Nvidia Corporation's strong outlook and favorable tariff ruling has boosted semiconductor sentiment, mitigating China headwinds and supporting sector resilience. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.'s Q1 results and ongoing data center momentum reinforce confidence in its core business, despite cyclical and competitive challenges. AI growth remains AMD's key catalyst; upcoming investor day is crucial for management to clarify long-term AI revenue outlook and drive re-rating.
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ) has just reported no less than $44.06 billion in revenue for the previous quarter and is up 6% premarket.
AMD faces significant headwinds from China export restrictions and tariffs, impacting near-term revenue and gross margins, but maintains strong execution in CPUs and data centers. Despite lagging Nvidia in AI GPUs, AMD is well-positioned to capture niche AI demand and benefit from hyperscaler diversification away from Nvidia. Valuation has contracted to a fair 30x P/E, making risk/reward attractive given expected 12-15% annual top-line growth and expanding margins.
The gaming market remains out of focus for Nvidia, while Intel struggles with its latest CPU generations. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., however, brought prominent improvement in its gaming infrastructure, which could challenge Nvidia more than ever before. I believe that with the current RDNA4 and Zen5 technology generations, AMD could be the only reasonable option for the gaming experience, strengthening the company's revenue mix.
I rate AMD as a Buy, as its current share price undervalues its long-term prospects, especially with momentum in Data Center, Client, and Gaming segments. AMD's shift to the data center industry, strong financial growth, and a $10 billion AI deal position it for significant future revenue and profit expansion. Despite a recent debt increase for strategic investments, AMD maintains a healthy balance sheet and is well-placed to capitalize on industry growth and AI demand.
AMD has acquired Enosemi, a startup designing custom materials to support silicon photonics product development. The terms of the deal, announced Wednesday, weren't disclosed.
