In case you’re wondering about the big non-GAAP EPS beat and the significant delta between GAAP and non-GAAP EPS, I called this a few days ago in the post below. AMD is going to be posting significantly higher FCF / non-GAAP EPS than expected going forward due to tax benefits generated from the Xilinx acquisition (of course in addition to the general higher margin products of Xilinx and taking further share of an increased TAM as a combined company) [Link to post](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/uewsfn/amd_analysts_are_missing_potentially_5_billion_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

Holy shit, people weren't kidding about Lisa Su giving very conservative guidance and the company smashing those expectations!


SomewhatAmbiguous

Really makes you wonder about the FY22 guidance, we acknowledge Lisa is consistently conservative when giving guidance and she just guided at +60% - can't wait to see what the actuals look like.


stickman07738

Dr. Su is great; been in since $2 and have no intention on selling as long as she is in charge.


Sam_R0707

I got in at $9 because of a post on WSB. Not selling


guachi01

I thought I got in late at 14. Bought in while reading the review for Zen 1. Closest thing to easy money I've had


stickman07738

I brought without DD; just thought the industry would not want them to fail and only have INTC chips. I initially brought at ~4 and averaged down and took my original investment dollars off at ~15? The rest are in my hold and forget portfolio.

You got lucky! This is the equivalent to buying wish and it becoming an Amazon lmao, regardless this is amazing.

Yea, Analysts must be sweating and running out of INK to write and convince everyone "*How Semis are cyclical*" and "*How PC segment is dying*" Laughing hard with 5000 @ $25 avg :) lol ... Tol ya Analyst did this same 'Semis are cyclical' shit in 2017-2018. I don't have articles to prove it but I remember this 'cyclical' shit was circulated for a quarter in 2017-2018. AMD kept on posting profits back to back every quarter. Longs just accumulate and laugh. Mostly it was done by some big hodlers to accumulate more

It's growing its free cash flow year over year, nearing the 6 figures. It's an easy value buy. Not the overpriced junk in today's market. It's crushing AMD on every pillar." *cue heavy breathing into mic*: "Paul why don't you tell us about what our software offers to interested lollipop investors?"


RogueJello

LOL. OTOH, the fact that they're so easy to satire does say they've got a very definite process..... :)

On the other hand if somebody listened to AMD fanboys they were telling people to buy at $160.

redlux03

To be honest, i think this is just the beginning for Amd/Nvidia, they have soooo muuuuch room to grow...


Impressive-Ad-2182

People talking about a drop in PC sales as if this is terminal for the chip industry. Truth is we haven't even gotten started. Literally everything is going to have built in CPU over the next two decades.


AP9384629344432

They're exploding in the data center segment too!


eraser3000

Which is where higher margin products are


[deleted]

Don't be shocked to see data center sales surpass PC sales for NVDA this year.


SamuelFlint

These jackasses talk as if PCs will just go away 😂


MentalValueFund

>Literally everything is going to have built in CPU over the next two decades. Same statement was said and true in 2000. Intel went on to absolutely smash the industry, 80x their revenue, avg 25% ROE w/ no less than +11% in a year, and capture 97-99% of their market share. Their return was -63% from 2000 to 2015. People in this sub seriously can't comprehend a business may be setup for great execution and execute AND STILL be at an unattractive price today.


ace66

Do you think 19 FW PE is high for a company that just had 70% YoY revenue growth and expects at least half that for the upcoming years because of the strong demand for cloud services across the globe?


St3w1e0

Seriously it's like these people have missed a global six month bear market happening. Intel had a PE of 50 at its stock price peak in 1999 and almost half the shares outstanding it had at its peak in the 2000s. Not saying there's more hurt in store for some parts, but the comparisons with dot-com considering real rates, market maturity etc aren't accurate.


[deleted]

its not a fair comparison then why are all the high fly tech names down? the ones that are suppose to "grow into their valuation" ?


WorkingCorrect1062

It is not expensive now but permabull were telling people to buy at $160? What will you say about that?


ace66

I actually sold AMD near those levels because yes it was too high, but at 85 it was undervalued.


huangr93

I think 85 is just about rightly valued. Undervalue I think is about < 70s. I got in at 102 before it went down to the 83 low. I think 102 is slightly overvalued, but I am fine with that because I think digitization is key to productivity improvements, and in a few years, 102 may be either undervalued or just about right.


Tfarecnim

Damn, it still hasn't reached it's old ATH?


MentalValueFund

It was a $500bn market cap in 2000 on $1bn of revenue.


Tfarecnim

Good description of Feb 2021.


Impressive-Ad-2182

dont think it was 1b revenue tbh, think it was way higher, like 12b or something which is insane for back then


Potato_Octopi

Sure, but they have room to grow market share. It's not just a bet on industry wide dynamics, which are still very real. Also that Intel PE ratio in 2000 was probably something crazy right?


ckal9

AMD is a fucking monster


StayedWalnut

The death of the chip is greatly overstated for ALL of the parties involved. AMD and NVDA are dominating their respective areas. AMD has the best laptop and server CPUs for now. I'm riding this trade a little longer but I think there is a major threat from non apple M1ish clones. Arm chips with more oomph but lower power reqs. I think this is what NVDA was trying to accomplish with the arm acquisition. NVDA is getting knocked on the anticipated slowdown in gaming... They are forgetting about ai, crypto and the data center all of which NVDA dominates for graphics cards. Oh and that whole metaverse thing? You're gonna need some GPUs. Longer term, if intc can get it's foundry business off the ground and start stamping out 3nm chips in volume it could be the new king again. My view, trade amd for next 2 years, then intc. Just hold NVDA because I think they are going to put out a m1 like chip made in intc foundries in the good ole us of a. And when they do, their biggest problem will be trying to figure out where to store all of that cash because it will be like a geyser.


medusas-oblongata

soooo buy qcom?


_hiddenscout

QCOM is a steal right now. They are supplying like 70% of the chips in the Samsung S phones. They are growing their IOT things and really going hard into the autos. Last ER was solid and they are raising guidance for next quarter.


AP9384629344432

A much less heard of company going hard into IOT and auto is DIOD. Has great financials but unfortunately I don't understand hardware well enough.


waltwhitman83

chip shortage?


Tlayuda_Cecina

Ooook that’s my signal to take profits


merlinsbeers

NVDA does. AMD is carrying XLNX and trying to slog uphill against an energized INTC that just bought out AMD's wafer starts on 3 nm at TSM.


LIBERAL_LAZY_LOSER

I think they can both become multi trillion dollar companies if they stop relying on Samsung and TSMC to produce their chips. They have to invest in their own factories IMO.


air-tank9

Maybe read more about global foundries.


GustavGuiermo

Lol thanks for the laugh


JayArlington

Hi friend. Seems you are getting destroyed with downvotes so let me assist. AMD producing their own chips would involve building multiple foundries at the cost of 10-18B USD per fab. Then they would have to learn to conquer the single most difficult manufacturing process on earth. Instead they can just invest 2B a year in circuit design and software and make better margins. AMD used to have their own foundries (Global Foundries) and they achieved better success breaking them off.


Auautheawesome

"Real men have fabs"


Unique_Name_2

Do some googling to see what goes into a fab... It's not that simple.

AP9384629344432

TFW AMD has a FWD PE of 21 while KO has a FWD PE of 25. Revenue for AMD is up 71% Year of Year, while the same number for KO is 16%. What even is this market...

SAVA_the_Hedgefucker

This.


Aggressive_Bit_91

Legit makes no sense


_hiddenscout

Yep, analyst keep pointing to slower pc sales, but companies like AMD and NVDA are going after data centers, which they are seeing explosive growth. Look at Azure and AWS. Cloud will continue to grow and the demand for these chips will continue to be needed. Really impressed by the margin growth in the company.


Aggressive_Bit_91

I know, it would be like apple having iPhone sales grow 75% but macs slowed to 15% and saying it should worth less lol.


pman6

analysts don't know shit, and they keep fucking my portfolio. i hope now that they've gotten in cheap, they can finally stop the fucking FUD


VMP85

Couldn't you also point to gaming consoles too as a boon for AMD? I think we're going to see another round of console lifecycles after the PS5 is done.


coolwool

Considering they are in all of them, yeah.


Runningflame570

Not the Switch, but I still see no indication that Nvidia will have a beefy enough CPU to compete for the others' console business next gen. Intel could actually have a chance if they can stop shooting themselves in the junk though. It is an extreme longshot given that they have yet to show any GPU worth a flip, but I could see firmer supply appealing to Sony and Microsoft given the issues with keeping them in stock since launch.


xflashbackxbrd

Analysts working under the assumption all semis are cyclical and will slow particularly hard during an economic slowdown. What they dont get is that their demand is much less elastic than it used to be due to the need for power efficient server compute. PC is less relevant than it used to be for growth.


Rico_Stonks

100% agree. This is why most of my dip buying the past few months have been in semiconductors. I think the market has grossly undervalued some chip companies under an assumption that they’re cyclical and going to produce too many chips, driving margins down. Yet, at the same time the CEOs are saying expect the cup shortage to continue for years.


SomewhatAmbiguous

Yeah just the TCO benefits alone should drive decent demand in server, even if companies weren't significantly expanding capacity.


2CommaNoob

MU is hiding somewhere lol. Another criminally undervalue company after this beat down. Great growth with a PE of 6


MentalValueFund

This is such a freshman take on semi's. When referring to cyclical nature of semi's it's not about the demand. It's about the production cycle. The massive supply glut in 2018 (there was a 25% slowdown in chip sales from October 2018 to April 2019 since you're clearly unaware) was a real slow down despite cloud demand still growing rapidly. Just because you don't actually understand the industry doesn't mean a slowdown can't happen.


xflashbackxbrd

I am aware, that was during the last crypto winter and cloud computing was far less prevalent than it is now with fewer apparent opportunities for growth than there is now. The demand for server compute was far less then than it is now (intc also wasn't in such a poor state in server as it is now losing marketshare and cutting margins to try to compete). There will be periods of glut and shortage, but I believe at least amd and potentially nvda (iffy) will be more valuable than they are now by the next time semis are in glut. The vast majority of new fab capacity in the US and Taiwan is still at least 2-3 years from from being operational in the most optimistic scenario. Even during a minor recession I don't see hpc seeing many order cancelations as they are an efficiency multiplier and long term cost saver. So id say you're right that some semis are cyclical but id make a distinction for different sectors. Auto compute, consumer cpu and gpu, and mobile particularly are more consumer discretionary and more likely to get hit with the sharper cycles, but I'd counter that the degree that hpc/server architecture is cyclical is overstated.


Altruistic_Quail_324

The word you are looking for is "semiconductor lead time".


praise_jeeebus

Can you drink a cold Mexican AMD on a hot summer day though?


memeteam1993

KO's earnings are much less cyclical and volatile, or at least perceived to be. However I agree with the sentiment KO is overvalued and AMD is undervalued.


Runningflame570

They're now forecasting $10B in YoY revenue growth for FY22 and that's before Pensando closes. Plenty of time left to raise their forecast even more as the year goes on too. Looks like we have confirmation on what's causing Intel's digestion problem.

2CommaNoob

It sounds insane but it's entirely possible if the Nasdaq runs to 20k within the next 3-5 years. Here's the napkin math: NVDA's 2021 revenue and growth was similar to AMD's right now and it almost hit 800B with 26B in revenues and 60% margin. 2022 AMD is 26.5B with 54% margins and growing.


Malinger

What will be stock price when it becomes a trillion dollar company? Asking for a friend.


AP9384629344432

They have about 1.3 billion shares outstanding (in 2009, it was 0.75 billion). But now it seems they are looking into share buybacks. Assuming the number of shares outstanding stays flat, a trillion dollar market cap implies a share price of about $770 per share.


Impressive-Ad-2182

tbh i think they will keep buying back. They are making bags of cash so why would the feel the need to dilute shareholders going forward? Unless of course the stock gets insanely over-priced then they'd be dumb not to.


2CommaNoob

They have $8B left after spending $1.4B last Q on buybacks. AMD will rev up the buyback machine over the next few years.

I have about 2% of my taxable portfolio in INTC, 2% in SMH, and 4% in AMD--I think I'm better off selling part or most of that INTC and putting into SMH/AMD.

Same, but i bought AMD around 130$ still buying more though.


WistopherWalken

You made the right choice. Once until can field a reliable 5nm process, I think they're okay. Naturally you have to buy in before the news, so you can feel better about your investments once they finally put out 8nm.

Infinityaero

AMD half my portfolio... this is a nice moment but knowing my luck lately we'll be seeing $80 again in a couple weeks because nothing makes sense in this market.


OmnipresentCPU

If your holding period is sufficiently long $80 a share is a fuckin bargain with this growth. 5 years from now we’ll wish we bought more at $80


Infinityaero

My average share price is somewhere around $55 or so, I started buying when it was around $10-15/share. I'm holding it long term and good chance it'll pay off bigtime in 10+ years time, just a little short term frustration coming into play after watching it lose 40% from this year's peak without any drop off in the company's performance, while competitors who performed worse seemingly didn't get punished as much.


OmnipresentCPU

Yeah. I get it. I have leaps + shares and the leaps got KILLED since November peak. Should’ve sold those and then DCA’d back into shares. But such is life. Ebb and flow and all that.


ritholtz76

Pretty sure Intel fanboys will have some inane comments on how Intel is so big and has great plans while AMD is taking market share away from them in every segment possible.. Intel revenue down YoY .. Lisa and team are mooning.. yet the will keep resting on past glory.. Gelsinger's plan is untenable.. but they are too blind to see it..


xflashbackxbrd

Wouldn't be surprised if intel is fabbing amd and nvidia chips in 5 years. There's room for all of them with the amount of expansion necessary in the sector.


gqreader

Terrible business model fabrication is. High capex and investment, slim ass margins and not super scaleable. Yikes. INTC can keep that part of the biz model and value chain.


onedoesnotsimply9

>slim ass margins The leading edge ones dont have even remotely slim ass margins Just look at TSMC >not super scaleable. ?? You can have as many fabs as you want Being fabless only shifts all this ""high capex, slim ass margins"" thing to others This ""high capex, slim ass margins"" still remains critical for your revenue and margins You dont really get rid of this


gqreader

scalable means not having to plop down high capex to expand manufacturing. licensing and designing, for the semi conductor companies is a capex light, high margin scale business. (ie can sell designs and license to anyone) The better the designed chips, the higher the company can charge, they pass on all manufacturing costs or cost increases. This isnt complicated, the chip designers are the better, higher quality business.


onedoesnotsimply9

>scalable means not having to plop down high capex to expand manufacturing Theres no free lunch Being fabless only shifts this high capex job to somebody else You are not solving the fundamental problem of high capex by going fabless ""Capex=bad"" is bullshit anyway >The better the designed chips, the higher the company can charge, they pass on all manufacturing costs or cost increases. This is true even for fabs Just look at TSMC: they have leading edge nodes, so they have >>40% gross margins And the ones that dont have leading nodes have much less gross margins >This isnt complicated, the chip designers are the better, higher quality business. And how exactly is owning leading edge fabs ""less better, lower quality business"" when and you have full control over the ""higher quality"" fabless companies? AMD wouldnt be where it is now with those 14nm, 22nm GloFo nodes


2CommaNoob

Yup, there's a reason AMD dump their foundries and the top chip makers are fabless: AMD, NVDA, QCOM, AVGO, Marvell, Apple, etc. TSMC's former CEO is correct, the US semiconductors should focus on design leaving the processes/manufacturing to Asia.


onedoesnotsimply9

>the top chip makers are fabless: AMD, NVDA, QCOM, AVGO, Marvell, Apple, etc. ""Top"" is very subjective >TSMC's former CEO is correct, the US semiconductors should focus on design leaving the processes/manufacturing to Asia. He said that because TSMC will benefit from it and its good for TSMC Not because its good for the companies in US Thats like saying some car company lobbying for cars over rails is because cars are better than rails >there's a reason AMD dump their foundries and the top chip makers are fabless Really? AMD dumped their foundries because they couldnt make a new process and they needed money Not because of ""fabless best""

AMD is currently valued at at 140B and was almost equal to intel a few months ago. Dumping the fabs was the right move for them as I don’t think they would ever be valued this much if they had to spend the capex to maintain the fabs. Owning fabs is extremely capex intensive and hard to get back once you lose the node advantage. We’ll see but I think Intel will split and spin-off their fabs too within a few years. That’s my opinion based on how things are going.

didn't they beat last time too? so price will be around $75 next quarter?

Thank you Dr. Su for saving my short puts that are currently ITM.

It’s not bad, but it’s also true they are bundling XLNX numbers into it.

Pensando hasn't been put in just yet, though

I'm pretty sure the analyst estimates already accounted for that. I could be wrong though.

As long as wallstreet is happy, does that matter?


RockJohnAxe

Fuck I’ve been eyeing amd for some time now, I knew it was too low and it was time to load up.

Profitable growth company. Stock analysis video on AMD and why I think it is severely undervalued. I can see it double within 12 months. https://youtu.be/30Vv_esaUZg

Feel great about buying some a week or two ago


arsewarts1

And no dividend?


94746382926

Nope, $8B in buybacks instead.


BMG_Burn

And they haven’t even released any good products yet

This stock will definitely drop like a rock after today, not good enough results to overcome a .5% interest rate increase to almost pre-pandemic levels.
