Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Despite a 1Q after-hours stock slump, the beat-and-raise in data-center demand, Helios shipping this year, and a raised AI TAM outlook support a positive fundamental trajectory; historically, AMD has seen multiple expansions when data-center growth accelerates and guidance is raised, though near-term sentiment can be mixed if valuation or competition concerns dominate.
