AMD's Q1 revenue climbs 38% led by data center

Watch: Monitor AMD's Q2 earnings and production ramp in Taiwan for AI demand sustainability and margin trends.

AMD posted Q1 2026 revenue of $10.25 billion, up 37.9% yoy, beating $9.91 billion estimates. Its Data Center segment grew 57% yoy to $5.78 billion, becoming AMD's largest earnings source. Despite strong earnings and a 131% YTD stock rally, short interest jumped 24% to 44.7 million shares, signaling increased bearish hedging. ASML is noted as a peer likely to join the $1 trillion club next, highlighting AMD's competitive semiconductor context.

Strong revenue and data center growth confirm AMD's AI infrastructure strength but rising short interest and high valuation suggest caution in near-term share gains.

Operator (Operator): Greetings, and welcome to the AMD First Quarter 2026 Conference Call. And please note that this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to Matt Ramsay, Vice President of Financial Strategy and IR. Thank you, Matt. You may begin. Matthew Ramsay (Vice President, Financial Strategy and Investor Relations): Thank you, and welcome to AMD's First Quarter 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. By now, you should have had the opportunity to review a copy of our earnings press release and the accompanying slides. If you have not had a chance to review these materials, they can be found on the Investor Relations page of amd.com. We will refer primarily to non-GAAP financial measures during today's call. The full non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliations are available in today's press release and slides posted on our website. Participants on today's conference call are Dr. Lisa Su, our Chair and CEO; and Jean Hu, Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer. This is a live call and will be replayed via webcast on our website. Before we begin the call, I would like to note that Jean Hu will present at the Bank of America Global TMT Conference on Tuesday, June 2 in San Francisco. Today's discussion contains forward-looking statements based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of today and as such, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. Please refer to our cautionary statement in our press release for more information on factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. With that, I will hand the call over to Lisa. Dr. Lisa Su (Chair and CEO): Thank you, Matt, and good afternoon to all those listening in today. We delivered an outstanding start to the year driven by accelerating demand for AI infrastructure across our portfolio. Growth was broad-based with every segment increasing year-over-year, led by 57% data center revenue growth. First quarter revenue increased 38% year-over-year to $10.3 billion, earnings grew more than 40%, and free cash flow more than tripled to a record $2.6 billion, driven by significantly higher sales of EPYC CPUs, Instinct GPUs and Ryzen processors. These results mark a clear inflection in our growth trajectory and a structural shift in our business. Data center is now the primary driver of our revenue and earnings growth. And as AI adoption scales, demand is increasing, not only for accelerators, but also for the high-performance CPUs that power and orchestrate those workloads. Turning to our segments. Data Center revenue increased 57% year-over-year to a record $5.8 billion, led by strong demand for our EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs. In Server, we delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of record server CPU revenue. Revenue increased more than 50% year-over-year with sales to both Cloud and Enterprise customers each growing more than 50%. Share gains accelerated year-over-year, reflecting the ramp of fifth-gen EPYC Turin CPUs and continued strength of fourth-gen EPYC processors across a wide range of workloads. In Cloud, AI was the primary driver of growth in the quarter as every major cloud provider expanded their EPYC footprint to support a broad range of AI workloads from general purpose compute and data processing to head nodes for accelerators and emerging Agentic applications. EPYC-powered cloud instances increased nearly 50% year-over-year to more than 1,600 with instances optimized for virtually every enterprise workload and expanded availability across the largest global cloud providers. In Enterprise, demand accelerated with record revenue and record sell-through in the quarter. We expanded our customer base with new wins across financial services, health care, industrial and digital infrastructure companies, while also building momentum with mid-market and SMB customers. We are well positioned to continue gaining share as more enterprises standardize on EPYC across on-prem and hybrid environments based on our leadership performance and TCO. Looking ahead, our sixth-gen EPYC Venice processor built on our Zen 6 architecture and 2-nanometer process technology is designed to extend our leadership across cloud, enterprise and AI workloads. The Venice family spans a broad set of CPUs optimized for throughput, performance per watt and performance per dollar, including Verano, our first EPYC CPU purpose built for AI infrastructure. Across the portfolio, Venice widens our competitive advantage, delivering substantially higher performance per socket and per watt versus competitive x86 offerings and more than 2x throughput per socket versus leading ARM-based AI solutions. Customer demand is very strong with more customers validating and ramping platforms at this stage than with any prior EPYC generation, and we remain on track to launch Venice later this year. Looking more broadly, we are seeing a meaningful acceleration in customer deman ... [transcript truncated at 5,000 chars — full text available via API]
