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). Yahoo Finance

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. Barron’s
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. Reuters
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. Nasdaq
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. Futu News
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. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
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. Reuters
