AMD shares fell 8.5% in premarket trading after the chipmaker beat Wall Street’s second-quarter estimates, as investors sought stronger evidence of AI growth. Revenue rose 50% year on year to $11.5 billion, against expectations of about $11.3 billion. Adjusted earnings reached $1.66 per share, above the $1.62 estimate. The Hindu reports that AMD’s adjusted gross margin rose to 56% in the second quarter but is expected to stay around that level in the third. Investors are also awaiting its Helios rack-scale AI system, due to begin shipping later in the third quarter. NDTV Profit reports bearish bets on AMD reached a two-week high after its outlook failed to meet elevated AI expectations.
