Advanced Micro Devices (AMD/NYSE) $92.75 FY Revenues (mil) EPS* Dan Scovel (212) 705-0322 ........... * AMD reported untaxed 2Q earnings of $1.51 per share, well in excess of our $1.20 estimate and the consensus estimate of $1.14. The upside was primarily due to better than expected gross margin. * The company announced a 2:1 stock split effective August 21. * Athlon microprocessor unit growth and ASP enhancements are tracking to expectations. * A 20% tax rate is expected for 2000, up from zero, due to expected exhaustion of tax loss carry forwards this year. The expected tax rate for 2001 remains 31%. * We estimate the loss of communications products will adversely impact expected revenues by $100 million this year and $300 million next year. * We are raising our earnings estimate for 2000, on a normalized tax basis of 31%, to $4.28 per share from $3.96 and maintaining our 2001 estimate of $5.79. * We reiterate our Buy recommendation and reaffirm our $115 target price. ........................
