Why AMD shares could go up:

Currently and in view of the economic and sectoral situation of the AMD group, several elements lean in favour of a rise in the price of this stock in the more or less long-term, including

• A strong brand image: the AMD group benefits from a strong brand image and great popularity on the microprocessor and PC market. This allows it to attract more customers.
• Significant investment in innovation: The group also invests heavily in research and development and regularly develops innovative products in order to stand out from the competition.
• International presence: AMD has a strong international presence and markets its products around the world, which reduces the risk of localized economic downturns.
• High barriers to entry: in certain specific segments, AMD faces little competition. In the graphics processing unit segment, its only serious competitor is NVidia, and in the microprocessor market, its only opponent is Intel.
• A growing market: the semiconductor market is currently booming with strong demand from the automotive sector in particular, from which AMD could benefit in the long-term.
• Strong partnerships: Finally, the company regularly establishes strong and long-lasting partnerships with major companies, which allows it to generate long-term revenue.

Why AMD shares could go down:

Of course, some other elements are rather in favour of a decrease of the price of this value and we will retain in particular the following elements:

• Declining sales: for the past few years, the group's performance in the computer segment has been slightly down due to the rise of tablets and handheld computers.
• A weak presence in the mobile segment: unlike some of its direct competitors, AMD has only a weak presence in the mobile segment.
• Strong competition: In some markets, AMD faces particularly aggressive competition, making it more difficult to gain market share.
• Strong competition: AMD faces two major competitors in this sector, NVidia and Intel.
• Restrictive regulations: the group's activities are also hampered by increasingly strict environmental regulations that limit its growth.
• Lack of dividend: although AMD is profitable, it does not pay any dividend to its shareholders for the moment, which can make this stock less attractive for investors looking for yield.

AMD dividends and payment dates

In 2021, the AMD Group did not pay any dividend to its shareholders.

In fact, since its entry on the stock market, the company has never paid its shareholders.

This is due to the growth policy implemented by the group, which has chosen to reinvest a major part of its profits in investment in order to gain market share and increase its profitability.

Although AMD has not announced a dividend for 2022 or for the following years, it is possible that it will one day pay a dividend to its shareholders.

What is the dividend yield for AMD over the last 10 years?

A stock's yield provides key information about a company's dividend policy and its evolution over time and performance.
