AMD Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2026. Third quarter revenue was $13.4 billion, gross margin was 54%, operating income was $2.8 billion, net income was $2.4 billion and diluted earnings per share was $1.46. On a non-GAAP(*) basis, gross margin was 56%, operating income was $3.9 billion, net income was $3.5 billion and diluted earnings per share was $2.09.

“We delivered a record quarter with revenue exceeding the high end of our guidance as Data Center segment sales nearly doubled year-over-year,” said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD chair and CEO. “Demand for our Instinct and EPYC products continued to strengthen, and we expect growth to accelerate further in the fourth quarter as we scale Helios and ‘Venice’ production. With our leadership product portfolio and deep customer and supply chain relationships, we are confident in our ability to sustain very strong revenue growth and expanding profitability over the coming years.”

“Third quarter revenue grew 45% year-over-year to a record $13.4 billion, while non-GAAP earnings per share grew 74%, demonstrating the significant operating leverage in our business model as our Data Center business drives scale,” said Jean Hu, AMD executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. “Our fourth-quarter outlook reflects accelerating revenue and earnings growth, driven by strong demand across our Data Center portfolio.”

Segment Summary

• Data Center segment revenue was a record $8.5 billion, up 97% year-over-year, driven by strong demand for AMD EPYC™ processors and the launch of AMD Instinct™ MI450 Series GPUs.
• Client and Gaming segment revenue was $3.7 billion, down 8% year-over-year. Client business revenue was $2.9 billion, up 7% year-over-year, driven by sales of AMD Ryzen™ mobile processors. Gaming business revenue was $773 million, down 40% year-over-year, due to lower semi-custom and graphics revenue.
• Embedded segment revenue was $1.1 billion, up 29% year-over-year, led by growth in aerospace and defense, automotive, communications and industrial end markets.
