🚨 AMD Just Crashed 17% – Biggest Single-Day Bloodbath Since 2018… But Is the Panic Over? πŸ“‰πŸ”₯

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Advanced Micro Devices delivered a rollercoaster this week that left traders reeling πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«. After smashing Q4 2025 expectations with record $10.3B revenue and $1.53 EPS, the stock still got obliterated β€” plunging 17% in one session as guidance spooked the market. Shares gapped down hard, wiped out weeks of gains, and triggered memories of the brutal 2018 crypto-mining hangover. But today, on February 6, the stock is fighting back with a solid rebound above $200 πŸš€. So… 2018 redux or classic overreaction?

Let’s break it down with fresh numbers and zero hype.

πŸ”₯ What Actually Happened in Q4 2025

The beat was undeniable βœ…. Data center (AI GPUs + EPYC CPUs) carried the show again, with cloud giants and enterprises loading up. Full-year revenue hit $34.6B β€” up 34% β€” proving AMD is still stealing share in high-margin segments.

But the guidance lit the fuse πŸŽ†:

  • Sequential drop from record Q4 (normal seasonality + no repeat China boost)

  • Investors wanted explosive AI inflection NOW

  • Geopolitical noise around China exports added fear

Result? Capitulation selling. Biggest one-day rout in over 7 years.

🩸 Flashback to 2018: Same Vibes? In 2018 AMD soared 200%+ on crypto GPU frenzy, then crashed >50% when mining demand evaporated overnight. Similarities today:

  • Hype-fueled run (AI this time πŸ€–)

  • Heavy reliance on one booming end-market

  • Sky-high expectations leaving zero margin for error

  • Crowded trade = violent unwinds

If AI capex slows or Nvidia keeps crushing, the bears might be right 😬.

πŸš€ The Bull Case: Why This Dip Screams Opportunity Plenty of heavyweights are calling the selloff overdone:

  • KeyBanc notes Turin CPUs basically sold out for all of 2026

  • Multiple analysts lifting targets to $300+ zone

  • 30 out of 45 covering analysts rate it Strong Buy

  • MI350 ramp starts H1 2026, MI450 in H2 β€” multi-year AI pipeline intact

  • Valuation now reasonable after the washout (forward P/E compressed hard)

Today’s rebound above $200 shows buyers stepping in fast. High-volume capitulation days like this have historically marked intermediate bottoms for AMD.

πŸ“Š Quick Price Action Snapshot (Last Few Weeks)

visualize the volatility yourself! Here’s simple chart to plot the ride:

Bottom line: AMD’s long-term AI story is still very much alive. The China noise and sequential guide created the perfect storm for a shakeout. History says these moments are where fortunes get made πŸ’°.

Semi Selloff! Can ALAB, ANET & ON Defy The AMD Trap?
Tech is reeling after AMD and Qualcomm's brutal earnings plunge. With AMD crushed by high expectations and Qualcomm hit by memory shortages, investors are fleeing to "hardcore infrastructure." Next week, Astera Labs (ALAB), Arista Networks (ANET), and onsemi (ON) will prove if the AI backbone is still solid. Can these connectivity and power leaders provide the safe haven the market desperately needs, or is the chip correction just beginning? Is AI infrastructure still the safest bet after the AMD meltdown? Which ticker are you buying for a rebound: ALAB, ANET, or ON?
