§Winston Score History

The full picture

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) designs computer chips used in everything from gaming consoles to data centers. Its main products are CPUs (central processing units) and GPUs (graphics processing units), sold to customers like Microsoft, Sony, Meta, and cloud computing companies. AMD competes directly with Intel in PC and server chips and with Nvidia in graphics and AI accelerator chips.

AMD makes money by selling chips to device makers, server builders, and cloud providers — it does not manufacture chips itself, relying instead on partners like TSMC to produce them. The company operates globally, with significant revenue from the United States, Europe, and Asia, and generated over $25 billion in annual revenue in fiscal 2024. AMD's biggest growth opportunity is its MI-series AI accelerator chips, which compete against Nvidia's dominant data center GPUs — capturing meaningful market share there would significantly boost revenue, but Nvidia's entrenched software ecosystem remains a serious competitive barrier.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
