Read MoreHide Full Article
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Free Report) closed at $48.17 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.64% move from the prior day. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.29%. At the same time, the Dow lost 0.46%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.27%.
Heading into today, shares of the chipmaker had gained 14.98% over the past month, outpacing the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 7.47% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.56% in that time.
AMD will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect AMD to post earnings of $0.30 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 275%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $2.10 billion, up 48.09% from the year-ago period.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for AMD. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
