What happened

AMD fell about 16% on Thursday, November 5, 2026. Two days earlier it had reported a record quarter. Figures are intraday, from about 11:00 AM ET.

Why it matters

Data Center revenue nearly doubled, up 97% to $8.5 billion, and total revenue grew 45% to $13.4 billion. AMD expects about $17 billion next quarter. But the whole chip sector sold off after the midterms, and great numbers can't beat a falling sector.
