WATCH THIS BEFORE AMD REPORTS EARNINGS TODAY!
In a Nutshell
AMD reports earnings today after an 80% run-up to $355, trading at a sky-high PE of 133x despite expected EPS of $1.27 and revenue of $9.85B—fundamentally overvalued with 22% downside to fair value. Bullish AI/semiconductor sentiment may drive short-term gains, but historical post-earnings sell-offs and "buy the rumor, sell the news" risk make it a poor buy at current levels. Avoid leverage, especially for beginners; use risk calculators and wait for a correction in this irrational market.

AMD is reporting earnings today. AMD is currently up nearly 4% to $355 on the day. The key question is not whether AMD will beat earnings, as that expectation is factored in based on its price performance, but whether it remains a good buy after running up 80% from sub-$200 per share over the past 30+ days.
Fundamentally, AMD is not a good deal. PE ratio is 133 times earnings, incredibly high for a semiconductor company. Expected net income: $4.3 billion. Expected revenue: $34.6 billion.
Despite poor fundamentals, you can make money going long on AMD due to incredibly bullish sentiment for semiconductor companies. No break of structure or trend. Rally strength unknown as it's not just AMD: INTC up 300%, SanDisk up over 3,000% (memory-related). Anything semi or AI-related thrives on irrational valuations.
Contrast: Shopify down 12% after beating earnings; PLTR down nearly 7% after best earnings.
Beating earnings alone won't drive AMD higher. Expectations are so high it could be 'buy the rumor, sell the news.' Not worth the risk after 80% run-up from $200. Question is not if you can make money, but if it's a good deal with favorable risk-reward.
Use the risk calculator (second link in description: risk strategy) to plan trades, understand risk ratio, potential profit, and loss.
In a greed-driven market with irrational, unsustainable valuations pumping 10% daily, anything can happen. Fundamentally, AMD is not a good deal, but earnings will provide more insight.
