With a market cap of $224.4 billion, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is a global semiconductor leader offering a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance and adaptive computing solutions, including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and adaptive SoCs. With deep software expertise and a focus on innovation, AMD powers next-generation computing platforms across data center, cloud, gaming, embedded, and edge applications.

The Santa Clara, California-based company is slated to announce its fiscal Q2 2025 earnings results after the market closes on Tuesday, Aug. 5. Ahead of this event, analysts expect AMD to report an EPS of $0.35, down 30% from $0.50 in the year-ago quarter. However, it has exceeded or met Wall Street’s earnings expectations in the past four quarters.

For fiscal 2025, analysts expect the chipmaker to report EPS of $3.17, marking a growth of nearly 21% from $2.62 in fiscal 2024. Moreover, EPS is anticipated to surge 53.6% year-over-year to $4.87 in fiscal 2026.

AMD stock has decreased 22.2% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the broader S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 12.3% return and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLK) 8.7% rise over the same period.

Shares of AMD rose 1.8% following its Q1 2025 results on May 6 due to stronger-than-expected revenue and optimism around AI growth despite export curbs to China. The company reported a 36% year-over-year increase in total revenue to $7.4 billion, surpassing analyst expectations, with data center sales rising 57% to $3.7 billion, also above estimates. AMD also beat earnings estimates, posting an adjusted EPS of $0.96. Additionally, its Q2 revenue forecast of approximately $7.4 billion (±$300 million) topped Wall Street projections, driven in part by accelerated chip purchases ahead of U.S. export restrictions.

Analysts’ consensus view on Advanced Micro Devices stock remains moderately optimistic, with a “Moderate Buy” rating overall. Out of 42 analysts covering the stock, 28 recommend a “Strong Buy,” two “Moderate Buys,” and 12 “Holds.” As of writing, the stock is trading above the average analyst price target of $134.86.
