Side-by-Side Summaries

A Analysis AMD Analysis

📈 Growth & Financial Trajectory

Over eight quarters, Revenues rose from about $1.66B to $1.84B, a positive trend, with a mid-2025 dip. Net income fluctuated from $308M–$434M, ending near $339M in 2026 Q2. The sequence shows top-line resilience but earnings volatility, implying improving mix or cost management but not a steady uplift in profitability.

💰 Margins & Cash Flow

  • Gross Margin is generally in the mid-50s percentile, peaking around 63% in 2024 Q2 and typical ~50–55% in other quarters.
  • Operating Margin has run in the high-teens to low-20s percent range on Revenues of ~$1.6–$1.8B.
  • Operating cash flow remains positive across quarters (roughly $0.27–$0.55B), while investing cash flow is negative (capital outlays), and financing cash flow is often negative, reflecting debt/return actions.

🛡️ Balance Sheet & Liquidity

Total Assets ($11–$13B) exceed Liabilities ($4.8–$6B) with Equity frequently negative, signaling balance-sheet rehabilitation needs. Current assets vs current liabilities suggests solid liquidity (working capital positive); long-term debt remains a meaningful load but generally manageable within cash flows.

⚠️ Key Drivers & Risks

  • Drivers: Life sciences capex & instrument upgrades; continued demand for laboratory testing and automation.
  • Risks: Earnings volatility from cyclic lab-spend; structural negative equity raises valuation sensitivity and balance-sheet risk.

📈 Growth & Financial Trajectory

Over the eight quarters, Revenues rose from roughly $7.44B to about $10.25B, a sustained upshift with a brief mid-period pause. Net Income climbed from about $0.264B to $1.383B, with quarterly oscillations but a clear uptrend (peaks in 2025 Q4 and 2026 Q1).

💰 Margins & Cash Flow

Gross margins held near 50-54%, with quarterly gross profit around $3.0-5.6B on rising revenues. Operating margins stayed in the mid-teens (~14-17%), reflecting improving operating leverage as volumes grow. Cash flow from operations was positive in each period (approx. $1.0-3.0B per quarter), with investing cash outflows offset by financing activity and net cash flow turning positive in several quarters.

🛡️ Balance Sheet & Liquidity

Equity attributable to parent ranges around $58-64B with total assets near $69-79B. Current assets about $19-28B and current liabilities around $7-10B yield a healthy liquidity cushion. Debt levels remain modest relative to equity, supporting resilience.

⚠️ Key Drivers & Risks

  • Drivers: AI/Data Center GPU demand; AMD product cadence and process technology advantages.
  • Risks: Semiconductor cyclicality and valuation sensitivity to growth trajectories; competitive pressure in a consolidating GPU/CPU market.
