AMD will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be January 26, 2021. In that report, analysts expect AMD to post earnings of $0.47 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 46.88%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $3.01 billion, up 41.69% from the year-ago period.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for AMD. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
