What Happened to AMD Stock?

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) fell about 7% in premarket trading late last week, as the company issued a weaker first-quarter revenue forecast despite solid full-year 2025 performance.

Specifically, late on February 3, 2026, AMD forecast first-quarter revenue between about $9.5 billion and $10.1 billion, compared with $10.27 billion in Q4.

CEO Lisa Su reiterated that next-generation AI server demand, including shipments to OpenAI, should accelerate in the second half, with memory supply not limiting production.

However, the market appeared to focus on near-term AI momentum and revenue quality, given China-licensed AI chip sales that contributed $390 million in Q4.

Reuters even noted that excluding those China-bound shipments, AMD’s data center segment would have missed Q4 estimates, reinforcing concerns around customer concentration.

AMD’s late January trading occurred alongside the release of full-year 2025 results showing record revenue of $34.6 billion and sustained margin expansion across both GAAP and non-GAAP measures.

Fourth-quarter revenue reached $10.3 billion, with non-GAAP operating margin rising to 28%, reflecting continued strength in data center CPUs and accelerating AI platform adoption.

Management also disclosed that approximately $390 million of fourth-quarter data center revenue came from China-bound MI308 shipments approved under a U.S. export license.

For the first quarter of 2026, AMD guided revenue to a range of $9.5 billion to $10.1 billion which implies a modest sequential decline but continued year-over-year growth above 30%.

AMD Guided Valuation Model (TIKR)

China-licensed AI chip sales boosted Q4, but how dependent is AMD’s valuation on normalized data center demand? Model it on TIKR for free →

Is AMD Stock Fairly Valued Right Now?

Under the valuation model shown, the stock is modeled using:

  • Revenue Growth: 32.9%
  • Operating Margins: 25.5%
  • Exit P/E Multiple: 33x

Advanced Micro Devices stock appears to be undervalued, conditional on valuation assumptions holding through December 2028 and execution matching modeled expectations.

The assumptions include 32.9% revenue CAGR, operating margins expanding to 25.5%, and a stable 33.0x exit P/E multiple.

The valuation implies a $478 target price with roughly 97% total upside and about 26% annualized returns if assumptions hold.

AMD stock depends on sustained data center growth second-half AI server ramps broader customer diversification and margin leverage across scaled AI and CPU platforms.

Nevertheless, Advanced Micro Devices stock remains sensitive to near-term volatility, customer concentration risk, and AI monetization timing, keeping outcomes dependent on delivery rather than certainty.
