$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ 🧠πŸ”₯βš”οΈ Nvidia Is Eating AMD’s Lunch: And the AI Buffet Isn’t Slowing βš”οΈπŸ”₯🧠

I’m extremely confident we’re watching a structural bifurcation unfold. AMD’s data center growth is collapsing, credibility is eroding, and the charts have snapped. Meanwhile, Nvidia just printed $30.77B in data center revenue, gained another $72B in free cash flow, and has pulled within $1T of the entire EuroStoxx 50.

Flash Verdict: Bullish $NVDA. Tactical Pause $AMD unless $168 is reclaimed.

I’m tactically cautious on AMD until it proves its Q2 decline is a one-off and not the beginning of a demand downgrade cycle. I’m betting $NVDA hits $5T before AMD sees another $3.85B quarter in data center revenue; prove me wrong.

πŸ“Š Chart Breakdown

πŸ“‰ AMD’s 4H chart: price collapsed 7.5% to $161.23 after rejecting the upper Bollinger band. RSI: 43.68. MACD: bearish crossover confirmed (DIF: -2.42, DEA: -0.81). The breakdown invalidated the $168 support zone and pierced the 21/55 EMAs with volume confirmation. Next major Fib zone support sits at $154.80. Below that, the liquidity shelf at $142.25 opens up.

πŸ“ˆ Nvidia’s 4H chart is still coiling bullishly. RSI: 58.77, MACD: DIF 2.41, DEA 1.06. Price is consolidating within a bullish Keltner compression zone near $176.80. Reclaims of $179.50 could trigger a squeeze toward $188. Major Bollinger support is at $172.60 with secondary support at $168.90.

πŸ’° Earnings Snapshot

AMD’s Q2-25 net income of $872M was an illusion. Samantha LaDuc reveals it was padded by:

β€’ $834M in one-time tax reserve release

β€’ $104M from discontinued ops

β€’ Strip them, and AMD booked a pre-tax loss

Their β€œfree cash flow” of $3B was also artificially inflated:

β€’ $330M came from factoring receivables

β€’ $836M from delayed vendor payments

In contrast, Nvidia’s Q2 FY25 earnings:

β€’ Data Center Revenue: $30.77B

β€’ Gaming: $3.28B

β€’ Total FCF: $72B

β€’ Operating Margin: 58%

β€’ Gross Margin: 70%

β€’ Net income growth: 422% YoY

Nvidia is executing, AMD is explaining.

πŸ“ˆ Segment Revenue Trajectory

πŸ“Š AMD’s Data Center Revenue: β€’ Sep24: $3.549B

β€’ Dec24 peak: $3.859B

β€’ Mar25: down to $3.674B

β€’ Jun25: further down to $3.240B

That’s two consecutive QoQ declines. YoY growth has collapsed from 122% (Q3-24) to just 14.5% in Q2-25. It’s not a pullback; it’s a trend reversal.

πŸ“Š Nvidia’s Revenue Chart (Q2 FY25):

β€’ Data Center: $30.77B

β€’ Gaming: $3.28B

β€’ Total: $33.9B

This was up from $26.27B the prior quarter and $22.56B before that. Nvidia’s Data Center has compounded over +1020% in 2.5 years. AMD grew +91% total return in 5 years.

🏦 ETF & Institutional Context

$NVDA is now ~20% of SMH and 6.8% of QQQ. $AMD sits at 3.6% and 1.2% respectively. BlackRock and Vanguard both increased $NVDA holdings last quarter; hedge funds like Coatue and Tiger Global rotated into NVDA but trimmed AMD.

EuroStoxx vs Nvidia (πŸ“ˆ Bloomberg chart): $NVDA’s market cap hit $4.313T, closing in on the entire EuroStoxx 50 index at $5.49T. That’s not just market cap; it’s geopolitical tech dominance.

πŸ“‰ Valuation & Margin Reality Check

Nvidia:

β€’ Forward P/E: 36x

β€’ 5Y Total Return: +1,474%

β€’ TTM Revenue: $149B

β€’ Gross Margin: 70%

β€’ Operating Margin: 58%

β€’ 5Y ROIC: 75%

AMD:

β€’ Forward P/E: 42x (more expensive!)

β€’ 5Y Total Return: +91%

β€’ TTM Revenue: $28B

β€’ Gross Margin: 54%

β€’ Operating Margin: 10%

β€’ 5Y ROIC: 20%

Nvidia is cheaper on forward valuation while printing 6x the revenue and 7x the cash flow.

πŸ“£ Analyst Sentiment & PTs

β€’ Morgan Stanley: Overweight NVDA, PT $1500 (implied $6T)

β€’ BofA: NVDA PT $1350, citing unmatched acceleration in H100/H200 demand and sovereign cloud orders

β€’ Susquehanna: Downgraded AMD post-Q2 citing β€œAI deceleration risk” and β€œinventory overhang”

🧠 Rule of 40 Frontier

Nvidia: 122

AMD: Off the chart

Palantir: 94

TSMC: 88

Meta: 76

AVGO: 72

MSFT: 67

AAPL: 43

AMZN: 29

TSLA: -5

Nvidia is in a class of its own, AMD is sliding off the grid.

🧨 My Trade Plan

NVDA: I’m long with conviction above $172.60. Watching for a break above $179.50 with volume to re-enter swing. If it clears $188, the $200 psychological and $210 Fib extension come fast.

AMD: Tactical pause. Unless $168 is reclaimed, I’m expecting rotation out of semis with weak internals. Breakdown confirmation below $154.80 opens up $142.25, which aligns with the 55 EMA monthly. That’s where I might nibble long.

🧠 Final Thesis: AMD Isn’t Even in the Same Weight Class

Nvidia isn’t winning; it’s dominating every vector: revenue growth, margins, capital efficiency, TAM expansion, geopolitics, and ETF flows. AMD has to fight for scraps at hyperscalers while NVDA is dictating pricing at every tier of the AI stack.

This isn’t just divergence; it’s detachment.

Profit Turnaround+High Growth! Hidden Gems of Earnings Season?
This earnings season is nearing its end β€” which companies beat expectations or turned profitable, and which ones deserve more attention? During past turnarounds, many growth stocks achieved outsized gains. High-growth companies that turned profitable include DASH, OKTA, NTNX, TMDX, TOST, and RELY. In addition, Chinese ADRs this season should not be overlooked. Niu Technologies turned profitable in Q2, with its stock surging over 30%. Bilibili profit turned around, but shares fell 6% yesterday. Miniso's TOP TOY Revenue +73% and Jumped 6% on Earnings, continued to surge.

    I’ve been watching that RSI and MACD drift on AMD since their last print, and you nailed the credibility gap. The fact they’re trading at a higher forward P/E than Nvidia while shrinking their data center revs is wild. Makes $AVGO look like a value pick in comparison.
    • Barcode:Β 
      You’re right. That forward P/E gap should not exist given AMD’s DC trajectory. $AVGO has efficiency, margin strength, and still pulls AI exposure. The market is still pricing AMD off past growth rather than current erosion.

    πŸ§ƒcan we talk about how nvda is pushing $5T and amd’s still trying to hold $168? the detachment is real. every section had a setup that made me stop scrolling. mad respect for that β€œmarket reckoning” callout, it hits different when you’re watching fibs get torched.

      You nailed it. Once AMD lost $168 the detachment became structural. Nvidia’s price is not just technical, it is backed by 70 percent margins and $72B in FCF. That is not hype, it is scale. Appreciate the comment, this deserves more heat.

    πŸ’₯this read like a mic drop. that β€œnvidia isn’t winning, it’s dominating” line? cold. the way you laid out the cash flow gap makes AMD look like it’s cosplaying as an AI stock. $PLTR might legit have better commercial growth right now.

      That means a lot. The PLTR comparison is fair too since at least they are building revenue consistency. AMD still has strong silicon, but structurally it is not positioned to dictate terms. Nvidia is doing that now across every channel.
