AMD Shares Drop 7.52% Ahead of Earnings
Investors tracking AMD should watch Tuesday's fiscal third-quarter report and its management call for guidance on the chip supplier's outlook.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Public Companies
AMD shares fell 7.52% to $466.84 at Monday's close, down $37.96 from the prior close of $504.80, on 32.14 million shares traded. The chip designer is scheduled to report fiscal third-quarter results after the market closes Tuesday, which affects investors and operators tracking semiconductor sector sentiment.
Why it matters
The drop came ahead of earnings, a point when share prices often reflect uncertainty about quarterly performance. For businesses that depend on semiconductor pricing and supply, a sharp single-day move in a major chip supplier's stock is a signal to watch, though the extraction does not identify a cause for the decline.
AMD closed at $466.84, a loss of $37.96 or 7.52% from the prior close of $504.80, on volume of 32.14 million shares. The day's intraday range spanned $466.07 to $512.82.
