Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock research: earnings, ownership, and cash flow

AMD designs CPUs, GPUs, adaptive chips, and embedded processors for PCs, gaming, data centers, and AI accelerators. This page connects filing evidence with ownership, insider activity, forecasts, ETFs, and peer context so each dataset can be checked against the others.

Deterministic, source-linked commentary

AMD signals across filings and ownership

Advanced Micro Devices's latest filing sets the operating baseline. 10-Q covers CY2026Q1. quarterly revenue was $10.3B; year-over-year growth was 37.8%; operating margin was 14.4%; trailing free cash flow was $4.4B. Read together, these figures test whether scale is translating into profit and cash. Verify periods and company footnotes in the original SEC EDGAR filing.

The current 13F sample puts AMD in an ownership context. 4 tracked managers reported $604.0M of aggregate value. Soros Fund Management recorded the largest measured share-count move at +101.4%. The sample is small, so it is more useful for identifying named holders than measuring broad ownership. 13F positions arrive after quarter end and exclude many shorts, cash balances, and derivatives; inspect the full holder record before drawing a conclusion.

AMD's published outlook is useful only while its inputs hold. The forecast scenarios were updated 2026-05-21. Revenue growth, margins, cash generation, and risk assumptions must be checked against each new filing.

Cross-checking the company pages keeps timing differences visible. Use institutional ownership, insider filings, forecast scenarios alongside the filing. Company facts can update before 13F positions, so align every source date and report period before treating a difference as a change in fundamentals.

10-Q · 2026-05-06

What the latest filing shows

Form: 10-Q Period: CY2026Q1 Filed: 2026-05-06 CIK: 0000002488

Revenue for the latest standardized quarter was $10.25B, while diluted EPS was 0.84. Revenue changed 37.8% from the comparable period. Gross margin was 52.8% and operating margin was 14.4%. Margin direction matters because it shows whether growth is translating into operating leverage or requiring more cost to support.

13F-HR

13F institutional holdings

3 tracked institutional managers currently report AMD, representing $603.96M of aggregate value. The top five account for 100% of tracked value. This concentration is calculated only within SnowballHare's manager universe, not across every institutional owner.

Capital and holders

Ownership structure

  • Tracked 13F value: $603.96M
  • Tracked active holders: 3
  • Top-five concentration: 100%
  • Shares outstanding: 1,630,600,639

Tracked 13F value is not the same as institutional ownership of float because the manager universe is intentionally limited. Insider ownership also requires the latest proxy statement and is not inferred from short Form 4 windows. This section therefore separates observed data from estimates instead of presenting false precision.

The standardized data shows revenue growth of 37.8%, an operating margin of 9.9%, and a net margin of 12.2%. Without a dedicated earnings article, the original filing remains the primary source for management guidance and expectation comparisons.

Scenario analysis

Forecast range

AMD is a NASDAQ-100 stock with a checked price of 447.58, market cap of 729.82B, and revenue of 37.45B. A practical 2026 scenario map is $336-403 in a bear case, $412-515 in a base case, and $528-649 in a bull case. The forecast depends on semiconductor and AI hardware exposure.

Forecast assumptions

  • Revenue growth must be checked against the latest filing and management guidance.
  • Current reported operating margin is 9.9%.
  • TTM free-cash-flow margin is 12.7%.
  • Discount rates and valuation multiples should move when risk-free rates, business risk, or estimate confidence changes.

This is not a buy or sell recommendation. Forecasts are conditional ranges whose assumptions can fail.

10-K · 2026-02-04

Key risk factors disclosed in the latest 10-K

The categories below are a deterministic research checklist anchored to Advanced Micro Devices's industry and latest annual filing. They summarize areas investors should locate in Item 1A; they do not replace the company's exact legal disclosure.

  • Demand and product-cycle risk: Semiconductors can experience changing customer demand, replacement cycles, and competitive product launches that affect revenue timing.
  • Competition and execution: Market share depends on product quality, pricing, distribution, innovation, and management's ability to convert investment into durable customer demand.
  • Supply chain and counterparties: Supplier concentration, logistics disruption, component availability, and customer concentration can affect delivery schedules, costs, and working capital.
  • Regulation and litigation: Antitrust, privacy, securities, labor, tax, environmental, and industry-specific rules may change costs or restrict products and business practices.
  • Financial and market risk: Foreign exchange, interest rates, credit conditions, investment values, and capital-allocation decisions can affect reported earnings and valuation.

Reference notes

Data notes

Reporting dates

Use filing dates, report periods, and source links together for AMD. A company filing, a 13F disclosure, a Form 4 transaction, and an earnings release can describe different time windows, so the date beside each row matters before comparing signals.

Ownership context

13F rows are delayed public long-equity snapshots from a selected manager universe. They are useful for seeing which tracked institutions reported exposure, but they do not show every hedge, short position, cash balance, or trade made after the quarter ended.

Insider transactions

Form 4 activity should be read by transaction type, role, value, and remaining ownership. Open-market purchases and sales are different from grants, option exercises, gifts, or tax withholding, and the original SEC filing is still the controlling document.

Earnings and forecasts

Earnings pages and forecast pages are linked when a supported article exists. Treat those pages as context for reported numbers, guidance, margins, and scenario assumptions, then return to the table data when you need the underlying source date or filing trail.
