,
and earnings per share that beat expectations.
But in "Wall Street" language, the result was a sharp drop in stock value of over 8%.
Why does the market punish a successful company?
The truth is, we've moved from the "infatuation" phase with AI to the "proof of trajectory" phase.
Today’s investors are no longer buying "current results," but "promises for 2027."
There are three pillars explaining this contradiction:
Expectation Gap:
Despite a 39% growth in the data center sector,
it still falls short of the ambitious target set by management for a 60% compound growth.
The market doesn't forgive those who set a high ceiling and only touch it without surpassing it by significant margins.
MI450 Bet:
AMD's real story now isn't in its current processors,
but in the MI450 system and the Helios platform expected to launch in the second half of 2026.
Any delay or uncertainty in the production schedule immediately re-prices the risks.
Chinese Market Uncertainty:
Part of the "excellence" in profits came from unexpected sales of MI308 chips to China.
When the market realizes that growth is driven by temporary opportunities or "exceptional points,"
it discounts this value from the long-term valuation.
Summary:
What we are seeing isn't a failure for AMD,
but a "restructuring" of investor expectations for the entire semiconductor sector.
The market is beginning to differentiate between companies that "sell equipment"
and those that "build the integrated infrastructure" for AI.
In the investment world, sometimes silence or caution about future expectations has a stronger impact than the noise of current earnings.
Share your opinion:
Do you see AMD's decline as an opportunity to enter,
or have AI company valuations become so demanding that only "miracles" can stabilize them?
