How AMD traded today (Nov. 7)
AMD extended Thursday’s decline as part of a broader tech drawdown. As of the latest Reuters tape, shares changed hands near $229 (‑3.6%) with today’s range at $224.7–$234.8; prior close was $237.70. Those prints leave AMD mid‑pack inside its 52‑week range of $76.5–$267.1 and reflect a cooling of the post‑October rally. Reuters
The move coincided with Wall Street’s indexes sliding again on worries that AI leaders may have run too far too fast, a theme that has pressured the Nasdaq this week. Reuters

What could move the stock next week
- Financial Analyst Day — Tuesday, Nov. 11: AMD will present multi‑year CPU/GPU/AI roadmaps, long‑term targets, and strategy. Official IR has confirmed the date and webcast; press and industry watchers expect updates spanning Zen 6/Zen 7 CPUs and next‑gen Instinct accelerators beyond MI350. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
- AI systems & partnerships: Last month’s OpenAI agreement (multi‑year, multi‑generation) — including an initial 1‑gigawatt MI450 deployment starting in 2H26 and an associated warrant package — remains a centerpiece in the AMD AI narrative heading into FAD. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Other headlines investors are tracking
- Legal:Adeia sued AMD for alleged patent infringement earlier this week (Nov. 3). While not a Friday driver, it’s a headline for legal‑risk watchlists. Reuters
- Security/firmware: AMD confirmed an RDSEED issue on some Zen 5 CPUs; AGESA firmware updates are being rolled out (desktop fixes slated through Nov. 25, server patches already started). No direct financial impact flagged, but it’s a reminder to monitor platform updates. Tom’s Hardware

Bottom line for Nov. 7, 2025
Friday’s weakness looks market‑led, not AMD‑specific: investors are de‑risking high‑multiple AI names into the weekend. Beneath the tape, AMD’s week‑old beat‑and‑raise and last month’s OpenAI pact keep the AI systems narrative intact — but Tuesday’s Analyst Day must reinforce product cadence, systems strategy (EPYC + Instinct + networking), and margin trajectory to re‑energize the bull case.
