The company doesn’t release sales figures from the two-day discount event, but analysts estimated the results were either in line with their expectations or slightly softer than years’ past.\nEven if Prime Day sales grew slower than last year, most investors still expect Amazon to report a strong second quarter. Analysts surveyed by FactSet project Amazon to haul in sales of $115.4 billion during the quarter, an increase of 29.8% year over year. Amazon guided for second-quarter revenue to be between $110 billion and $116 billion.\nHere are four other things investors will be watching for in Amazon’s earnings report:\n1. Q3 caution\nThe key figure for investors watching for a post-pandemic slowdown will be Amazon’s third-quarter outlook.\nThere’s some uncertainty that the pandemic-fueled e-commerce momentum could cool off as the economy reopens and consumers spend more on travel and services.\nBut a rise in more contagious Covid-19 delta variant cases could push consumers to shift more of their shopping back online as a precautionary measure, which would benefit Amazon and other digital retailers. Analysts have also highlighted that Amazon stands to benefit from a robust back-to-school shopping season and the expanded child tax credit.\n“If anything, a slight moderation in growth this quarter will help to recalibrate expectations for the next few periods,” UBS analysts wrote in a note to clients. “The important point is this print will serve as a healthy reminder that AMZN has a dominant position in a secular trend that will continue for some time.”\n2. New CEO\nAmazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos handed over the CEO role to Andy Jassy on July 5, in one of the most closely watched executive transitions in recent history.\nInvestors will be looking to see if Jassy, who previously led Amazon’s cloud-computing division, offers any insight into his strategic plans or top priorities for the company moving forward. Jassy could address investors directly on Amazon’s quarterly earnings call Thursday evening. But if his predecessor’s choices are any guide, that’s unlikely. The last time Bezos appeared on an earnings call was April 2009.\n3. One-day delivery\nChief financial officer Brian Olsavsky said on the company’s earnings call last quarter that Amazon was working hard to get its one-day shipment percentages back up to pre-pandemic levels.\nAmazon’s fulfillment and logistics operations were heavily disrupted when the Covid-19 pandemic caused a surge in online ordering, resulting in longer delivery times and bottlenecks in the company’s warehouses. Within the last year, however, Amazon has expanded its physical footprint at a rapid clip, giving it more capacity to handle orders.\nThat’s led to one- and same-day shipping to return to normal levels in some areas, Amazon executives previously said.\n4. MGM\nAmazon announced May 26 it’s buying MGM Studios for $8.45 billion, representing the second-largest acquisition in its history. The Federal Trade Commission is reportedly investigating the acquisition.\nInvestors will be watching for any commentary from Amazon around the regulatory scrutiny, as well as any color on its content plans.\nThe company revealed in its latest annual report that it spent $11 billion on content for its streaming video and music services last year. Its content budget could swell further if the MGM deal gets the greenlight, giving Amazon the opportunity to mine the studio’s archives for future spinoffs and remakes.\nThe Hollywood studio owns a vast catalog of titles, including the James Bond franchise, and hit TV shows like “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Fargo.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":226,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808611683,"gmtCreate":1627572995042,"gmtModify":1703492726156,"author":{"id":"4089594900650180","authorId":"4089594900650180","name":"Updownupdown","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e78ab5f2bade9162c2f8ea75bf7bc42","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089594900650180","authorIdStr":"4089594900650180"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/808611683","repostId":"2155188411","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155188411","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1627572637,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155188411?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-29 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Reasons AMD Is a Buy After Q2 2021 Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155188411","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Advanced Micro Devices is no longer an underdog; it's a leading chip designer gobbling up market share.","content":"<p><b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (NASDAQ:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a>) transformation from also-ran chip company to dominant designer of next-gen computing hardware is complete.

Extra supply equated to a sales beat</h2>\n<p>AMD reported revenue of $3.85 billion in Q2, up 99% from a year ago and an acceleration from the 93% pace set in Q1. To be fair, the spring quarter was lapping the period during the first economic lockdowns in 2020 when sales were sparse. However, let's not take too much away from AMD. Semiconductor industry titan <b>Intel </b>was lapping a poor showing from a year ago too, but recently reported flat revenue in its Q2 2021.</p>\n<p>The $3.85 billion in sales actually beat CEO Dr. Lisa Su and the company's guidance provided a few months ago by $150 million. Su attributed part of the outperformance to AMD's ability to coax some extra supply from its chip fabrication partners during the last three-month period. More supply is expected to come online during the second half of 2021, but the global chip shortage will likely continue into 2022.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, AMD's Q2 beat and further advance on the supply side led Su and the top team to raise its outlook for full-year 2021 sales growth. Revenue is now expected to be up approximately 60% from 2020, compared to previous guidance for 50% growth.</p>\n<h2>2. Years of market share gains could lie ahead</h2>\n<p>The former underdog now has an advanced lineup of chips -- on many fronts, more advanced than the flagging Intel -- and as a result, reported yet another quarter of growth across its entire product line.</p>\n<p>During Q2, AMD said half of the world's newest and fastest supercomputers were powered by its EPYC data center CPUs (central processing units). <b>Alphabet</b>'s Google Cloud also announced big leaps in price-to-performance using EPYC CPUs versus peers, no doubt helping lead to the increased adoption of the chips in cloud computing and data centers. And on the consumer chip front, <b>Tesla</b> chose AMD hardware to power the infotainment system in the latest Model S and Model X.</p>\n<p>These market share gains could continue for some time at AMD. The company's next-gen products utilizing 5-nanometer architecture (the smallest and highest-performing chips) are coming in 2022 -- well ahead of the product roadmap at rival Intel.</p>\n<h2>3. AMD is now a highly profitable firm</h2>\n<p>As AMD's technology has improved and sales have gained, its profitability profile has also been significantly raised. In Q2 2021, operating profit margin was 22% -- helping it break from the below-industry average, single-digit percentage operating margin it was stuck in for years. Free cash flow generated in the quarter was $888 million.</p>\n<p>The implications of this are significant. AMD can now comfortably invest in itself from cash it generates, and go shopping with the excess when an opportunity arises. Take <b>Xilinx </b>(NASDAQ:XLNX), for example. The acquisition of the leading field-programmable gate array (FPGA) company will close by the end of this year and open up yet another front on which AMD can attack Intel. Adding Xilinx to the mix will also further boost AMD's profit margin and research and development capabilities. This is a great match for the company and will position it for many more years of expansion.</p>\n<h2>Investor takeaway</h2>\n<p>AMD's stock now trades for 46 times trailing-12-month free cash flow. Considering the growth it expects to generate on its own and the looming addition of Xilinx, shares look like a long-term value right now.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Reasons AMD Is a Buy After Q2 2021 Earnings</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Reasons AMD Is a Buy After Q2 2021 Earnings\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-29 23:30 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/29/3-reasons-amd-is-a-buy-after-q2-2021-earnings/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) transformation from also-ran chip company to dominant designer of next-gen computing hardware is complete.

The company doesn’t release sales figures from the two-day discount event, but analysts estimated the results were either in line with their expectations or slightly softer than years’ past.\nEven if Prime Day sales grew slower than last year, most investors still expect Amazon to report a strong second quarter. Analysts surveyed by FactSet project Amazon to haul in sales of $115.4 billion during the quarter, an increase of 29.8% year over year. Amazon guided for second-quarter revenue to be between $110 billion and $116 billion.\nHere are four other things investors will be watching for in Amazon’s earnings report:\n1. Q3 caution\nThe key figure for investors watching for a post-pandemic slowdown will be Amazon’s third-quarter outlook.\nThere’s some uncertainty that the pandemic-fueled e-commerce momentum could cool off as the economy reopens and consumers spend more on travel and services.\nBut a rise in more contagious Covid-19 delta variant cases could push consumers to shift more of their shopping back online as a precautionary measure, which would benefit Amazon and other digital retailers. Analysts have also highlighted that Amazon stands to benefit from a robust back-to-school shopping season and the expanded child tax credit.\n“If anything, a slight moderation in growth this quarter will help to recalibrate expectations for the next few periods,” UBS analysts wrote in a note to clients. “The important point is this print will serve as a healthy reminder that AMZN has a dominant position in a secular trend that will continue for some time.”\n2. New CEO\nAmazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos handed over the CEO role to Andy Jassy on July 5, in one of the most closely watched executive transitions in recent history.\nInvestors will be looking to see if Jassy, who previously led Amazon’s cloud-computing division, offers any insight into his strategic plans or top priorities for the company moving forward. Jassy could address investors directly on Amazon’s quarterly earnings call Thursday evening. But if his predecessor’s choices are any guide, that’s unlikely. The last time Bezos appeared on an earnings call was April 2009.\n3. One-day delivery\nChief financial officer Brian Olsavsky said on the company’s earnings call last quarter that Amazon was working hard to get its one-day shipment percentages back up to pre-pandemic levels.\nAmazon’s fulfillment and logistics operations were heavily disrupted when the Covid-19 pandemic caused a surge in online ordering, resulting in longer delivery times and bottlenecks in the company’s warehouses. Within the last year, however, Amazon has expanded its physical footprint at a rapid clip, giving it more capacity to handle orders.\nThat’s led to one- and same-day shipping to return to normal levels in some areas, Amazon executives previously said.\n4. MGM\nAmazon announced May 26 it’s buying MGM Studios for $8.45 billion, representing the second-largest acquisition in its history. The Federal Trade Commission is reportedly investigating the acquisition.\nInvestors will be watching for any commentary from Amazon around the regulatory scrutiny, as well as any color on its content plans.\nThe company revealed in its latest annual report that it spent $11 billion on content for its streaming video and music services last year. Its content budget could swell further if the MGM deal gets the greenlight, giving Amazon the opportunity to mine the studio’s archives for future spinoffs and remakes.\nThe Hollywood studio owns a vast catalog of titles, including the James Bond franchise, and hit TV shows like “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Fargo.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":226,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808611683,"gmtCreate":1627572995042,"gmtModify":1703492726156,"author":{"id":"4089594900650180","authorId":"4089594900650180","name":"Updownupdown","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e78ab5f2bade9162c2f8ea75bf7bc42","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089594900650180","authorIdStr":"4089594900650180"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/808611683","repostId":"2155188411","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155188411","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1627572637,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155188411?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-29 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Reasons AMD Is a Buy After Q2 2021 Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155188411","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Advanced Micro Devices is no longer an underdog; it's a leading chip designer gobbling up market share.","content":"<p><b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (NASDAQ:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a>) transformation from also-ran chip company to dominant designer of next-gen computing hardware is complete.

Years of market share gains could lie ahead\nThe former underdog now has an advanced lineup of chips -- on many fronts, more advanced than the flagging Intel -- and as a result, reported yet another quarter of growth across its entire product line.\nDuring Q2, AMD said half of the world's newest and fastest supercomputers were powered by its EPYC data center CPUs (central processing units). Alphabet's Google Cloud also announced big leaps in price-to-performance using EPYC CPUs versus peers, no doubt helping lead to the increased adoption of the chips in cloud computing and data centers. And on the consumer chip front, Tesla chose AMD hardware to power the infotainment system in the latest Model S and Model X.\nThese market share gains could continue for some time at AMD. The company's next-gen products utilizing 5-nanometer architecture (the smallest and highest-performing chips) are coming in 2022 -- well ahead of the product roadmap at rival Intel.\n3. AMD is now a highly profitable firm\nAs AMD's technology has improved and sales have gained, its profitability profile has also been significantly raised. In Q2 2021, operating profit margin was 22% -- helping it break from the below-industry average, single-digit percentage operating margin it was stuck in for years. Free cash flow generated in the quarter was $888 million.\nThe implications of this are significant. AMD can now comfortably invest in itself from cash it generates, and go shopping with the excess when an opportunity arises. Take Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX), for example. The acquisition of the leading field-programmable gate array (FPGA) company will close by the end of this year and open up yet another front on which AMD can attack Intel. Adding Xilinx to the mix will also further boost AMD's profit margin and research and development capabilities. This is a great match for the company and will position it for many more years of expansion.\nInvestor takeaway\nAMD's stock now trades for 46 times trailing-12-month free cash flow. Considering the growth it expects to generate on its own and the looming addition of Xilinx, shares look like a long-term value right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":264,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
