AMD announced results for the first quarter of 2024, which were mostly in line with analyst expectations. The company's revenue was $5.47 billion, up 36% from last year. Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.62, beating expectations of $0.61. On the other hand, the company presents rather mixed guidance. Results in line with expectations and rather weak guidance show that the company is not able to grow like Nvidia at the moment, which may suggest that despite a strong correction, the company's stock declines may not be over yet. AMD loses approximately 3.6% in after-market quotations. Moreover, SMC shows weaker results (mainly in terms of revenues and guidelines), which also worsens the mood in the chip sector.
