AMD Stock Skyrockets After Topping Estimates

AMD stock price soared more than 10% in post-market trading as the company easily topped both revenue and earnings estimates for the second quarter. Stronger than expected third-quarter guidance added to investor’s sentiments.

Its second-quarter revenue of $1.93 billion increased 26% from the past year period, beating the consensus estimate by $70 million.

The revenue growth is driven by strong computing and graphics sales of $1.37B, representing an increase of 45% Y/Y. Record notebook and server processor revenue helped Ryzen and Epyc revenue to double compared to the past year period.

Moreover, the company has painted a bright outlook for the rest of the year.

For the full year, AMD forecasts revenue growth around 32% from the past year, thanks to robust revenue growth from gaming, and data center products.
