Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will be the EPS for Q2-2026?

Given AMD's strong EPS surprises in recent quarters, this figure will be critical in assessing the company's profitability and market confidence.

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

Supporting Evidence

The options market is pricing in a larger move than historical averages, suggesting heightened expectations.

Recent trends in data center demand may not be fully reflected in current consensus estimates.

Key Risk
