## Elevator Pitch

- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.’s core revenue growth excluding a one-time China boost is stable to decelerating, despite headline results suggesting a stronger acceleration.
- AMD management guides for minimal China contribution ahead, warning investors not to assume further upside from this highly uncertain market.
- Gross margins face pressure in H2 FY26 as AMD ramps MI450 and Helios, with yields and ramp costs likely delaying long-term margin targets.
- AMD’s valuation screens rich versus peers and its own history, with the stock trading at a higher-than-usual forward P/E premium.
- Data center growth could surprise positively, but AMD’s ambitious 60% CAGR goal hinges on successful execution and broader adoption of new product launches.
