The AMD share price is in the news because of events at its rival Nvidia, not because of an AMD announcement. According to a Reuters report republished on Investing.com, shares of AMD and Broadcom rose on 12 November 2026 after a reported leadership change at Nvidia. Reuters reported that Nvidia’s chief financial officer, Colette Kress, is interim CEO. Yahoo Finance reported that investors saw AMD and Broadcom as rivals that could benefit, and that the gains extended a rise from 11 November. This post explains the news and how to read it. It gives no price, target or view on buying or selling.

What happened to the AMD share price this week?

The timeline, with official and reported facts kept apart:

  • 3 November (official): AMD reported its Q3 2026 results on its investor relations site.
  • 10 November (official): AMD announced that 6th Gen AMD EPYC server processors are generally available.
  • 11 November (reported): there were reports that Nvidia’s board was weighing a leadership change.
  • 12 November (reported): Reuters reported the leadership change at Nvidia and that shares of AMD and Broadcom rose after it was announced.

Outlets differ on timing. Some reports are dated 11 November, others 12 November. AMD’s own press release list shows no AMD announcement dated 11 or 12 November 2026. So the move was linked in reports to news about a competitor, not to anything AMD said.

According to Investing.com, investors were betting that turmoil at Nvidia could help its competitors. It noted that AMD’s data centre GPU roadmap competes directly with Nvidia. None of this is confirmed by AMD. Personal matters are not covered in this post. We look only at business facts.

What did AMD report in its latest results?

These figures come from the AMD Q3 2026 results release for the quarter ended 26 September 2026.

ItemWhat AMD reported
RevenueAbout US$13.4 billion, up 45% year on year and up 16% from the previous quarter
Data Center segment revenueA record, about US$8.5 billion, up 97% year on year
Q4 2026 revenue guidanceAbout US$17 billion, plus or minus 3%

Guidance is the company’s own forecast, not a promise.

How should you read company news like this?

  • Year on year compares with the same quarter last year. Quarter on quarter compares with the previous quarter.
  • Segment revenue shows which part of the business is growing.
  • Margins show how much of each rupee or dollar of revenue is left as profit.
  • Competitor news can move a share even when the company says nothing, and such moves can reverse.
  • Primary sources come first: the company release and filings.

Can Indians invest in AMD shares from India?

AMD is listed in the US, not on NSE or BSE. Resident Indians who buy foreign shares directly do so under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme. The RBI FAQ on the Liberalised Remittance Scheme says residents can remit up to USD 2,50,000 per financial year for permitted transactions, and that overseas investments must follow the Overseas Investment Rules and Regulations, 2022.

Foreign shares add currency risk, since the rupee value moves with the dollar rate. Tax rules differ, so speak to a qualified adviser.

Should you borrow to buy shares after news like this?

No. Do not use a credit card or a personal loan to buy shares. Card dues not paid in full attract interest, as the RBI master direction on credit cards sets out in its rules on charges. See how credit card interest builds up.

  • Margin and loans against shares: if the share falls, the lender can ask for more margin or sell your pledged shares. Losses can exceed your plan.
  • Illustrative example: say you put Rs 50,000 from a personal loan into shares and the shares fall in value. You still owe the full Rs 50,000 plus interest, and the EMI does not change.
  • Order of priority: EMIs and card dues first, then an emergency fund, then investing spare money.

If EMIs and card bills already take a large share of your income, deal with that first. One structured EMI can make your month easier to plan. Check your options with BillCut to see what may fit.
