AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today announced revenue for the third quarter of 2019 of $1.80 billion, operating income of $186 million, net income of $120 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.11. On a non-GAAP(*) basis, operating income was $240 million, net income was $219 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.18.

"Our first full quarter of 7 nm Ryzen, Radeon and EPYC processor sales drove our highest quarterly revenue since 2005, our highest quarterly gross margin since 2012 and a significant increase in net income year-over-year," said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD president and CEO. "I am extremely pleased with our progress as we have the strongest product portfolio in our history, significant customer momentum and a leadership product roadmap for 2020 and beyond."



Q3 2019 Results
  • Revenue was $1.80 billion, up 9 percent year-over-year and 18 percent quarter-over-quarter due to higher revenue in the Computing and Graphics segment, partially offset by lower revenue in the Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment.
  • Gross margin was 43 percent, up 3 percentage points year-over-year and 2 percentage points quarter-over-quarter, primarily driven by increased Ryzen and EPYC processor sales.
  • Operating income was $186 million compared to $150 million a year ago and $59 million in the prior quarter. Non-GAAP operating income was $240 million compared to $186 million a year ago and $111 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily due to higher revenue in the Computing and Graphics segment.
  • Net income was $120 million compared to $102 million a year ago and $35 million in the prior quarter. Non-GAAP net income was $219 million compared to $150 million a year ago and $92 million in the prior quarter.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $0.11 compared to $0.09 a year ago and $0.03 in the prior quarter. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.18 compared to $0.13 a year ago and $0.08 in the prior quarter.
  • Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $1.2 billion at the end of the quarter.
Quarterly Financial Segment Summary
  • Computing and Graphics segment revenue was $1.28 billion, up 36 percent year-over-year and sequentially. Higher revenue was primarily driven by increased Ryzen client processor sales.
  • Client processor average selling price (ASP) increased year-over-year primarily driven by Ryzen desktop processor sales and increased quarter-over-quarter driven by both Ryzen desktop and mobile processor sales.
  • GPU ASP increased year-over-year driven by higher channel sales and decreased quarter-over-quarter due to a higher proportion of mobile sales.
  • Operating income was $179 million compared to $100 million a year ago and $22 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to higher revenue.
  • Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment revenue was $525 million, down 27 percent year-over-year and 11 percent sequentially. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were primarily due to lower semi-custom product revenue, partially offset by higher EPYC processor sales.
  • Operating income was $61 million, compared to $86 million a year ago and $89 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were due to lower revenue and higher operating expenses.
  • All Other operating loss was $54 million compared to $36 million a year ago and $52 million in the prior quarter.

Share prices are directly tied to future outlook not current, similar to oil.

Nvidia's future is still brighter because they are investing in medical field and AI, and that is where the money is. Niche computer games are not that big of a market in comparison.

Not sure what you're hinting, AMD's total addressable market is much much bigger than Nvidia. Granted they are a relative small fry in servers right now, a few quarters down the line that big money will have a big impact on their revenue & profitability. In fact as things stand today, with Intel entering the GPU market, Nvidia is in a bigger "potential" strife in their most lucrative market i.e. HPC.

Well Intel entering GPU market probably will not shake NVIDIA that much but may give AMD really hard time.

In HPC it will, at least in the short term. For gaming, unless Intel sells their cards for wafer thin margins I don't expect them to break the AMD/Nvidia duopoly anytime soon.

AMD share price has tripled since beginning of 2017. It has doubled since start of 2019.
There definitely were bumps in stock price in the middle of the year with release of new generation hardware but that seems to go back down after a while.

Stock prices are driven by sentiment and as someone noted earlier - future expectations.

I always think Nvidia as a huge giant with ONE foot. If they lose that foot, goodbye.

AMD on the other hand looks like a company that everyone expects it to skyrocket, but something is holding it back.

Intel is a company that's biggest weakness and biggest strength is it's size. Even if is loses in some market(s), will gain more money from others.

Short term? Just look at top500 listing and try counting how many system are using AMD accelerator? AFAIK intel pretty much killed AMD in accelerator market ever since they launch 1st xeon phi to the market. I think the one that still being listed in top500 listing were machine with AMD tahiti accelerator in it. I don't think hawaii and vega based supercomputer ever listed in top500 listing.

What accelerators are you talking about, AMD never had an accelerator, just GPUs. Xeon Phi was never a resounding success and has been killed off by Intel themselves in 2017 because almost no one wanted them, they were never even close to matching AMD nor Nvidia.

Also a lot of the systems in Top500 don't even have GPU nodes.

Compute accelerator (tesla, firepro, phi). no one wanted them? well they are not as popular as nvidia tesla that's for sure but they still end up having more design win than AMD with their Firepro. you can look the top 500 list for yourself. even the latest listing there was at least one machine using intel phi end up in the top 10 ranking. if you look the entire listing you will still going to find several other using xeon phi....and maybe just one machine using AMD Firepro in the entire 500 listing.

Nothing makes any kind of sense when it comes to the AMD share price.

Share price reflects the bullishness of the investors (future looking). AMD earnings is quite low, compared to its competitors such as NVIDIA and Intel (earnings per share, Intel - $4.27, NVIDIA - $4.43, AMD - $0.19), and it has a very high P/E ratio (Intel - 14, NVIDIA - 46, AMD - 170). Their profit margin is really, really low. AMD needs to raise prices but that is contrary to its business practice of low price and great value. The other way to make more money is by gaining more market share across the board which will be tough given the dominance of Intel and NVIDIA in their respective space.

Investors in general have really given AMD the benefit of the doubt and AMD has to consistently beat earnings and raise guidance in order for the share price to rise. The consensus is the stock is already overvalued. Short and midterm could be up, but long term could be flat as Intel fights back in the consumer and server space. I feel AMD will top out no higher than $40 for the next few years.

I don't think you quite got this, they stopped making them back in 2017. That's how great they were.

Firepro have no place in data centers as is the case with Quadros. It's the Instinct line of products that are intended for that and they only got introduced in recent years. You clearly don't understand where these products are actually used.

And just so you know the fastest super computer is planned to be built on AMD's Epyc and Instinct infrastructure. From not being listed to first place is quite the achievement.

So I would say hold onto your horses right there about who won what.

The problem with tech stocks is that it's much more internet driven than anything else. A gamer is on line, sees an article about AMD expecting HUGE earnings and "well yeah I agree, I use AMD for gaming" and think they are savvy enough to invest. The problem is, these are mostly pump and dump foffer where market manipulators are recommending what will make them money, not you. If they are exclaiming buy, buy, buy ... rest assured, they are selling short.

if you are getting stock advice or picking dates over the internet ... you are doing it wrong. Ask the State Farm guy about his pretty blonde BF

Compute accelerator (tesla, firepro, phi). no one wanted them? well they are not as popular as nvidia tesla that's for sure but they still end up having more design win than AMD with their Firepro. you can look the top 500 list for yourself. even the latest listing there was at least one machine using intel phi end up in the top 10 ranking. if you look the entire listing you will still going to find several other using xeon phi....and maybe just one machine using AMD Firepro in the entire 500 listing.
Maybe you need to reread the PR highlights at the bottom of the article. It takes time to build an EPYC 2 Cray supercomputer, several are on the way. ;)

Also: Intel can't even produce enough 14nm chips right now vs AMD's 7nm server hardware. 10nm is a complete bust except for moble and 7nm is 2 years away. Just stick your head in the sand aready!

I don't think you quite got this, they stopped making them back in 2017. That's how great they were.

Firepro have no place in data centers as is the case with Quadros. It's the Instinct line of products that are intended for that and they only got introduced in recent years. You clearly don't understand where these products are actually used.

And just so you know the fastest super computer is planned to be built on AMD's Epyc and Instinct infrastructure. From not being listed to first place is quite the achievement.

So I would say hold onto your horses right there about who won what.

yes intel stop making them way back in 2017. but still it does not change the fact there are more system using intel phi than AMD Firepro. also you said you said Firepro have no place in data centers. FYI AMD used to call their both accelerator and professional visual GPU as firepro. they only change the name to Instinct when they launch Vega. ever heard of Firepro S10000 and S9150? some hint: S9150 is dub as nvidia killer back when AMD announced the card. even top500 have an article how they imagine in 6 to 12 month time the top 20 spot in the top500 listing will be dominated by AMD accelerator.....which in the end never happen.

yes i know about the upcoming fastest supercomputer will be fully AMD based. that is AMD first major win since SANAAM that is based on S10000. but just because AMD win that contract that AMD have superior solution to the market. when SANAAM first comes out they said more system will going to use AMD accelerator in the future. S9150 was supposed to killed everything else out there including nvidia GK210. we know how that goes by now.
