without deducting it materially overstates company profitability.

 

On third-party estimates, I did not use the widely circulated preview I checked, for a specific reason. It gives net income of $3.202 billion and earnings per share of $1.42. The net income is nearly identical to my guidance-derived $3.206 billion, but $3.202 billion divided by the company's guided 1.66 billion shares is $1.93, not $1.42; reaching $1.42 would require roughly 2.255 billion shares, far above the diluted count the company provided. It lists a year-ago base of $8.759 billion against AMD's actual Q3 2025 revenue of $9.246 billion, and a sequential per-share comparison of $1.04 against AMD's actual Q2 figures of $1.38 GAAP and $1.66 non-GAAP. Wrong base, wrong growth rates throughout. Before citing any consensus, check its base against a quarter the company has actually reported. That step is not optional.

 

Finally the layer the brief omits, which I consider more consequential than margin. AMD issued OpenAI and Meta warrants for up to 160 million shares each at an exercise price of $0.01, a combined 320 million shares equal to roughly 19.6% of shares outstanding. Vesting is tied to precisely the GPU shipments that drive this revenue. To be fair: this is not unconditional dilution, since beyond volumes there are share-price conditions with the final stage at $600, no shares had vested under either warrant as of June 27, and the guided 1.66 billion share count does not reflect them.

 

But the share-price condition is no longer distant. On October 28 AMD rose 5.45% to close at $560.26, roughly 7.1% below $600, which a single earnings move could cover. So the question extends one step further: whether margin improvement reaches the per-share line depends on the relative pace of that improvement against warrant vesting, and not a word of the latter appears in any margin guidance.

 

One flow in the opposite direction nearly caught me out on a headline, so a note for the desk: AMD is investing $1 billion in Meta's stock offering, not Meta investing in AMD. NVIDIA announced $3 billion on October 26, both described as conditional and not legally binding. AMD's $1 billion is roughly 7.6% of its $13.111 billion in cash and short-term investments. Lining these up, $1 billion into customer Meta's offering, up to $5 billion committed to customer Anthropic, and warrants for up to 160 million shares each to customers OpenAI and Meta, the resulting condition is one where capital, equity and purchasing relationships between supplier and customer are intertwined. I record the structure without judging it, particularly since one of the parties is Anthropic.

 

If I could watch only one figure it would be the Q4 gross margin guide. This quarter's 56% is already given and carries no new information; Q4 is the first quarter where Helios and MI450 ramp meaningfully. Holding 56% would mean accelerator economics are better than management has promised. Falling to 54% or lower would mean those hyperscaler agreements were bought with margin. That one sentence matters far more than three decimal places in the quarter just ended.

 

 

 

AMD reports after the US close on Tuesday November 3, with the conference call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern and 2:00 p.m. Pacific, corresponding to 06:00 Singapore time on November 4. Note that US daylight saving time ends on November 1, so November 3 falls in standard time and conversions should use standard time.

 

 

On the Q2 call, CFO Jean Hu guided to revenue of about $13 billion plus or minus $300 million, with the midpoint implying 41% year-over-year and about 13% sequential growth, non-GAAP gross margin of about 56%, non-GAAP operating expenses of about $3.65 billion, non-GAAP other income and expense of about $55 million, a non-GAAP tax rate of 13%, and a diluted share count of about 1.66 billion. Segment direction was Data Center and Embedded up strong double digits sequentially, Client up slightly, and Gaming down significantly. Against the Q3 2025 base of $9,246 million, the guided range corresponds to growth of 37.4% to 43.8%.

 

 

About $1.93 on a non-GAAP basis. The calculation runs: $13,000 million revenue times 56% gross margin gives gross profit of $7,280 million; less operating expenses of $3,650 million gives non-GAAP operating income of $3,630 million for a margin of about 27.92%; plus other income of $55 million gives pre-tax income of $3,685 million; times one minus the 13% tax rate gives net income of $3,206 million; divided by 1,660 million shares gives about $1.93. That is roughly 16.3% above Q2's $1.66 and roughly 60.8% above Q3 2025's $1.20.

 

 

The answer differs by measure. Not at the gross margin line: this quarter's gross margin guidance of about 56% is level with the Q2 actual while revenue is guided up about 13% sequentially. Yes at the operating margin line: the guidance implies about 27.9% against Q2's 26.8%, with the improvement coming entirely from operating expenses falling from 29.4% of revenue to 28.1%. At segment level it is also expanding, with Data Center operating margin rising from 24.7% in Q3 2025 to 31.3% in Q2 2026.

 

 

CFO Jean Hu explained on the Q2 call that data center AI gross margin runs slightly below the corporate average while server CPU growth is accretive, and that gross margin is driven mainly by business mix. Data Center's share of revenue has risen from 46.9% to 58.2%, and within that segment the mix is shifting from margin-accretive server CPUs toward slightly lower-margin Instinct, so the mix effect suppresses consolidated gross margin. That means the MI450 ramp is a near-term suppressant on gross margin rather than a lever for it.

 

 

Because the measures differ. Consolidated gross margin takes revenue less cost of sales only, while segment operating margin takes segment revenue less the costs and expenses allocated to it, capturing the dilution of fixed costs across a larger base. Instinct's profile is gross margin slightly below the corporate average but accretive to operating margin at scale. Note also that Q2's three segments' operating income totalled $3,071 million against consolidated GAAP operating income of $1,990 million, with the difference being a $1,081 million operating loss under "all other," so citing segment income without deducting it overstates company profitability.

 

 

AMD issued warrants to OpenAI and to Meta for up to 160 million shares each at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, a combined 320 million shares equal to roughly 19.6% of the 1,632.47 million shares outstanding as of July 29, or roughly 16.4% of the 1,952.47 million outstanding after full exercise. Vesting is tied to GPU shipments, with Meta's first stage on shipping 1 gigawatt and full vesting at 6 gigawatts, and each stage carrying a share-price condition with the final one at $600. Neither warrant had any vested shares as of June 27, and the guided 1.66 billion share count does not reflect them. AMD closed at $560.26 on October 28, roughly 7.1% below the $600 threshold.

 

 

Non-GAAP gross margin. This quarter's roughly 56% has already been provided and carries no new information, while Q4 is the first quarter in which Helios and MI450 ramp meaningfully. A Q4 guide holding 56% through that ramp would indicate accelerator economics better than management has previously signalled, while a guide at 54% or lower would indicate the hyperscaler agreements came at the cost of margin. The reference points are about 56% this quarter and 54% in Q3 2025.

This article is a preview written before the results were published, verified on October 29, 2026 Singapore time, at which point AMD's fiscal third quarter 2026 results had not been released; all figures herein are previously published historical data, company guidance or third-party information, and none constitutes a forecast of actual results. The implied operating income, operating margin and earnings per share derived in this article are arithmetic constructions from the components of AMD's public guidance rather than figures the company disclosed directly, and because those components themselves carry the word "about" or are stated as ranges, the derived results carry corresponding uncertainty and actual results may differ materially. This article does not use the growth rates or base figures from one widely circulated third-party quarterly preview, because its stated year-ago base, sequential per-share comparison and earnings per share figure cannot be reconciled with AMD's actual reported Q3 2025 and Q2 2026 results or with the diluted share count in the company's guidance, as set out in the body; readers should verify any third-party consensus against the company's own disclosures before citing it. Non-GAAP measures are not equivalent to GAAP measures, with bridging items including stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and Q2 2026 segment operating income in aggregate differs from consolidated GAAP operating income by a $1,081 million operating loss reported under "all other." The CFO's statement that data center AI gross margin runs slightly below the corporate average comes from a call transcript that renders "corporate" as "copper" at that point, and this article cites it according to its evident meaning. On the OpenAI and Meta warrants, the sources this article checked do not address the OpenAI warrant's contractual purchase obligation or expiry, which are marked as unverified; vesting depends on shipment volumes, share prices and other conditions, no shares had vested under either as of June 27, 2026, and whether and when dilution occurs is uncertain. AMD's $1 billion investment in Meta's stock offering runs from AMD into Meta rather than the reverse, the stated interest is per the disclosure not legally binding and may be changed or abandoned by any party, and AMD has not disclosed the share count, price or purchase date. Product roadmap statements, 2027 growth targets and revenue-per-gigawatt figures come from management statements on the earnings call, are forward-looking and subject to multiple risks. China and MI308 were not discussed on the Q2 call, with only the approximately $800 million of Q2 2025 inventory and related charges and the Q4 2025 guidance's explicit exclusion of MI308 revenue from China being verifiable; whether this quarter's guidance likewise excludes it could not be verified. Share price and market capitalization figures are as of October 28 and change continuously with the market. One source page returned a client error during verification and could not be read. Transmission between a single company's results and crypto asset prices is indirect and subject to multiple uncertainties, and no single data point supports a directional judgement. Crypto asset prices are highly volatile and leveraged products can produce losses exceeding the initial outlay. Readers should consult the original results, call materials and securities filings published on AMD's investor relations pages before making any decision, judge against their own financial circumstances, investment objectives and risk tolerance, and consult a qualified professional where appropriate.
