Reverse DCF, on our cash-flow model rather than the fair value above: Today's price implies revenue growth of more than 25%/yr. Above about 25% a year the reverse-DCF stops being informative. It solves for revenue growth alone — holding margins, capital intensity and the forecast horizon fixed — so a price well above our cash-flow model's value has nowhere to go but growth, and the solver returns a rate the model can't reconcile. Read it as "the price implies growth we can't justify", not as a forecast.

AMD DCF valuation: what the price assumes
At a recent price of $528.75, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) trades 140% above TickerWorth's blended fair value of $220.04 per share. For this company that blend leans on peer multiples: our discounted-cash-flow model holds margins flat and fades growth toward a long-run rate, which systematically understates a business growing this fast, so its figure (about $115.92) is shown as a reference beside the range rather than blended into it. Our estimate sits below the market — read that as a statement about how the market prices AMD against comparable companies, not as a finding that it is overvalued on cash flow. This is an educational model, not a price target or a recommendation.
Read the full reasoning
The valuation discounts Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.'s projected free cash flows at a weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) of 13.2%, with a long-run terminal growth rate of 2.5%. About 70% of the enterprise value comes from the terminal value — the portion beyond the explicit forecast window — which is typical for a stable, cash-generative business and a reminder that small changes in the discount rate or terminal growth assumption swing the intrinsic value meaningfully.
Running the DCF in reverse — solving for the growth the current price already assumes — AMD would need sustained revenue growth of more than 25%/yr to justify today's price. We don't quote a precise figure here, because past about 25% a year the reverse-DCF stops being informative: it solves for revenue growth alone, holding margins, capital intensity and the forecast horizon fixed, so a price well above our fair value has nowhere to go but growth. The honest reading is that the price implies growth this model can't reconcile — not that we forecast it.
Sensitivity matters more than any single number. Across a reasonable band of discount-rate assumptions, AMD's modeled DCF value ranges from about $95.28 to $149.10 per share. If that range still sits below today's price, the market is optimistic relative to the model across the whole band; if it brackets the price, the stock is roughly fairly valued on our assumptions. Use the interactive slider to see exactly where your own cost-of-capital view lands.
How to read this page: the DCF fair value is what Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. would be worth if its cash flows grow as modeled and are discounted at the stated WACC. The assumptions table shows every input and its source; the reverse-DCF shows what the market believes; the sensitivity band shows how fragile the answer is. None of this is investment advice — it is a transparent, auditable framework for forming your own view of AMD's intrinsic value. Figures update as new filings and prices come in.
Every input behind AMD's DCF
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Base-year revenueAMD Q4/FY2025 earnings release, 8-K Ex-99.1 filed 2026-02-03; ties to FY2025 10-K (accession 0000002488-26-000018, filed 2026-02-04): Net revenue for the fiscal year ended 2025-12-27, +34% on FY2024's $25,785M. XBRL us-gaap:RevenueFromContractWithCustomerExcludingAssessedTax in the 10-K = $34,639M, identical. Segments: Data Center $16,635M, Client $10,640M, Gaming $3,910M, Embedded $3,454M. FY2025 carries ~$440M of net MI308 export-control inventory charges (management's figure). UNCHANGED as the base; the 2026 ramp belongs in the forecast. CROSS-CHECK: H1 2026 revenue was $21,789M, +44.1% on H1 2025's $15,123M (Q2 2026 10-Q, accession 0000002488-26-000123). | $34,639,000,000 |
| Base EBIT marginAMD Q4/FY2025 earnings release, 8-K Ex-99.1 filed 2026-02-03; FY2025 10-K (accession 0000002488-26-000018): THIS IS EBITA, NOT GAAP OPERATING INCOME, and that choice is the most important accounting call in the model. GAAP operating income $3,694M (10.66%) PLUS amortization of acquisition-related intangibles $2,254M ($1,031M in cost of sales + $1,223M in opex, both on the face of the income statement; the 10-K XBRL AmortizationOfIntangibleAssets tag reads $2,300M, a rounded figure) = $5,948M / $34,639M = 17.17%. Everything ELSE stays expensed: stock-based compensation $1,638M, acquisition-related and other costs $231M, the MI308 export charges. This is therefore NOT AMD's non-GAAP margin (22% for FY2025), which also strips out SBC. WHY: almost all of the amortization is Xilinx (2022, ~$49B paid in AMD stock) plus ZT Systems; it is a non-cash write-down of intangibles AMD already paid for, the shares issued for Xilinx are already in the diluted count, and it runs OFF on a filed schedule ($2,042M in 2027 falling to $1,457M in 2030). The engine holds D&A as a constant % of revenue, so keeping GAAP EBIT would bake a shrinking 2026 charge into the terminal year forever. See da_pct_revenue for the matching add-back and caveats for the IBM-method comparison. CROSS-CHECK, same derivation, H1 2026: GAAP operating income $3,466M + amortization $1,095M = $4,561M / $21,789M = 20.93%; Q2 2026 alone 21.97%. | 17.2% |
| Forecast revenue growthESTIMATEAssumption — TickerWorth's 5-year explicit forecast | 42% → 60% → 25% → 13% → 8% |
| Risk-free rateUS 10Y Treasury constant maturity (FRED DGS10): 5.24% on 2026-10-01, the latest published observation. House input shared by every model in this tracker. | 5.2% |
| BetaESTIMATEAssumption — normalized estimate (published 5Y-monthly beta 2.476, yfinance, 2026-10-03): Published 5Y-monthly beta is 2.476. NORMALIZED DOWN to 1.60 — GENEROUS (lowers the discount rate, raises the value), the same direction and level this tracker uses for its other AI-melt-up semiconductors (MU 1.60, SNDK 1.60, STX/WDC/SK hynix 1.50). Evidence the published figure is inflated by one event: I regressed AMD's monthly returns on the S&P 500 myself, and the same 60-month window ending 2025-12-31 gives 1.95, ending 2024-12-31 gives 1.66, ending 2023-12-31 gives 1.69; 2-year weekly is 1.82. The 2026 run (from ~$220 in early April to $634) adds ~0.5 on its own. 1.60 sits at the bottom of AMD's own pre-2026 range. Sizing: the published 2.476 gives ~$80/share; 1.80 gives ~$105. No beta closes the gap — see what_market_believes. | 1.60 |
| Terminal growthESTIMATEAssumption — house default: House default 2.5% (roughly long-run nominal GDP), kept for comparability with every other company in this tracker. FLAG: the drop from Year 5's 8% to 2.5% forever is abrupt for a company whose market argues it is early in a multi-year AI cycle; that is exactly where the disagreement with the price lives. A 3.5% terminal rate gives ~$125/share. Must remain well below WACC of 13.16%. | 2.5% |
| Diluted sharesESTIMATEAssumption — AMD Q2 2026 10-Q (accession 0000002488-26-000123, filed 2026-08-05) + estimate for customer warrants: REPORTED BASE + A STATED ADJUSTMENT. Q2 2026 weighted-average diluted shares were 1,659M (basic 1,632M + 27M employee equity under the treasury method); AMD guides ~1.66B for Q3. That count EXCLUDES two customer warrants, because per the 10-Q 'no warrant shares had vested or become exercisable' at 2026-06-27: OpenAI (October 2025) and Meta (February 2026), EACH for up to 160M shares at $0.01, vesting in tranches as each customer's Instinct GPU purchases scale from 1 to 6 gigawatts, plus stock-price conditions. THE FORECAST ASSUMES THE GPU REVENUE THAT VESTS THEM, so leaving them out would count the revenue and ignore what AMD paid for it. I add HALF the 320M maximum (+160M), a judgement: the first gigawatt of each deployment ships from 2H 2026, this model's Data Center path through 2030 plausibly covers several gigawatts per customer but not all twelve, and tranche sizes and price thresholds are redacted. 1,659 + 160 = 1,819M. LOWERS value: zero warrants gives ~$127/share, the full 320M gives ~$107. Not included: the pending all-stock World Labs acquisition ($8.2B in AMD shares, ~13M shares at today's price) — see special_cases. | 1,819M |

Is AMD overvalued or undervalued?
Our cash-flow model understates a business growing this fast, so we don't call AMD overvalued on it. Against a blend that leans on peer multiples, the price of $528.75 sits 140% above our estimate. This is an educational estimate, not advice.
What discount rate is used for AMD?
A WACC of 13.2% and a terminal growth rate of 2.5%.
Is Advanced Micro Devices stock undervalued?
TickerWorth's fair value for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is $220.04 against a market price of $528.75. Our read: 140% above fair value. This is a model estimate, not investment advice.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) DCF valuation and fair value
Our fair value for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is $220.04, built on a 13.2% discount rate (WACC) and 2.5% terminal growth. It blends our discounted-cash-flow model with other valuation lenses. Every assumption is listed on this page with its source.
What growth is priced into Advanced Micro Devices stock?
Today's price implies revenue growth of more than 25%/yr. Above about 25% a year the reverse-DCF stops being informative. It solves for revenue growth alone — holding margins, capital intensity and the forecast horizon fixed — so a price well above our cash-flow model's value has nowhere to go but growth, and the solver returns a rate the model can't reconcile. Read it as "the price implies growth we can't justify", not as a forecast. This is a reverse DCF: it holds our cash-flow model's other inputs and solves for the revenue growth that makes the model equal today's price of $528.75. A model estimate, not investment advice.
