Advanced Micro Devices is scheduled to report earnings after the closing bell Tuesday. Traders are anticipating a big move in the chipmaker’s stock.
Options pricing suggests traders expect AMD (AMD) stock could move nearly 8% in either direction by the end of this week. A shift of that size from Monday’s closing price of around $246 could push the shares back to October’s record highs near $265—or drag them back down to about $228.
Why This Is Significant
Tuesday’s results could help inject some fresh enthusiasm back into shares of AMD, which took a hit in the last few months of 2025 amid worries about an AI bubble. They’ve rebounded to start the new year after a string of strong signals for AI hardware makers.
Analysts at Bank of America said last month that they expect AMD’s results to top Street estimates on strength from its data center segment, its largest source of revenue, as Big Tech giants continue to spend heavily on AI infrastructure.
AMD is seen reporting adjusted earnings per share of $1.34 on a nearly 27% year-over-year jump in revenue to a record $9.69 billion in the fourth quarter, driven by growth in data center sales, according to estimates collected by Visible Alpha.
Wall Street analysts lean more bullish than bearish on AMD’s stock. Of the 10 analysts with current ratings compiled by Visible Alpha, seven have issued “buy” recommendations for the stock, compared to three neutral ratings. Their mean price target around $276 would suggest roughly 12% upside from Monday’s close.
AMD shares, which have more than doubled over the past 12 months, were down 2% in early-afternoon trading Tuesday.
