Advanced Micro Devices reports third-quarter results Tuesday after the market closes, with CEO Lisa Su addressing investors after an 18% decline across two trading sessions. The decline came after Intel issued a weak earnings outlook. Intel warned that higher memory prices were weakening demand for personal computers. Worries about AI spending also pressured semiconductor shares. Analysts project earnings of $1.95 per share and revenue of $13.09 billion, a 42% increase from a year earlier.
Kalshi markets price a Helios mention at 97%. Kalshi markets assign an 86% probability to a mention of OpenAI or ChatGPT. Helios integrates AI chips, processors, networking and software into complete data-center racks, competing with Nvidia's approach. Meta is testing Helios already. OpenAI plans to start operating Helios this quarter, making deployment progress an important question for Su.
Kalshi markets assign a 97% probability to an inference mention. Model operating costs are becoming increasingly important as AI chatbots and agents process more requests. AMD agreed in August to buy Taalas, whose specialized chips promise substantially faster and cheaper AI responses by embedding models directly in silicon. Kalshi markets price a mention of memory or HBM at 96%. AMD finance chief Jean Hu warned that shortages of high-bandwidth memory and other components could delay AI-system deliveries.
Kalshi markets assign a 92% probability to a Meta mention. Meta agreed to deploy up to six gigawatts of AMD GPUs, with warrants covering up to 160 million AMD shares linked to shipment and other milestones. Kalshi markets price an agentic AI mention at 90%. AMD introduced Helion in October as a distinct platform for AI agents that perform tasks. Configurations developed by partners are expected this month.
Kalshi markets assign an 80% probability to a mention of Microsoft or Azure. Microsoft plans to deploy Helios on Azure. AMD expects shipments to increase through the fourth quarter and into 2027. Kalshi markets price an Oracle mention at 71%. Oracle announced plans last week for cloud services using AMD's next-generation EPYC processors, with no launch date disclosed.
Kalshi markets assign a 23% probability to a mention of export restrictions or export controls. However, Kalshi markets price a China mention at 62%. US restrictions on chip exports make access to China's market more difficult for AMD. Kalshi markets assign a 20% probability to a TSMC mention. AMD depends on TSMC for advanced-chip manufacturing, although Su could address capacity limits without identifying TSMC. Kalshi markets price a Nvidia mention at 11%. Traders expect Su to emphasize AMD's progress despite Nvidia's dominance in AI accelerators.
AMD has secured large AI agreements with OpenAI, Meta and other customers, and investors now want evidence that those commitments are generating sales. Jefferies projects fourth-quarter revenue of $17 billion, against a Wall Street consensus of $16.3 billion. Exceeding estimates alone may not satisfy investors. AMD beat forecasts in August, but AMD shares initially dropped nearly 9% in after-hours trading. Benzinga Pro options data indicate an expected share-price move of 10.85%, equivalent to roughly $83 billion at Monday's closing valuation. Su faces the test of whether AMD can generate sufficient AI revenue to support investor expectations.
