Q3 Results and Momentum
AMD posted $9.2 billion in revenue for Q3 FY2025, a 36.0% increase year over year. Data-center revenue reached $4.3 billion, up 22.0%, fueled by shipments of 5th-Generation EPYC server CPUs and Instinct MI350 GPUs. Client and gaming revenue rose 73.0% to $4.0 billion, led by renewed demand for Ryzen processors. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) were $1.20, meeting expectations.
Demand Outlook and AI Pipeline
Supply-chain checks indicate AMD’s server CPUs are largely sold out for 2026, prompting some analysts to anticipate 10.0–15.0% price increases in the first quarter. AI accelerator revenue tied to MI355 and MI450 chips is projected at $14.0 billion to $15.0 billion for FY2026, supporting upgraded growth forecasts for AMD’s compute business. Partnerships include a 1-gigawatt deployment with OpenAI and a 500-megawatt installation with Oracle, contributing to a potential net revenue opportunity exceeding $20.0 billion. Management forecasts data-center growth at a 60.0% compound annual growth rate through 2030.
Consensus estimates for Q4 FY2025 EPS range from $1.10 to $1.33, with implied revenue near $9.7 billion. Full-year consensus EPS stands at $3.12 for FY2025 and $5.43 for FY2026. Investors will watch whether AMD’s recent commercial momentum, tight server supply, and AI traction translate into results supporting these forecasts.
