When AMD Reports Its Next Quarter and How to Confirm the Date
AMD announced its fiscal Q3 2026 report date on Oct. 6, about four weeks before it reported after the close on Nov. 3. Because Q3 is already out, the AMD report date to watch is Q4 2026, which is not yet on AMD's confirmed calendar.
Track confirmation on the live earnings calendar, which updates as companies confirm dates. Treat any date that has not come from an AMD press release as provisional.
- Last report: fiscal Q3 2026, Nov. 3, 2026, after market close

How AMD Earnings Dates Are Set and Why They Shift
AMD sets each date through a press release, typically around four weeks ahead. Any date before that release is an estimate built from past schedules, which is how the Feb. 2, 2027 figure was derived.
Third-party pages disagree on details. Several calendars still list Nov. 3 as upcoming, and some show a 6 p.m. ET call while AMD's release says 5 p.m. ET. When sources conflict, the company release controls.
- Q3 2026 date announced Oct. 6, about four weeks ahead of the report
- Q4 2025 reported Feb. 3, 2026; Q4 2026 estimate is Feb. 2, 2027
- Stale calendar entries still show Nov. 3 as the next report
- Call time conflict: 5 p.m. ET (AMD) vs. 6 p.m. ET (some third-party pages)
What Moves AMD Stock on Earnings Day: Data Center, Guidance, and Margins

How to Read the Options Market and Investor Chatter Before the Report

How AMD's Earnings Compare with NVIDIA and Intel Reports
The research for this post does not confirm NVIDIA or Intel report dates, so check each company's investor relations calendar before comparing timing. The sentiment gap between the three names is wide in the Fintwit tracker.
NVIDIA screens stronger on investor flow than AMD, while Intel screens weakest on both score and flow. Broadcom (AVGO) and TSMC (TSM) also sit in the same tracker and are worth monitoring as read-throughs.
- NVIDIA (NVDA): $178.67; score 84; bullish; 30-day -22.1%; 4.9% bought vs. 1.1% sold on X; median target $260.0
- Intel (INTC): $59.37; score 64; bearish; 30-day -43.3%; 1.1% bought vs. 2.7% sold on X; median target $62.0
- AMD (AMD): $508.58; score 82; bullish; 30-day -16.4%; 2.7% bought vs. 2.3% sold on X; median target $500.0
- Micron (MU): 30-day -28.8%; median target $1,050.0
How to Plan Your Position Around an AMD Earnings Date
A single AMD print has historically moved the stock 8% to 10%, which can outweigh weeks of normal trading. Direction has not followed the beat: the Motley Fool headline on the Q3 print read, "AMD Stock Jumped After Its Report. I'd Wait for a Lower Price to Buy."
Stock reaction data conflict. One report says shares closed about 1% higher on Nov. 4, while Trefis reports a 17.3% drop on Nov. 5 from a single source that still needs verification. Confirm the closing prices yourself before drawing conclusions.
- Confirm the date on ir.amd.com before setting any alert
- Decide position size against an 8% to 10% historical move
- Check the Q4 guide against the roughly $17B target
- Watch free cash flow against the $554M Q3 level
- Compare the 2027 outlook of above 80% growth with the print
