"Advanced Micro Devices (Nasdaq: AMD) posted Q1 2026 revenue of $10.25 billion, with data center sales rising 57% year-over-year. CEO Lisa Su framed the long-term opportunity plainly, projecting the CPU market could surpass $120 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate north of 35%."
"Overall, the Q1 earnings season is running hot. Deutsche Bank has framed this cycle as one of the strongest in roughly two decades, with S&P 500 profit growth tracking close to 25% and analysts moving estimates upward rather than shaving them."
"Broader market sentiment shifted to fear when McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) CEO revealed that consumers are starting to show signs of weakening in this uncertain economy as spending levels fall."
The Nasdaq Composite opened strong but surrendered some gains, remaining in positive territory supported by robust corporate profit growth and declining oil prices. Advanced Micro Devices reported strong Q1 results with data center sales rising 57% year-over-year, while oil prices fell below $100/barrel amid U.S.-Iran talks. However, market sentiment shifted when McDonald's CEO indicated weakening consumer spending in the uncertain economy. Overall, Q1 earnings season is performing exceptionally well, with Deutsche Bank characterizing it as one of the strongest in two decades, featuring S&P 500 profit growth near 25% and upward analyst estimate revisions. Major indices showed mixed performance with the Dow down 0.16%, Nasdaq up 0.46%, and S&P 500 up 0.07%.
