Record revenue growth as data center demand surpasses expectations

Advanced Micro Devices delivered record fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, as revenue grew 34% year-over-year to $10.27 billion, exceeding analyst estimates. Growth was driven by strong demand across the data center, gaming, client PC, and embedded markets, with the data center segment setting a new quarterly record. Net income, operating profit, and diluted earnings per share all showed substantial improvements, with Instinct GPU adoption and AI partnerships highlighted among ongoing advancements.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent technical weakness in AMD despite its strong annual results. He notes the price is stuck below key short- and medium-term averages, underscoring seller dominance and a vulnerable technical setup. Kharitonov is critical of the intraday bearish momentum and questions the sustainability of recent gains, given diverging oscillator signals and a heavy daily drop. He warns that a further slip below $210 could intensify downside pressure, bringing $200 or even $177 into play if sentiment sours. "Investors should remain defensive here, as short-term rallies face strong resistance and macro headwinds could invalidate bullish expectations."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights AMD’s record-breaking results and rapid revenue growth as catalysts for future momentum. He emphasizes robust demand across multiple segments and sees the data center performance as a foundation for further gains. Karapetjanc is confident that the stock’s long-term bullish trend remains solid, with technicals pointing to more than 80% probability for a recovery. He expects the recent volatility to offer attractive setups for constructive buyers. "I believe the bullish structure is intact, and investors should be ready for renewed strength above $233 as market confidence grows."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes mixed sentiment and heightened volatility following AMD’s sharp daily sell-off. He points out that oversold signals on short-term oscillators create tactical trading opportunities, especially as daily RSI stays constructive. Turakhiya sees potential for sideways consolidation, with breakout trades likely to emerge if price action reclaims key resistance or breaks down further. "Short-term volatility is elevated, so nimble traders should watch for sentiment shifts near support and resistance zones to capture quick moves."

Intraday bearish reversal as mixed momentum diverges from medium-term signals

Momentum signals for AMD are mixed, as the MACD on both daily and weekly timeframes shows a bullish undertone, while the ADX is neutral on the daily chart, indicating weak short-term trend strength but remains constructive for medium-term momentum. Oscillator readings are varied: the Stoch RSI and some lower timeframes indicate oversold short-term conditions, daily RSI remains constructive, but BBP emphasizes recent overbought extremes, spotlighting short-term dominance by sellers. The asset experienced a steep daily drop of $31.72 or 13.10% with an opening gap, now trading near the day’s low within the $210.54 — $218.43 intraday range, indicating high volatility and a bearish tone. Oscillator and momentum readings diverge, with overwhelming intraday weakness outweighing medium-term bullish signals.

Last time, analysts noted that AMD is trading above key short, medium, and long-term moving averages, with strong buyer support reflected in continued bullish momentum indicators such as the MACD, while the RSI signals a sustained edge for buyers. However, elevated volatility and mixed oscillator signals suggest short-term uncertainty, with immediate dynamic support around the Ichimoku Kijun and resistance anticipated near upper volatility bands.
