In this video, I’m breaking down why AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) might be on the verge of its next big breakout — and why the market’s reaction to earnings completely misses the point. AMD just posted $7.7B in revenue, up 31.7% year-over-year, with net income surging nearly 300%… all without selling a single chip to China due to export restrictions. Gaming and PC sales are up almost 70%, AI chips are reportedly selling for $25K, and yet CEO Lisa Su didn’t say a word about China on the earnings call. That’s not a mistake — it’s a signal. Here’s what you’ll learn in this video: The $800M China opportunity hiding in plain sight Why AMD’s MI400 series could reshape the AI market The truth behind AMD’s valuation vs Nvidia Risks that could derail the bull case — and how I’m thinking about them My personal take on whether AMD is worth buying now This isn’t hype — it’s the real numbers, the real risks, and the real upside. Let’s dive in.
