Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) reported a record Q2 revenue of $11.5 billion, driven by a 107% increase in data center revenue. Despite strong sales and optimistic Q3 guidance, the company's non-GAAP gross margin remained flat at 56%, raising concerns about its operating leverage.

Analyst James Foord maintains a Strong Sell rating, awaiting a margin improvement above 56% and a valuation reset before considering re-entry.
