AMD Stock: OpenAI Deal and AI Growth Fuel Potential Rebound After Q3 Earnings Dip
Table of Contents
Despite a meaningful pullback following its Q3 earnings report, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) remains a compelling long-term investment, bolstered by a transformative deal with OpenAI and the explosive growth potential of the artificial intelligence market.
AMD shares rallied in October to reach a new all-time high of approximately $267 after announcing a multi-year agreement to supply AI chips to OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT.However, the stock experienced a sharp decline in November, effectively erasing the gains made after the announcement.
The US-based technology company operates across three key segments: Data Center, Client and Gaming, and Embedded. The Data Center and Client and Gaming divisions are the primary revenue drivers,contributing roughly 46% and 44% respectively,while the Embedded segment accounts for the remaining 10%.
Technical Analysis: Key Support and Resistance Levels
From a technical perspective, the recent price action suggests a potential buying chance. The initial gap down found support at S1 and trendline resistance R1. The price gap effectively realigned the stock with its trajectory from April to august, as visualized through Fibonacci Retracements.
The recent post-earnings decline has brought the AMD stock price closer to a key support level at the 100-day moving average, followed by the current trendline support S2, which triggered a recent rebound. This rebound is further reinforced by the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $193, perhaps establishing a strong buying zone. Should the stock price continue to fall and breach the 100-day moving average, the 50% Fibonacci level at $171 would become the next support level.
AI Market Growth and AMD’s Position
As a major player in the AI space, Advanced Micro Devices is strategically positioned to capitalize on the industry’s rapid expansion. A recent report from UN Trade and Growth (UNCTAD) projects the global AI market to reach a $4.8 trillion valuation by 2033, up from an estimated $391 billion in 2025.
AMD’s Data Center segment, which generated over $4.3 billion in revenue during Q3, is poised for further growth. The company has forecast $9.6 billion in revenue for Q4, exceeding the consensus analyst estimate of $9.2 billion and representing a $350 million sequential increase from Q3’s $9.25 billion topline.
According to Chief Executive Officer Lisa Su, the majority of this growth is expected to come from Data Center sales, with the segment projected to grow at an average rate of 80% annually over the next three years. This growth is directly linked to the increasing demand for computing power required for AI projects and the chips that power them. AMD currently ranks as the second-largest provider of graphics processing units (GPUs), trailing only one competitor, and GPUs are a critical component of AI accelerators.
The company’s strategy centers on developing a comprehensive AI infrastructure, encompassing chips and processors, high-speed interconnects, software development tools, and full-rack scale deployments.
Investor Confidence Remains High
Despite the recent stock price fluctuations, institutional investors continue to demonstrate confidence in AMD’s long-term prospects. Billionaire hedge fund manager steve Cohen’s Point72 doubled down on its AMD stock holdings in Q3, increasing its position by 30% to 1.74 million shares,valued at approximately $358 million based on Monday’s closing price. Point72 is also heavily invested in AI, increasing its stakes in Nvidia and another key player.
Appaloosa, the hedge fund founded by David Tepper, also increased its AMD stake, acquiring 950,000 shares, now worth nearly $196 million.
OpenAI Deal: A “Transformative” Partnership
In October,AMD announced a multi-year agreement to supply OpenAI with AI chips,a deal described by an AMD executive vice president as “certainly transformative,not just for AMD,but for the dynamics of the industry.” Investors are closely monitoring how this partnership will impact the company’s AI chip sales in the coming months.
while the AMD stock price has experienced a significant pullback since the beginning of November, the company’s underlying fundamentals and the anticipated rapid growth of the AI market support a long-term bullish outlook. Its multi-year deal with OpenAI further solidifies its revenue streams for the foreseeable future.
