• Positive Sentiment: Strategic narrative remains intact — analysis pieces highlighting AMD’s competitive positioning (the “second‑place” AI advantage and strong data center/CPU momentum) have supported the view that the selloff was a near‑term overreaction. Why Second Place Could Be AMD’s Biggest Advantage
• Positive Sentiment: Analysts and price‑target activity — several firms have reaffirmed buy/outperform ratings and some boosted targets after earnings, giving investors fresh upside scenarios (median targets in the high‑two hundreds). Analysts reset AMD stock price target after earnings
• Neutral Sentiment: Research‑note estimate changes — some boutiques (e.g., Northland) have tweaked near‑term EPS assumptions both up and down for FY2026/FY2027; keep watching consensus revisions as guidance is digested.
• Negative Sentiment: China supply/lead‑time issues — Reuters reports AMD (and peers) have warned customers in China about extended CPU lead times, a near‑term operational headwind that could pressure revenue timing. Intel, AMD notify customers in China of lengthy waits for CPUs

• Negative Sentiment: Heavy insider selling noted in recent filings — disclosed insider sales have drawn attention and can sap sentiment even as institutions buy the dip.
