## Summary

AMD reported record quarterly revenue of $13.4 billion for Q3 2026, which chief executive Lisa Su called the company’s largest and most profitable quarter. Growth is being led by demand for data centre products, and AMD forecasts revenue will rise more than 80 per cent in 2027, making the business increasingly central to the company.

Data centres brought in $8.5 billion, about 63 per cent of quarterly revenue, and accounted for $1.8 billion of a $1.9 billion year-on-year revenue increase. AMD expects another record quarter, forecasting $17 billion in revenue, while chief financial officer Jean Hu said data centres could exceed 80 per cent of total revenue after 2027. Gaming revenue fell 40 per cent to $773 million; Su attributed a consumer slowdown partly to higher component costs and said AMD is planning for a down year in 2027.
