AMD (US0079031078) was trading at EUR 493.03 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 10:39 a.m. CEST, down EUR 28.37 or 5.44 percent versus the Xetra close of October 14, 2026 at EUR 521.40. On October 12, 2026, AMD introduced Helion, a rack-scale AI platform built around its compute, networking and software products.

Helion adds a growth test

The platform gives AMD a broader system-level offer as demand for AI infrastructure expands. In its second-quarter 2026 earnings call, AMD said Helios shipments would begin during the third quarter and ramp through the fourth quarter, while customer demand was ahead of its initial forecast, according to Yahoo Finance.

The latest operating figures provide the financial backdrop. Revenue in the second quarter of 2026 rose 50.10 percent year over year to USD 11.54 billion, while diluted earnings per share reached USD 1.38, according to AMD financial data. The company guided third-quarter 2026 revenue to USD 13.00 billion plus or minus USD 300.00 million in its earnings call.

What does Q2 growth mean for margins?

AMD's gross margin reached 56.00 percent in the second quarter of 2026, more than 2.00 percentage points above the year-earlier level. Operating income was USD 1.99 billion, and operating cash flow was USD 2.37 billion for the quarter. The mix shift toward data center products is therefore central to the next earnings update.

Three dated AMD developments

On August 4, 2026, AMD reported second-quarter revenue of USD 11.54 billion. On September 28, 2026, the company announced the World Labs transaction valued at USD 8.20 billion, according to Zacks. On October 12, 2026, AMD introduced Helion, which can deliver up to 30.00 percent more tokens per dollar across specified workloads, according to the earnings-call transcript.

Next dates for AMD shareholders

AMD will report fiscal third-quarter 2026 results on November 3, 2026, after the market close. The company is also scheduled to participate in the UBS Global Technology and AI Conference on December 1, 2026.
