-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
AMD posted Q1 revenue growth of 38% to $10.3B vs 33% expected, with EPS of $1.37 (+43%) exceeding $1.29 consensus. Data Center segment revenue of $5.8B (+57%) exceeded expectations and now represents 56% of sales, highlighting AI infrastructure transformation. We are encouraged by strengthening customer engagement for MI450 Series and Helios rack-scale solutions, with forecasts exceeding initial expectations and the Meta partnership validating AMD's AI roadmap through plans to deploy up to 6GW of Instinct GPUs. Q2 guidance of $11.2B (+46%) beats expectations of $10.5B, reflecting product roadmap confidence. Gross margin of 55% (+1pt) and record free cash flow of $2.6B (25% margin) demonstrate AMD's ability to convert earnings growth while funding strategic investments. We believe server growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully as AMD scales supply to meet demand, with increasing visibility into growth trajectory from large-scale deployment pipeline.
