What's Going On With AMD Stock?

Advanced Micro Devices Inc AMD shares are trading lower by 10.4% to $87.07 since Monday’s open. The stock is pressured by new U.S. government restrictions on AI chip exports to China and select regions.

What To Know: The Trump administration's latest controls now require licenses for AMD's MI308 processors to be sold in China, Hong Kong, Macau and several countries under the D:5 designation. In response, AMD recorded an $800 million inventory charge and is bracing for a $1.5–$1.8 billion revenue hit—roughly 10% of its expected 2025 data center sales.

The new export rules are part of a broader tightening of AI technology flows to China amid national security concerns. While Chinese demand for AI infrastructure remains high, analysts expect local firms to accelerate their shift to domestic chip solutions like Huawei's Ascend or custom-built ASICs.

Though analysts have shown some optimism, the impact of export rules and controls could be felt across the full year, not just in the short term, adding pressure to AMD's competitive positioning against NVIDIA and other peers in the AI chip space.

As custom AI chips remain exempt from the new rules, companies offering bespoke silicon may gain ground while AMD faces ongoing headwinds.

How To Buy AMD Stock

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.

For example, in Advanced Micro Devices’ case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

According to data from Benzinga Pro, AMD has a 52-week high of $187.28 and a 52-week low of $76.48.
