AMD shares dive as AI chip revenue disappoints investors
AMD, one of the biggest providers of chips for personal computer and servers, reported quarterly results and revenue outlook above analyst estimates, but that was overshadowed by its miss in AI chip-related revenue as investors scrutinized its results against Nvidia, which controls nearly 80% share of the market. The Santa Clara, California-based company reported fourth-quarter data center revenue - a proxy for its AI revenue - of $3.9 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $4.15 billion.

"January data highlighted a challenging business environment for UK service providers as stagflation conditions appeared to take a firmer hold at the start of the year," Tim Moore, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said. "Businesses widely noted sharply rising salary payments and many also felt the impact of suppliers passing on forthcoming increases in employers' national insurance contributions," he said, referring to a key part of finance minister Rachel Reeves' first budget statement announced in October.
