The AI tailwind can continue to propel these quality stocks in the long run.
The semiconductor design company is increasing its market share in the fast-growing data center segment.
The semiconductor design company is vying for a seat at the table in the race for artificial intelligence.
Data Center revenue hit $3.5 billion in Q3 2024, growing 122% year-over-year, fueled by AI demand. Ryzen processors drove Client segment revenue to $1.9 billion, a 29% year-over-year increase, bolstering AMD's profitability. Data Center operating income soared 240% to $1.041 billion, reflecting strong margins and high-demand products like EPYC CPUs.
AMD's numbers weren't bad last quarter, and they could get a whole lot better next year.
The semiconductor sector has more than rebounded from some volatility earlier this year, with the SOXX index making some solid gains to kick off November.
These leading tech companies have underperformed the broader market this year, but that may change in 2025.
AMD rides on strong portfolio, ZT and Silo acquisitions, and robust data center demand amid stiff competition from NVIDIA.
Advanced Micro Devices is discounted due to its inability to compete directly with NVDA's AI chip dominance, as observed in the former's underwhelming forward guidance. This is on top of the ongoing hyperscaler transition to custom ASICs, with AMD potentially missing out on the generative AI capex boom. Despite promising double-digit growth through FY2026, AMD's impacted operating margins imply its lack of pricing power and delayed AI monetization.
