Huo Xing Finance reports that on August 5, AMD released its second-quarter 2026 financial results. Data shows that the company’s data center business revenue reached $6.72 billion, a 107% year-over-year increase and approximately a 15.6% sequential increase, becoming the primary driver of performance growth. AMD’s total second-quarter revenue was $11.54 billion, up 50% year-over-year and setting a new record, exceeding market expectations of $11.28 billion; adjusted earnings per share were $1.66, surpassing analyst estimates of $1.62. For the third quarter, AMD forecasts revenue of approximately $13 billion, with a ±$300 million range, above the market expectation of $12.52 billion; adjusted gross margin is expected to be around 56%. In the AI segment, AMD is accelerating its challenge to NVIDIA’s leadership in the AI chip market. CEO Lisa Su stated that the second-generation Helios AI server, equipped with the MI455X accelerator and TSMC’s “Venice” processor, has entered full-scale production and is expected to begin shipping in the coming months. According to reports, AMD will start delivering relevant AI servers to Meta and OpenAI by the end of this quarter. However, after the earnings announcement, AMD’s stock fell more than 9% in after-hours trading. The market believes that despite strong financial results and a stock price that has doubled this year, investors are seeking higher growth expectations and stronger guidance for the AI business. Additionally, AMD’s gaming business revenue declined 31% year-over-year to $779 million in the second quarter, primarily due to lower sales of Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and Steam Deck, as well as component supply constraints.
