Today, AMD has leading products across several customer segments:
- Data center: AMD develops server central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), data processing units (DPUs), and adaptive systems on a chip (SoCs) for data center and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.
- Client and gaming: It develops CPUs and accelerated processing units (APUs) for notebook and desktop PCs and commercial workstations, as well as GPUs for desktops and notebooks, game consoles, and semi-custom SoCs.
- Embedded: It develops embedded CPUs, GPUs, and other products for the industrial, vision and healthcare, automotive, and test and emulation markets.
AMD's leadership in semiconductors and GPUs, along with its artificial intelligence product portfolio, positions it for growth. That growth potential might have you interested in investing in its stock.
Take a look at how to buy the technology stock and some factors to consider before adding it to your portfolio.
Is Advanced Micro Devices profitable?
Consistent profitability has been a problem for AMD over the years. However, the company was solidly profitable in 2025. Its net income was $872 million, or $0.54 per share, on $7.7 billion of revenue in the second quarter. That was a significant improvement from prior quarters. Revenue was up 32% year over year and 3% from the sequential quarter.
AMD has been investing heavily to jumpstart growth by launching new products, which is clearly paying off. It has developed a comprehensive portfolio geared toward artificial intelligence (AI), which could help drive accelerated revenue and earnings growth in the future.

Every share investors bought at AMD's IPO in 1972 would have grown into 27 split-adjusted shares over the years.
Advanced Micro Devices' last stock split was more than two decades ago. Shares have gained in value since its last split, especially in more recent years.
The stock has more than quadrupled since its last split, so AMD could split its stock again in the future to make it even more accessible to investors.

The bottom line on Advanced Micro Devices
AMD has grown into a global semiconductor leader over the years. It sees much more growth ahead, especially as it begins to capitalize on the emerging AI opportunity, which could reinvigorate its revenue growth and boost its bottom line.
However, AMD faces competition from Nvidia, Intel, and others. So its stock could continue to deliver sluggish returns (as has been the case over the last two decades). Investors need to do their due diligence before buying shares of the semiconductor giant to ensure they understand the risks.
