AMD reported third-quarter profits after the bell on Tuesday, with profits and earnings whipping expert expectations, and a strong projection for the 4th quarter.
The stock was up as much as 1% in prolonged trading.
Here’s how the chipmaker did versus Refinitiv agreement approximates for the quarter endingOct 2:

AMD is among the business that has actually benefitted the most from the rise in electronic devices sales over the past 18 months as its central processing units and graphics processors power PCs, servers and video game consoles. Those sales are visited AMD’s computing and graphics section, which reported $2.4 billion in earnings, up 44% year-over-year.
The PC market has actually slowed from its torrid speed a year ago when individuals worldwide still required computer systems to work or gain from house, however AMD stated its chips were costing greater typical rates as consumers choose more effective processors.
AMD reports server chip and console chip sales in its Embedded, Enterprise, and Semi- customized section. AMD reported $1.9 billion in sales in this crucial classification, up 69% year-over-year driven by Epyc server chips, and greater “semi-custom” sales, which are the semiconductors it offers to video game console makers.

AMD CEO Lisa Su stated in a statment that information center sales doubled year-over-year and now represents “mid-20s” of total AMD earnings.

AMD is a fabless chip business. It creates the innovation inside its semiconductors and contracts out making to foundry partners like TSMC and GlobalFoundries. In September, AMD CEO Su stated she anticipates the chip lack to end up being less extreme in 2022.
AMD continues to keep its expenses under control and increase its success. It stated its gross margin was 48%, up from 44% in the very same duration in 2015 due to the fact that consumers are purchasing more costly processors. It projection gross margins at 49.5% in the 4th quarter. AMD’s earnings for the quarter was $893 million.
Last October, AMD revealed its strategies to purchase Xilinix in an offer worth $35 billion that would provide the business more firepower to take on Intel in the information center chip market. AMD stated the offer was still on track to nearby completion of 2021 and the business is making “good progress” to protecting regulative approvals.
AMD stated it redeemed $750 million in shares throughout the quarter. AMD stock is up over 30% year to date.
