Did AMD Beat Earnings? Q1 2024 Results

Advanced Micro Devices edged past Wall Street's expectations in the first quarter of 2024, reporting adjusted earnings of $0.62 per share against a consensus estimate of $0.61, a beat of 1.64%, while revenue of $5.47 billion topped the $5.46 billion … Read more Advanced Micro Devices edged past Wall Street's expectations in the first quarter of 2024, reporting adjusted earnings of $0.62 per share against a consensus estimate of $0.61, a beat of 1.64%, while revenue of $5.47 billion topped the $5.46 billion forecast by 0.26% and grew 2.2% year-over-year. The headline driver was a record $2.34 billion in Data Center revenue, up 80% year-over-year, fueled by surging demand for AMD's MI300 AI accelerators and continued adoption of EPYC server CPUs, with MI300 GPUs crossing $1 billion in cumulative sales since their late 2023 launch. Those gains, however, were tempered by sharp declines in Gaming and Embedded segments, down 48% and 46% year-over-year respectively, reflecting lower console revenue and persistent inventory corrections. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 52% from 50% a year ago, underscoring the favorable mix shift toward higher-margin products. Despite shares sliding following the report amid investor scrutiny of AI investment costs, AMD's Q2 guidance of approximately $5.70 billion in revenue and 53% non-GAAP gross margin signals continued momentum ahead.

Key Takeaways

  • Ramp of MI300 AI accelerator shipments driving record Data Center segment revenue
  • Adoption of 4th Gen EPYC CPUs with nearly 900 public cloud instances available
  • Ryzen 8000 Series processor sales driving 85% Client segment YoY growth
  • Non-GAAP gross margin expansion to 52% from favorable Data Center and Client revenue mix
  • Lower semi-custom revenue and Radeon GPU sales weighing on Gaming segment
  • Embedded customer inventory digestion continuing to pressure Embedded revenue
