AMD reported better-than-expected Q2 2026 earnings driven by its Data Center segment, now 58% of revenue, with strong growth and AI partnerships boosting outlook for H2 2026. Gross margin rose to 56% and operating margin to 27%, improving cash flow and net cash to about $10 billion. Despite these positives, AMD stock fell about 9% after hours, prompting a downgrade from 'Strong Buy' to 'Buy' due to a less attractive risk/reward profile and a fair value estimate of $581 with a 5-year target of $1040.
