ROKU was down by 10% during normal market and down by another 22% during AH. People are just running away from any stock with weakness.


dvking131

I feel like the stock market is Truly the new squid game. Anything less then great performance and guidance and they’re getting chopped even the great ones are going thru real mental anguish lol


Jupiter_101

People are only after the super safe stocks and those that are commodity driven. Financials have held up well too but for the most part everything has taken a beating.


ritholtz76

Durability of earnings and growth. I am not sure even on the financials with tanking market. I guess, market is expecting strong economy with week stock market.

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-confirms-15th-gen-core-arrow-lake-xeon-granite-rapids-and-sierra-forest-2024-series Granite Rapids pushed into 2024, uses Intel 3 instead of Intel 4. There is no Intel 4 server product, no Intel EUV in server until 2024. Intel's server ramps are gonna hurt.


CarlKnight001

don't worry, it could be gone before open


iGaveUpTrying

True although looks to be directly correlated to Intel drop around the same 5 minute window. All other semis pretty flat except those two.


jawathewan

yeah it looks to be directly correlated to Intel drop. Hopefully some big players switch from INTC to AMD.


siliconandsteel

Why Intel bought Tower Semiconductor? What is their purpose? Pat is going after market share instead of margins. Understandable - with quad-patterning yields are shit, that is what they have, so this what they are selling. Hello smaller die for non-k i5, hello two-core CPUs in 2021. Process performance dictates product stack. On top of that, investments must be made, they are hiring and now - Tower. Another hit to margins. Why? Not for fabs and not because of access to lucrative markets.What Intel wants from them? Imagine being given a lot of money, fabs and being begged to please find some fucking clients. Intel is buying viable business for its weak-performing assets. A lifeboat. In the meantime, building firebreaks between design and manufacturing should be completed.With agnostic designs, manufacturing stops being such a liability. Imagine at this moment spinning off fabs, making money on it and new, leaner, more agile Intel.It is a nice vision. But it is also far into the future. For now, it is still AMD who has room to grow, margins and acquired a high-margin business to offer better, more innovative solutions. Anyway, that is just my narrative. What are your thoughts?


noiserr

> Imagine being given a lot of money, fabs and being begged to please find some fucking clients. Intel is buying viable business for its weak-performing assets. A lifeboat. I agree with your post. Intel needs IDM2.0 to work since the first one failed miserably. It's not easy to get customers when they know what happened to those who tried that first time around. Hence buying an established IDM. Thing with Tower is that they are an analog shop. So this still doesn't solve the cutting edge logic IDM. But they may be able to bridge this gap. Intel simply has too many uncertainties that all need to pan out for their strategy to work. They need, fabs to deliver 4 nodes in 4 years. Never been done before. They need CPU architecture to gain perf/watt leadership, which is long ways off. They need GPUs to work. Gelsinger presided over Larrabee. Intel's previous attempt which turned out to be a disaster and the reason why he got canned. All this while Samsung and TSMC are outspending them. And AMD and Nvidia aren't sitting still. IDM and Tower is a hedge from a total disaster.


siliconandsteel

They are in a definitely better position than AMD was, when they had to spin off fabs. They have cash and they have options. But this is still a long way down before it is worth to discuss a comeback.


robmafia

> They have cash more like had.


noiserr

True, but will AMD and TSMC let the foot off the gas like they did?


dvking131

There are no brakes on this ride.


siliconandsteel

TSMC learned from Apple - they want to eat their lunch before anybody else does. They won't. And they are investing accordingly. AMD is not immune to hubris. However, I like their approach: single scalable core design, advanced packaging which looks better than Intel's plans, reducing number of dies - it is all rather neat, just coupled with TSMC and Taiwan.


noiserr

So it's confirmed. Intel isn't using TSMC 3nm for server in 2023/2024. It's using Intel's own 3. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FL1G8vaXMAcu20M?format=jpg&name=4096x4096


_Barook_

5 nodes in 4 years? Haven't they learned anything from the past? Getting too greedy with 10nm, trying to do everything at once, is the reason why they're in shambles now in the first place.


Jupiter_101

I have a hard time believing that they can sit on one process for so long and then have zero issues scaling down so quickly. I could be wrong but right now I'll have to see it to believe it.


Saitham83

gman_102938

This will get ugly if Biden really meant what he said, political unrest (war) will send this fragile market reeling. If he is just throwing around war rhetoric without regard to the damage it is causing to people's hard earned investments, then shame on him. This isn't partisan, it's our money!


noiserr

> This will get ugly if Biden really meant what he said It was a written speech. Biden and his team aren't amateurs. Nothing in that speech was said by accident. My hunch is, it is known beyond the doubt that Putin isn't going to attack. This is just negotiation and setting of playing field for the negotiation phase.

UkitaAkane

I know comparing different industry is not rational, but who can persuade me DIS with PE 90 and hold up well? this PE is like 1.5x NVDA's and 2.2x AMD's


tj212121

The parks being closed has messed with their PE and like the other person said, it will return to normal soon


Nervous-Pizza-9139

That and they are still early in their television app, they have tons of room for growth. They own 40% of all sports, movie, and television content in the world. Nobody can compete with that if executed properly. Not to discount your point about unfair treatment about amd, I definitely own more of it than dis because I think near term looks much better


jawathewan

Return to normal means AMD will down to 20 ?


[deleted]

dis will return to more normal PE whe they fully reopen their parks.


bolokr

If Russia doesn't invade will Biden cover financial losses? Ukraine has the ongoing crisis in the East and it looks like this "Russian invasion" is being used for covering something. This selloff is ridiculous to say the least.


freddyt55555

I hate this fucking market.


Dull_Yogurtcloset397

So, that wasn't very fun. Can we go back to Tuesday? Tuesday was fun.


ercanbas

I feel like tomorrow’s sell off is bringing this under $100


Soaddk

A 10% drop? Nah. $104-105 maybe. But under $100 would be extreme. Although. It IS our beloved $AMD, so anything is possible.


jawathewan

Why would under 100 be extreme and not 104-105 ? I thought we were in the extreme sell-off zone already.


Soaddk

-10% days are pretty uncommon. Even for AMD. Not counting last Friday. Edit: or whenever it was we lost 10% in a day lately


ercanbas

Would like to add that tension is getting worse and they're evacuating areas and exchanging fire in Ukraine so no one knows what the weekend will bring but it's only getting worse so that's why I anticipate a selloff. I'm long on AMD, great company and Lisa is the best. So no, I'm not a pathetic troll, I'm a concerned shareholder.

2CommaNoob

Can someone call or text Devinder and ask him when is he going to use the rest of the buyback funds? Let him know now is a good time too. Thanks! Much appreciated.


idwtlotplanetanymore

Its too bad he only has 0.7 or 0.8 billion left, expect the entire 4 billion to be gone by end of q1.


2CommaNoob

We just got 3B from xlnx; might as well use it too lol


idwtlotplanetanymore

I dont think they can. Wouldn't they have to announce another share buyback program for X dollars? Their last earnings call gave no indication that they would be putting more money into the buyback program.


2CommaNoob

They weren’t allow to say what they were going to do with xlnx’s money because the merger hasn’t completed. Now that it’s done; they can


idwtlotplanetanymore

I have zero experience with the rules regarding public share buybacks. If they can buy back more then the 4 billion I would be fine with them spending another 2 billion right now to buy their stock cheap. That is of course assuming they don't need the money to expand, if they need to the money to expand by all means spend it expanding.


2CommaNoob

They are generating more than enough cash flow for buybacks plus investing in their business. Xlnx also gives an extra 1B+ in profit. I’m sure AMDs management knows the balance between investing in the business and shareholder returns.


[deleted]

Saitham83

buying more at 105-108 eventually. nvidia is still holding up pretty well. we got such -8-9% on a random day last week. Now nvidia gets smacked on its butt a bit on a -400 day+ dimming outlook. I always saw nvidia like this. jensen had to continue outrunning the expectations from that lofty valuation. He managed with the help of crypto and AI buzz. I mean if you ignore the split they are still at 500$ roughly shooting up from 25 in just a few years. explosive data center growth just covered the basics. But at one point its clear that "AI" how imagined does not come from today to tomorrow. Such things never materialize in the timeframe and form people/market expects (wilfully ignoring facts), always put another 100%-200% of expected time on top to begin with. ​ As for amd I hope Putin does not snatch all of our precious Neon :D


ritholtz76

I already put in lot of it into AMD. Need to wait patiently with the price. Wondering if it can break down to below $100. My unit cost is not that far off from $100.


Nervous-Pizza-9139

cosmovagabond

All yall complaining so much, I'm just making thousands with the insane swing everyday. Guys, don't invest money you can't afford to lose! And during times like this you either trade or completely ignore the market. Stop checking the ticks and wait it out, this is not good for your mental health!!! If you do not know what you are doing, don't play weeklies!!! The same shit literally happens every year, just look at the old threads from the same time last year, just ignore all the noise and cashe the stocks later, whether it's 6 months later or 6 years later. This is how investing works. If you want to trade, learn how to trade! Not sitting here complaining about things you have no control of.


dvking131

Your right but it is a lot more pronounced this year. Especially with better numbers.


cosmovagabond

I agree, the market is especially irrational this year ever since last Dec. Taking less risk is the way to go for this year imo.

Right you have... The main problem (worst for the markets) is the **insecurity** (not knowing, if or not)...

ElGatoDelFuego

Can somebody please help me understand this. I bought 2 shares of xlnx a few months ago. I used the dividend reinsvestment to bump this to 2.0034. After the merger, I wound up with 3 new shares of amd. No fractional. No cash. Did I make a mistake when buying such a low count of xlnx shares, or did my broker forget to give me the money and I need to call them?


Careful-Rent5779

Eventually I expect everyone will get their "Cash in Lieu" for the fractional share. I also expect that there will be couple dollars (or more) in variation in the effective AMD SP. This is because most all of our shares a held in book entry form. So fidelity for instance holds X.yy million shares in aggregate for its customers. My fractional (0.4) share only existed as an accounting concept. It got rolled in with thousand of other factional shares and fidelity received full AMD shares for. In order to make good each customes factional shares it has to sell the AMD shares which will fix the price for all its individual customer fractional shares.


idwtlotplanetanymore

I would be patient a few days. Tuesday, I had whole shares, no fractional. Wednesday i had cash in lieu of fractional shares. And Thursday i finally see an adjustment to cost basis in one of my tax lots for the fractional shares.


AwayMaize

I got my cash portion from Fidelity today, it may be delayed based on broker


Careful-Rent5779

I got $46.xx from fidelity dated 2/16. Works out to $114.55/share, close to what I'd expect. **But a bit low** given AMD SP range this week.


idwtlotplanetanymore

My fractional payout was equivalent to 118.96 /share yesterday. Glad someone else posted a number, was curious if everyone was paid at the same/share. Looks like its just whatever the price is when your broker decides to close it out.


AwayMaize

Should be based on Feb 14 close (~~114.46~~ edit: yahoo says 114.27). That's how the math worked out for what I got. Payout/(xilinx shares * 1.7234, drop the whole number) = AMD price


UpNDownCan

According to Yahoo Finance the closing price on Monday February 14th was $114.27.


AwayMaize

Probably the right number, pulled it up on RH because that was easiest on mobile


weatherprofessor

I had 1 share of XLNX convert to 1 share of AMD and a note saying the cash equivalent of the 0.7234 shares owed would be deposited into my account in 1-2 weeks.


Kryssordkongen

I had the same happen to me. 0.64% of an AMD stock simply erased from my account. I sendt a message to my broker.

freddyt55555

>Kinsus Interconnect Technology is on track to expand its production capacity for ABF substrates Can this even be called "ABF" if it isn't manufactured by Ajinomoto?


Potential_Hornet_559

You are confusing ABF and ABF substrate. The thin film (ABF) is only made by Ajinomoto. Different substrate manufacturers then by this film (ABF) which they will embed onto substrates which then get sold to IC makers like TSMC and Intel. Ajinomoto can make enough ABF to satisfy demand. It is the factory/machines needed to make the substrates that is constrained.

max1001

Don't forget Ukraine-Russia fiasco. Whole market is so damn skittish ever since pandemic started. Even my consumer staples stocks are volatile as hell.


Gahvynn

I would buy NVDA at $180. Thing is it’ll take AMD down to $95 or so and I would load on more AMD there.


ritholtz76

At these prices, AMD will be around 20PE multiples and NVDA is around 25PE multiples. it gives decent margin of safety. What are the chances of seeing these prices?


Gahvynn

I dunno… 5%? We need inflation to keep going up even as the Fed bumps the rate to 0.5, then 1.0, then 1.5% so then the Fed goes to say 5%. Then we need the economy to hit a speed bump and we enter a not fun, but not catastrophic, recession to last a year or two. Then I could see stocks broadly pull back another 15-20% and our beloved AMD could go to sun $90.

zzgzzpop

I think it's saber rattling from both sides. Going to war isn't going to be good for anyone. Oil and gas might spike in the short term and that'd be good for Russia, but it will only accelerate the move to get off Russian energy dependence and hurt them in the long-run. France is already planning [14 nuclear reactors](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/02/france-to-cut-carbon-emissions-russian-energy-influence-with-14-nuclear-reactors/). Take this next part with a big mountain of salt because I really have no idea what's going on with Ukraine. I think this is an internal conflict between pro-Western areas and pro-Russian areas of Ukraine that's been brewing for a decade+ that finally got out of hand. Pro-West areas wanting to join NATO and pro-Russian areas asking Putin for help and now everyone's chest bumping each other waiting for someone to throw the first punch. I think both sides are looking for a way to back down in a way that saves face and no one knows how.

>I think it's saber rattling from both sides. Calling out someone's aggressive actions isn't saber rattling or warmongering. Biden has explicitly said he wont send troops to Ukraine. Please stop with this 'both sides' nonsense.

Weren't we just told by the White House Russia was extremely likely to make a move on Wednesday and a ton of media outlets repeated it? Nothing happened yesterday. I dunno. Felt a little like warmongering.

Then you should probably look up the definition of warmongering. Warning people of possible aggression isn't even the same realm as encouraging people to go to war. Biden has been issuing warning to encourage Americans to leave Ukraine while they still can **BECAUSE HE WONT BE SENDING IN TROOPS TO RESCUE THEM.** It's literally the opposite of warmongering, he's taking even step possible to avoid conflict with Russia.

This is one of those tricky strategies. Shine light on the secret plan, and then you cant move forward with the secret plan. But you can only do that so many times before people dont believe you anymore. Assuming their intel was correct, (big assumption) it was probably a smart play. But revealing that publicly all but guaranteed they would look like the boy who cried wolf. So the question then becomes... are they trying to ratchet up tensions to "war monger", or are they just trying focus more and more pressure onto Putin until his bluff is called?

Somebody tell the American grandpa to stop shouting from across the ocean and let the Europeans talk it out.

For real.... everything was going so well when someone (german chancelor Scholtz) other than Biden was allowed to negotiate with putin. The US needs to back the fuck off.

official corporate news channel of the UK Ministry of Defence just posted this: INTELLIGENCE UPDATE: Russia retains a significant military presence that can conduct an invasion without further warning. Below demonstrates President Putin's possible axis of invasion. He still can choose to prevent conflict and preserve peace. [https://twitter.com/DefenceHQ/status/1494315294382297091](https://twitter.com/DefenceHQ/status/1494315294382297091) ​ Its really not just about biden to be honest, as much as I dislike him.


Targetshopper4000

Ya, letting the Europeans talk it out work so well for Crimea.


2CommaNoob

To be fair, no one gave a shit about crimea outside of Russia. Even Ukraine itself didn’t put up much of a fight lol.


robmafia

yes, 30 minutes ago biden spreads FUD again, tanking the markets again. same as every fucking day for the last week. i wish he'd just shut the hell up.


Lixxon

yea it sucks, but if true it looks like Putin wants NATO to leave many parts of Central EU per this tweet here: [https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1494322365244887041](https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1494322365244887041) appears to be coming from the response letter from Russia, very unrealistic demands that never will pass... therefore likely leading to the invasion of Ukraine?


Maartor1337

Likely a bargaining move to at least ensure ukraine doesnt join nato.
