AMD sells semiconductors, software, and tools many technology applications, and its AI-related solutions are in heavy demand. The company’s first-quarter fiscal 2026 report showed revenue of $10.3 billion (a 38% year-over-year gain), per-share earnings of $2.67 (a 163.5% sequential rise), and raised its current outlook for data center products.

No wonder AMD shares are up 109% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock.
