Raised Server CPU and AI Outlook Offsets PC Softness

[Table_Summary] Maintain TP of $720, retain Buy: On Nov 3, AMD delivered better than feared 4Q26 guidance, as the market expectations were lowered post Intel's earnings on Oct 29, and provided positive outlook on server CPU, datacenter GPU and the overall AI demand. Driven by the trend of agentic AI and the increase in supply, the company guided the revenue to grow by greater than 80% YoY in 2027, along with the raise in server CPU outlook to >100% YoY. That said, we remain bullish on the stock, backed by robust server CPU TAM, 2nm CPU product cycle, wafer supply increase (amid our view of loosening N2 supply), MI450/MI455X ramp-up and lowered expectations for PC. By factoring in results, guidance and lower OPEX, we revise EPS estimates by +3%/+5% in 2026E/2027E while maintain TP at $720, now based a lower multiple of 38x 2027E EPS, implying 27x 2028E EPS, due to lowered capex outlook (see our report of CSP Capex Wrap-up on Nov 2).

4Q26 guidance better than feared, +80% YoY in 2027: AMD posted strong 3Q26 with revenue of $13.38bn (+45% YoY, vs. guidance of $13bn, consensus 13.1bn, our estimate of $13.3bn), non-GAAP EPS of $2.1 (+74% YoY, vs. consensus of $1.95) and non-GAAP gross margin at 56%, driven by Datacenter which was $8.5bn (+97% YoY), led by EPYC CPUs and the MI450 GPU ramp. For 4Q26 guidance, it guided sales of ~$17bn ±3% (vs. Bloomberg consensus $16.2bn, Buy-side $16.5-$17.0bn, our estimate of $17.6bn) implies ~66% YoY and ~27% QoQ and non-GAAP gross margin near 55%. Due to the lowered expectation post Intel's earnings, we believe AMD's guidance will be read positively. For 2027, the company expects total revenue to grow greater than 80%, with Datacenter accounting for more than 80%.

Mgmt raised its datacenter outlook reflecting customer commitments and improved supply: CEO Lisa Su suggested server revenue is expected to double YoY in 2027 (vs. prior view of more than 70% YoY, our estimate of 109%), while datacenter AI revenue is projected to grow 'significantly more than double', driven by the ramp of MI450/Helios (shipping in revenue with a ramp in 4Q26/1Q27), the Venice CPU ramp, and supply secured across wafers, substrates, advanced packaging, and memory. Looking further ahead, the company sees high client interest in MI500, and we still expect the spec of dual-die/12-Hi HBM and quad-die/8-Hi (high-end with NPO scale-up) in late 2027, to address both mainstream and high performance.

Risks: 1) AI demand slowdown; 2) new product delay; 3) peer competition.

Earnings Forecast

3Q26 Results Above Expectations

AMD delivered a record third quarter that beat expectations, underscoring the company's accelerating shift toward datacenter. Revenue reached $13.38bn, up 45% YoY and above the high end of prior guidance as well as the roughly $13.1bn consensus and slightly higher than our forecast of $13.3bn. Non-GAAP EPS came in at $2.1 (up 74% YoY), vs. expectations of $1.95, with non-GAAP gross margin at 56%. Segment wise, Data Center was the driver at a record $8.5bn (+97% YoY, 64% of total revenue), fueled by strong EPYC server CPU demand and the initial ramp of Instinct MI450 GPUs. Client & Gaming revenue was $3.7bn (-8% YoY), with Client at $2.9bn (+7% YoY on Ryzen mobile) offset by Gaming at $773mn (-40% YoY on lower semi-custom and graphics). Embedded rose 29% to $1.1bn.

4Q26 Guidance Better than Feared

For 4Q26, AMD guided revenue to approximately $17bn (±3%), implying ~66% YoY and ~27% sequential growth at the midpoint-well above the ~$16.2bn Bloomberg consensus (vs. our forecast of $17.6bn), with non-GAAP gross margin expected around 55%.

Valuation and Recommendation

Maintain Buy with TP up to $720

We rate AMD (AMD US) Buy and set our TP at $720, which is based on 38x our 2027E EPS, or 27x 2028E EPS estimate, lower than our earlier multiple of 40x 2027 EPS due to lower CSP Capex outlook in 2028. Yet, we still expect to deliver >50% earnings CAGR and enhanced competitive positioning into MI455/MI500 and agentic AI product cycle. We adopt P/E methodology as we believe the market will be mainly focused on the company's earnings outlook, and we usually apply P/E method to fabless firms.

AMD's P/E traded at an average of 36x since 2017 and 38x since 4Q22, when the AI cycle started. Our target price multiple is inline average level of its AI cycle, despite the fact that the average P/E was distorted by the overly optimistic sentiment of its MI300 cycle in 4Q23-1H24. Further upside or downside to valuation remains the margin trends and how the company executes the MI455 including the rack solution.
