AMD share price: what changed on Nov. 6–7, 2025

Friday, Nov. 7: AMD finished at $233.54 (–1.75%), bouncing intraday from a sharp morning dip to as low as $224.64. Volume remained heavy at ~52.0M shares, consistent with risk‑off positioning and brisk options flow (see below). [7]

Thursday, Nov. 6: The stock fell 7.27% to $237.70 as AI‑exposed tech led U.S. equity declines; the Nasdaq slid ~1.9% and a global risk‑off tone weighed on semiconductors. Reuters noted semis underperformed during the session. [8]


Fresh headlines that mattered (Nov. 6–7)

1) Macro selloff clipped AI beneficiaries

Markets turned defensive on Nov. 6, with AI/semiconductor names under broad pressure as investors reassessed valuations. Live market coverage showed the Nasdaq down ~1.9% and semis lower, setting up AMD’s worst single‑day drop since October. [9]

2) Post‑earnings digestion continued

Earlier in the week, AMD posted Q3 revenue of ~$9.25B and guided Q4 to ~$9.6B (±$300M), pointing to strong data center AI momentum. Shares nevertheless faced profit‑taking as the market weighed spending, margins and the timing of incremental AI supply. [10]

3) CICC upgrade to Outperform (Nov. 7, after close)

China International Capital Corporation raised its rating on AMD to Outperform Friday evening, citing upside versus the latest closing price and a constructive outlook into 2026. While one call doesn’t set a trend, it can help sentiment after a two‑day slide. [11]

4) Options traffic spiked on Friday

Futu’s tape showed ~1.16 million AMD contracts traded on Nov. 7 with puts at ~52% of volume—an elevated, but not extreme, tilt toward downside hedging into next week’s company event. [12]


The setup into next week: Analyst Day on Nov. 11

AMD confirmed it will host Financial Analyst Day on Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025, where CEO Dr. Lisa Su and the leadership team will detail long‑term strategy, product/technology roadmaps and financial targets. Expect updates across EPYC CPUs (Zen roadmap), Instinct AI accelerators, client PC and gaming, and longer‑term AI systems/platforms. This event is the next major fundamental catalyst for the shares. [13]


Earnings context in one paragraph

AMD’s Q3 showed broad‑based strength: data center revenue reached ~$4.3B (helped by AI demand), client revenue ~$2.8B (AI PC and upgrade cycle), and overall non‑GAAP EPS of $1.20. Management guided Q4 revenue to ~$9.6B and discussed scaling production and full‑system offerings to meet AI orders. The company also reiterated momentum around large AI customers (including the OpenAI supply deal disclosed last month), which investors will want quantified more precisely at Analyst Day. [14]


Today’s numbers at a glance (Nov. 7, 2025)

  • Close:$233.54 (–1.75%)
  • Intraday range:$224.64–$235.87
  • Volume:~52.0M shares
  • Thursday close (Nov. 6):$237.70 (–7.27%)
    These figures are from end‑of‑day historical data. [15]

What to watch next

  1. Guidance detail on AI accelerators: Any clarity on 2026–2027 AI revenue run‑rates, supply ramps, and product cadence (e.g., next‑gen Instinct) could reset expectations. [16]
  2. CPU share and AI PC traction: Updates on EPYC share gains vs. Intel and AI‑PC adoption curves will factor into 2026 models. [17]
  3. Capital allocation and margins: Investors will parse capex needs, gross‑margin trajectory, and potential buyback pacing versus growth investments. [18]

Bottom line

For today (Nov. 7), AMD stock stabilized after Thursday’s heavy selloff but still finished lower on the week. Short‑term moves are being driven by macro AI‑valuation angst and positioning, while the Nov. 11 Analyst Day now becomes the focal point for fresh numbers and roadmaps that could re‑anchor the narrative into 2026.

Stock Market Today

  • Polestar Faces Nasdaq Bid-Price Rule Violation: Valuation in Focus as PSNY Trades Around $0.75
    November 8, 2025, 8:12 AM EST. Polestar Automotive UK (NasdaqGM:PSNY) faces a Nasdaq notice for trading below the $1.00 minimum bid price. Shares sit around $0.75, with a 1-year total return of about -39% and fading momentum. European expansion via a dealership partnership offers positive development, but investors still weigh valuation risk and funding dependence. Analysts' fair value targets hover near $1.00, flagging upside potential but tempered by persistent cash burn and potential shareholder dilution from new equity. The stock trades at a 0.7x price-to-sales multiple, well below the US Auto average (1.1x) and peers (1.7x), though a 0.4x fair valuation suggests the market may already price in risk. Bottom line: an entry point could exist if growth levers align, but regulatory risk and funding needs keep downside in play.
  • Expeditors International of Washington Announces $0.77 Dividend (EXPD) with Steady Payout Prospects
    November 8, 2025, 8:10 AM EST. Expeditors International of Washington (NYSE: EXPD) announced a dividend of $0.77 per share to be paid on December 15. The yield is modest at about 1.1%, but earnings comfortably cover the payout, supporting a likely sustainable payout ratio near 24% next year as EPS is forecast to rise by ~10.1%. The stock has a long history of steady distributions, growing from $0.72 to $1.54 annually since 2015, a rough 7.9% annual growth. Over five years, EPS growth has averaged around 11% per year, underpinning the dividend's durability and cash flow generation. While it looks like a solid long-term income stock, investors should note one identified warning sign to monitor.
  • Fair Isaac (NYSE:FICO) 2025 Results: Analysts Forecast 28% EPS Rise and 22% Revenue Growth in 2026
    November 8, 2025, 8:09 AM EST. Fair Isaac shares rose 4.8% to about US$1,740 after reporting yearly results. The company delivered revenue of US$2.0b and statutory EPS of US$26.54, in line with expectations. Following the print, analysts lifted their outlook: for 2026, consensus calls for US$2.44b in revenue (+22% year over year) and EPS of US$34.84 (+28%). Pre-report models had been US$2.39b and US$33.70. The street's price target sits at US$2,008, with a wide range from US$1,230 to US$2,400. Growth forecasts imply about 22% annualized growth to end-2026, above the five-year history of 8.7% and above the industry norm of ~15%. Importantly, earnings optimism rose while near-term revenue forecasts were broadly unchanged.
  • Constellation Energy Q3 2025 Earnings: Nuclear Focus Supports Growth Amid Cash Flow Challenges
    November 8, 2025, 8:06 AM EST. Constellation Energy Corporation (CEG) reported Q3 2025 results with a GAAP net income of $2.97 per share and adjusted EPS of $3.04. Management highlighted a landmark Conowingo Dam re-licensing settlement and robust performance from its nuclear fleet. Despite a narrowing of the full-year adjusted earnings guidance, the upcoming Calpine transaction positions CEG to meet rising demand for clean energy and strengthens its balance sheet. Analysts show Buy with a price target of $478; yet Spark's AI Analyst notes a Neutral stance and concerns on cash flow and valuation. The stock carries mixed technical momentum but remains exposed to regulatory risk and a strategic emphasis on nuclear energy as a core growth driver.
  • Voya Financial Fair Value Debate: Is VOYA Undervalued at $84.73 vs $72.01?
    November 8, 2025, 8:04 AM EST. Voya Financial (VOYA) has seen about a 3% price dip over the last month, with a modest 3-month uptick and a clearer longer-term track record. The centerpiece is a published fair value of $84.73, well above the last close of $72.01, framing a potential undervalued setup. Supporters point to the company's digital transformation, including automation and AI, and the expansion of its integrated benefits platform as levers for durable margin expansion and higher long-term earnings. Yet risks loom: persistent fee pressure and rising medical costs could compress profits if margins contract. The story pits near-term volatility against a history of steady growth, suggesting investors may be weighing whether VOYA's price currently discounts brighter days ahead.
