AMD vs. Broadcom: The Better AI-Chip Stock to Buy After the Sell-Off
Yahoo Finance ·
A brutal week for chip stocks ended with the PHLX Semiconductor Index in a bear market, down more than 20% from its June peak. Two of the AI ( artificial intelligence ) trade's flagship names went down with it. Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD 1.03% ) now trades about 15% below its high, while Broadcom ( AVGO 0.70% ) has fallen about 25% from its own. Both companies, meanwhile, are executing about as well as they ever have. Falling stock prices and accelerating businesses make for a good time to compare the two. So, which chipmaker deserves new money after the sell-off? AMD's first-quarter results showed a company hitting its stride. Revenue rose 38% year over year to $10.3 billion, led by the data center segment, where revenue climbed 57% to $5.8 billion on strong demand for its EPYC server processors and the continuing ramp of its Instinct AI accelerators. Non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share rose 43% to $1.37, and free cash flow hit a quarterly record of $2.6 billion. Even the client business, which sells chips for personal computers, grew 26%. Profitability is moving the right way, too, with the company's adjusted gross margin expanding to 55% from 54% a year earlier.
AI 시장 분석
The PHLX Semiconductor Index has entered bear market territory, falling more than 20% from its June high. Despite stock price corrections of 15% and 25% for AMD and Broadcom respectively, corporate earnings remain robust. Notably, AMD's data center revenue surged by 57%, strengthening its position in the AI chip market. Investors should carefully evaluate whether to utilize the current pullback as a buying opportunity.
상승 영향
- Semiconductors — Fundamentals are extremely solid, with AMD reporting a 57% rise in data center revenue and a 43% increase in adjusted EPS. Current stock price corrections of 15-25% offer an attractive entry point given rising AI chip demand.
- AI — Expanding supply of Instinct AI accelerators and increasing data center demand are driving growth in the AI hardware market. Long-term revenue growth for chipmakers is secured as long as corporate investment in AI infrastructure continues.
DYAX 전담 분석
The semiconductor sector is facing a significant valuation reset as market sentiment shifts despite strong underlying performance. The disconnect between price action and fundamental growth suggests that the current downturn is driven by broader macro concerns rather than company-specific weakness.
AMD's ability to maintain high double-digit growth in its data center segment highlights the sustained demand for AI hardware. As the industry moves past the initial hype cycle, capital allocation toward AI infrastructure remains a long-term strategic priority for major tech firms.
