Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2025, AMD expects to make around $9.6 billion in revenue, give or take $300 million. This would be about 25% higher than the same time last year and 4% more than the previous quarter.
They also expect their profit margin (excluding certain costs) to be about 54.5%. This estimate doesn’t include any sales of their Instinct MI308 chips to China.
Boards Statements
AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su, reported a standout quarter, achieving record revenue and profitability driven by strong demand for its high-performance EPYC and Ryzen processors, as well as its Instinct AI accelerators.
She highlighted the company’s third-quarter performance and optimistic fourth-quarter outlook as clear indicators of AMD’s accelerating growth, fueled by its expanding compute portfolio and rapidly scaling data center AI business.
Jean Hu, executive vice president, CFO, and treasurer, noted that AMD delivered record quarterly revenue of $9.2 billion, up 36% year-over-year, and achieved record free cash flow.
She emphasized that the results reflect the strength of AMD’s product leadership and disciplined execution. Hu added that ongoing investments in AI and high-performance computing are driving substantial growth and positioning the company for long-term value creation.
Impact on the Stock Market
Despite delivering record-breaking third-quarter earnings, AMD reported $9.2 billion in revenue, up 36% year-over-year, along with strong profitability and free cash flow.
However, shares fell nearly 4% following the announcement, as investors reacted to stretched valuations and signs of cooling momentum in the broader tech sector.
Analysts pointed to AMD’s high price-to-earnings ratio and the absence of revenue from China-bound Instinct MI308 GPU shipments as factors contributing to the pullback. Even with solid guidance for Q4 and expanding AI partnerships, including major deals with OpenAI and Oracle, market sentiment remained cautious.
While AMD’s fundamentals are strong, its stock may be vulnerable to short-term corrections amid broader concerns about an overheated AI rally and tech valuations.
