The company was incorporated in 1969 and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
Revenue breakdown营收构成 share of revenue营收占比
AMD's server processors (EPYC) and AI accelerator chips (Instinct) that run cloud computing and AI workloads for hyperscale data centres. This is AMD's largest and fastest-growing segment, competing directly against NVIDIA in AI chips and against Intel in server processors. Growth here tracks the industry-wide buildout of AI infrastructure.AMD的服务器处理器（EPYC）和AI加速芯片（Instinct），为超大规模数据中心运行云计算和AI工作负载。这是AMD最大、增长最快的部门，在AI芯片领域直接对抗NVIDIA，在服务器处理器领域对抗Intel。该部门的增长与全行业AI基础设施建设的步伐一致。
Ryzen processors that go inside laptops and desktop computers sold to consumers and businesses. Demand rises and falls with PC replacement cycles, so this segment is more cyclical than Data Center, but a return to office-refresh and AI-PC upgrade cycles has driven strong recent growth.锐龙（Ryzen）处理器，用于面向消费者和企业销售的笔记本电脑和台式电脑。需求随PC更换周期起伏，因此该部门比数据中心部门更具周期性，但办公室换机潮和AI PC升级周期的回归带动了近期的强劲增长。
Radeon graphics cards for gaming PCs, plus the custom semi-custom chips AMD designs into the PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Console chip sales follow the multi-year hardware cycle of each console generation, so this segment can swing sharply between console launch years and the quieter years in between.面向游戏PC的Radeon显卡，以及AMD为PlayStation和Xbox游戏机设计的定制芯片。游戏机芯片销售随每一代主机的多年硬件周期而变化，因此该部门在主机发布年份和平静年份之间可能大幅波动。
Adaptive and FPGA chips, gained through the 2022 Xilinx acquisition, that are built into industrial equipment, automotive systems, and networking gear rather than consumer devices. These chips run on longer product cycles than PCs or phones, giving revenue more stability, but that same slow replacement cycle also means growth lags AMD's other segments.通过2022年收购Xilinx获得的自适应芯片和FPGA芯片，内置于工业设备、汽车系统和网络设备，而非消费电子产品。这些芯片的产品周期比PC或手机更长，使收入更稳定，但同样缓慢的更换周期也意味着增长落后于AMD的其他部门。

📋 ANALYZED 8/27 — first file ever. WATCH. Spot sits AT/ABOVE the top of fair value. Advanced Micro Devices — x86 CPUs (EPYC/Ryzen), Instinct AI accelerators, and the Xilinx FPGA franchise. 🔍 Not 32.2x — that was a full fiscal year out. The real ladder: 63x FY2026 non-GAAP ~43x NTM 30.9x only on FY2027 (Yahoo's epsCurrentYear $7.57 vs epsForward $15.45) → [[pitfall-vendor-forward-eps-is-the-wrong-fiscal-year]]. 🚨 THE LARGEST FACT ON THIS NAME IS IN NO PUBLISHED MULTIPLE: 320M warrants at a $0.01 strike issued to OpenAI and Meta — 16.2% of the post-issue company, ~$152B at spot — plus $4.1B of guarantees on customer datacenter leases. The 10-Q states no tranche has vested and the warrants "had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements." Vesting is tied to Instinct purchase milestones and a reported ~$600 share-price target, so the bull case is what triggers the dilution → [[pattern-customer-warrants-are-contra-revenue-that-buys-the-backlog]]. Fully diluted, FY2026 is 75x and FY2027 36.8x.
What's working
- The CPU franchise is genuinely winning, and it passed the falsification test: Mercury Q2-26 x86 34.1% overall / 34.5% server / 28.9% mobile (+8.4pt) — Intel added mobile capacity and still lost share, so this is product, not shortage → updates [[pattern-shortage-pricing-masks-share-loss]]
- Embedded 39.5% op margin — best moat, but only 8.5% of revenue.
- Q3 guide ~$13.0B actually BEAT the $12.5B consensus — the −7.0% on 8/05 was the flat 56% gross-margin guide, not a revenue miss (correcting this file's own prior note)
- 2027 Data Center guided to more than double; Su called a $30B Instinct estimate too low
Red flags
- ROIC 4.5% FY2025, ~8% TTM on an asset base 49% goodwill + acquisition intangibles ($41.1B, amortising $544M/qtr)
- Q2-26 net margin 19.9% EXCEEDED operating margin 17.3% — $598M of non-operating income = 24% of the $1.38 GAAP EPS; operating-only EPS ~$1.05 → [[pattern-net-margin-above-operating-margin-is-a-tripwire]] [[pitfall-unrealized-equity-marks-break-headline-pe]]. The GAAP gross-margin jump 40%→54% is the absence of last year's $800M MI308 charge, not leverage — comparable non-GAAP was +200bps
- SBC $1.90B vs buybacks $1.18B; diluted shares still +1.8% YoY before any warrant
- ~11% of CoWoS vs Nvidia's ~60% — the ceiling is allocation, not orders; 56% gross margin vs Nvidia's ~73%. Nvidia Data Center $89.0B vs AMD's $6.7B including EPYC
- Meta and OpenAI are simultaneously AMD's warrant-holding anchors and two of Broadcom's six XPU customers.
- P/S 18.8x — 70% above AMD's own prior peak; −18.5% off high but +219% off low → [[pattern-ai-levered-fields-trade-above-own-band]]
Watch
- Every firm raised targets post-print and almost nobody upgraded — MS Equal-Weight $465, below spot; JPM and RBC stayed neutral
- Zero insider buys in 12 months; five officers sold ~$41.8M in the 14 sessions after the print. Reverse-DCF: 28.1%/yr FCF for a decade → $99.6B in year 10, more than Nvidia earns today. FV $380-480 (central $430). Entry $330-380, strong buy <$300. Trim $545 (≈42x FY2027 non-GAAP fully diluted — dollar form deliberately: the site would back out EPS $15.45 from
forwardPE30.85, which is both the wrong year AND excludes all 320M warrant shares, soTrim 40x fwdwould render $618) → [[pitfall-multiple-trim-inherits-the-broken-vendor-field]] - Same bucket as ANET/AVGO/KLAC — and ANET is the better half of the same bet. ⏳ Q3 print 2026-11-03 — the first quarter a Meta tranche could vest.
📋 8/27 已分析 —— 有史以来第一份文件。 观望（WATCH）。 现价位于合理价值区间的顶部或以上。 ** Advanced Micro Devices —— x86 处理器（EPYC/Ryzen）、Instinct AI 加速器，以及 Xilinx FPGA 业务。 🔍 不是 32.2x —— 那是整整往后一个财年的数字。 真实的估值阶梯是：FY2026 非 GAAP 63x 未来十二个月约 43x 只有按 FY2027 才是 30.9x（雅虎的 epsCurrentYear 是 $7.57，而 epsForward 是 $15.45）→ [[pitfall-vendor-forward-eps-is-the-wrong-fiscal-year]]。 🚨 这家公司最重要的事实没有出现在任何公开的估值倍数里：AMD 向 OpenAI 和 Meta 发行了 320M 份行权价 $0.01 的认股权证 —— 相当于发行后公司的 16.2%，按现价约 $152B —— 另有 $4.1B 对客户数据中心租约的担保。 10-Q 明确写道，没有任何一批已归属，这些权证「对合并简明财务报表没有影响」。 ** 归属条件挂钩 Instinct 采购里程碑以及一个据报道约 $600 的股价目标，所以看多情形本身就是触发稀释的条件 → [[pattern-customer-warrants-are-contra-revenue-that-buys-the-backlog]]。 完全稀释后，FY2026 是 75x，FY2027 是 36.8x。 🚩 FY2025 的 ROIC 只有 4.5%，TTM 约 8%，而资产里 49% 是商誉加收购无形资产（$41.1B，每季度摊销 $544M）。 🚩 2026 年第二季度净利润率 19.9% 超过了营业利润率 17.3% —— $598M 的非经营性收入占了 $1.38 GAAP 每股收益的 24%；只算经营部分的每股收益约 $1.05 → [[pattern-net-margin-above-operating-margin-is-a-tripwire]] [[pitfall-unrealized-equity-marks-break-headline-pe]]。 GAAP 毛利率从 40% 跳到 54%，原因是去年同期 $800M 的 MI308 减值消失了，不是经营杠杆 —— 可比口径的非 GAAP 毛利率只提升了 200 个基点。 🚩 股权激励费用 $1.90B 大于回购 $1.18B；在任何权证之前，摊薄股数同比就已经增加 1.8%。 ** 🚩 AMD 只拿到约 11% 的 CoWoS 封装产能，英伟达约 60% —— 天花板是产能分配，不是订单；毛利率 56%，英伟达约 73%。 ** 英伟达数据中心收入 $89.0B，AMD 只有 $6.7B，而且这里面还包含 EPYC。 🚩 Meta 和 OpenAI 既是 AMD 持有权证的锚定客户，也是博通六家 XPU 客户中的两家。 ** 🚩 市销率 18.8x —— 比 AMD 自己历史最高读数还高 70%；距高点 −18.5%，但距低点 +219% → [[pattern-ai-levered-fields-trade-above-own-band]]。 ✅ 处理器业务是真的在赢，而且通过了证伪测试： Mercury 2026 年第二季度 x86 份额 整体 34.1% / 服务器 34.5% / 移动端 28.9%（+8.4 个百分点） —— 英特尔增加了移动端产能，份额还是丢了，所以这是产品力，不是缺货 → 更新 [[pattern-shortage-pricing-masks-share-loss]]。 ✅ 嵌入式业务营业利润率 39.5%，护城河最好，但只占收入的 8.5%。 ** ✅ 第三季度指引 约 $13.0B，其实超过了 $12.5B 的市场预期 —— 8/05 跌 7.0% 是因为毛利率指引持平在 56%，不是收入不及预期（此处更正本文件先前的说法）。 ✅ 2027 年数据中心业务指引为翻倍以上；苏姿丰说 $30B 的 Instinct 收入估计太低了。 ⚠️ 财报后每家机构都上调了目标价，却几乎没有人上调评级 —— 摩根士丹利维持 Equal-Weight，目标价 $465，低于现价；摩根大通和 RBC 都维持中性。 ⚠️ 过去 12 个月没有任何内部人买入；财报后的 14 个交易日里有五位高管卖出约 $41.8M。 反向现金流折现：自由现金流需要以 28.1% 的年复合增速持续十年 → 第十年达到 $99.6B，比英伟达今天赚的还多。 ** 合理价值 $380-480（中值 $430）。 加仓区间 $330-380，强烈买入 <$300。 减仓 $545（约等于完全稀释后 FY2027 非 GAAP 的 42 倍 —— 刻意写成美元金额：网站会用 forwardPE 30.85 倒算出每股收益 $15.45，而这个数字既是错误的财年，又完全没有计入 320M 份权证，所以写成「40x fwd」会渲染成 $618）→ [[pitfall-multiple-trim-inherits-the-broken-vendor-field]]。 ⚠️ 与 ANET/AVGO/KLAC 属于同一个板块 —— 而在同一笔押注里，ANET 是更好的那一半。 ** ⏳ 第三季度财报 2026-11-03 —— 这是 Meta 那批权证可能首次归属的季度。 ** A2026-08-27**

A strong processor-design franchise on TSMC's leading-edge factories drove EPYC into large, sticky data-centre share. The weakness is honest: AMD owns no factories, so it depends on TSMC for supply, and in AI chips it is the challenger to NVIDIA, whose software is a deeper moat.依托 TSMC 最先进的工厂，一个强大的处理器设计业务把 EPYC 推进了庞大而黏性很强的数据中心市场。它的短板也很坦白：AMD 自己没有工厂，所以在供应上依赖 TSMC；而在AI芯片上，它是 NVIDIA 的挑战者，而 NVIDIA 的软件是一道更深的护城河。
