Aime SummaryAdvanced Micro Devices reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 6, 2025, delivering robust results with a significant increase in revenue and net income. The company beat earnings and revenue expectations, and raised its forward guidance, reflecting strong demand for its computing and AI products.
Revenue
Advanced Micro Devices reported total revenue of $7.68 billion for the quarter, a 31.7% increase compared to $5.83 billion in the same period a year ago. The Data Center segment led with $3.24 billion in revenue, reflecting strong server processor demand. The Client and Gaming segment followed closely with $3.62 billion in revenue, driven by robust performance across PCs and gaming platforms. The Embedded segment generated $824 million in revenue, while the All Other category reported $0. Collectively, these segments highlight the company’s broad-based growth across key markets.
Earnings/Net Income
Earnings per share (EPS) surged 237.5% year-over-year to $0.54 in Q2 2025 from $0.16 in Q2 2024. Meanwhile, the company’s net income reached $872 million, a 229.1% increase from $265 million in the prior-year quarter. These figures underscore a significant improvement in profitability and operational efficiency.
Price Action
AMD’s stock price edged down 1.83% during the latest trading day and declined further by 1.76% over the most recent full trading week. However, it posted a strong month-to-date gain of 26.39%, reflecting continued investor confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.
Post Earnings Price Action Review
A strategic approach of purchasing shares after a revenue increase and holding for 30 days has proven highly effective in recent years. This method generated a 102.96% return over the past three years, far outperforming the 48.58% benchmark return. The strategy demonstrated a compelling 27.68% CAGR and a Sharpe ratio of 0.56, showcasing both strong risk-adjusted returns and consistent performance. The lack of drawdowns and the high excess return of 54.37% further validate the strength of this earnings-driven approach.
CEO Commentary
Dr. Lisa Su, AMD’s Chair and CEO, emphasized the company’s strong revenue growth driven by record server and PC processor sales. She highlighted robust demand across computing and AI products and expressed optimism for second-half growth, fueled by the AMD Instinct MI350 series accelerators and ongoing gains in EPYC and Ryzen processor adoption.
Guidance
AMD expects significant growth in the second half of 2025, driven by the ramp of AMD Instinct MI350 series accelerators and continued momentum in EPYC and Ryzen processor adoption. However, the U.S. export controls on MI308 products remain a near-term headwind.
Additional News
In a separate report, AMD’s shares fell over 6% in after-hours trading following the earnings release, despite the company delivering revenue above expectations. The drop was attributed to concerns over export restrictions and a high valuation, as the stock had risen over 44% year-to-date. AMD reported an adjusted EPS of $0.48, slightly below the $0.49 expected by analysts, while revenue of $7.69 billion exceeded the $7.42 billion forecast. The company cited export-related costs for its 43% adjusted gross margin, noting it would have been 54% without those factors. For the current quarter, AMD projects revenue of $8.7 billion, plus or minus $3 billion, higher than the $8.3 billion expected. AMD also announced its Instinct MI400 AI chip, set for release in 2026, with OpenAI pledging to use the new GPU. Additionally, CEO Lisa Su noted that the MI350 AI chip could enter production earlier than anticipated and compete with NVIDIA’s GB200. However, U.S. export restrictions on the MI308 have impacted AMD, costing $800 million in Q2 and remaining a factor in its current outlook. Beyond AI, AMD’s CPU business for traditional servers posted $3.2 billion in revenue, up 14% year-over-year, as demand grew for CPUs used in AI-driven servers. The Client and Gaming segment also performed well, with $36 billion in revenue, a 69% increase, driven by strong demand for Ryzen Zen 5 desktop CPUs and gaming GPUs.
