White Falcon Capital Management made the following comment about Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) in its second quarter 2023 investor letter:

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD): Under CEO Lisa Su, AMD has made one successful bet after another – both on technology and strategy. Chiplet architecture, advanced 3D packaging, modularity and adaptability in chip design, strong TSMC partnership for leading nodes all helped AMD differentiate itself in the marketplace. We also liked the fact that AMD was diversified in product lines as well as end markets. Further, it was free cash flow positive at the bottom of the cycle and had a net-cash balance sheet. AMD was a secularly growing company that was facing cyclical issues available at 18x earnings, and these earnings had been revised down several times. The risk was that further revision in earnings will be needed and we were happy to buy more if that was the case. Today, the stock is more than fully valued but Nvidia’s guide and AMD’s optionality in GPU’s give us second thoughts in trimming more.”
