Abstract generation in progress

As NVIDIA’s main competitor in the artificial intelligence (AI) processor market, AMD’s outlook for the current period was disappointing, indicating that its progress in the AI field has not met the expectations of some investors earlier.
The company stated that first-quarter sales are expected to be approximately $9.8 billion, with the analyst consensus estimate at $9.39 billion, though some forecasts exceed $10 billion.
This outlook has disappointed investors who had hoped that AI computing spending would yield greater returns. In this lucrative market, AMD is still chasing NVIDIA, but the chip manufacturer has previously stated that a more powerful new design, set to be launched in the second half of this year, is expected to give it an advantage.
After the earnings release, AMD’s stock price fell more than 5% in after-hours trading. As of Tuesday’s close, the stock has risen 13% so far this year.
