What happened
AMD stock rose as much as 8.7% on Tuesday, closing up 8.6%, after Palantir Technologies reported Q2 revenue that surged 93% year over year to $1.94 billion and adjusted EPS that jumped 156% to $0.41% — both well ahead of Wall Street's expectations for $1.81 billion revenue and $0.35 EPS.
Why it matters
Investors are interpreting Palantir's strong AI-driven growth (its U.S. commercial segment, powered by its Artificial Intelligence Platform, soared 149% to $764 million) as a sign that AMD's own Q2 results, due after market close Tuesday and guided for 46% revenue growth to $11.2 billion, will also deliver solid performance. The data suggests sustained demand for AI infrastructure, which benefits semiconductor makers like AMD.
What to watch
AMD controls roughly 6% of the graphics processing unit market for AI data centers, compared with Nvidia's more than 80% share, leaving significant room for AMD to gain share if it can capitalize on the AI boom.
