Three AMD dates and figures
On August 4, 2026, AMD reported second-quarter revenue of USD 11.536 billion, up 50.10 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, according to FinanceFeeds. On September 28, 2026, AMD announced its planned acquisition of World Labs for about USD 8.2 billion in stock, also reported by FinanceFeeds. On October 12, 2026, AMD introduced Helion and placed the product launch against its USD 13.0 billion third-quarter outlook.
What does the 1.37 percent move mean?
The immediate signal is constructive, but the valuation still depends on execution. FinanceFeeds reported that Stifel raised its AMD target to USD 700 from USD 635 on October 5, 2026, while AMD's Nasdaq market value was USD 917.8 billion as of October 15. The target change followed a period in which AMD's AI demand story was being tested against supply capacity, making the third-quarter report the next major evidence point.
Dates investors can measure
AMD's next fiscal third-quarter results are scheduled for November 3, 2026, after the market close, according to the company's October 6, 2026 release from AMD. The release also lists UBS's Global Technology and AI Conference on December 1, 2026, as the next named company event. The scheduled report will show whether the USD 13.0 billion outlook and the near 56 percent non-GAAP gross-margin outlook translated into reported results.
