Mr Guru ... What a "Maroon" ... Is Advanced Micro Devices Bankruptcy Imminent? " ... The Debt Situation AMD is struggling under a massive debt load. AMD's interest payments, now totaling approximately $180 million a year, are more difficult to manage during a three-year time period when revenues have declined, cash flow is negative and equity investors are bailing out in droves. AMD enacted a plan in 2014 in an attempt to manage the crushing level of debt. It issued new notes that allowed it to funnel approximately half a billion dollars toward debt repayment from 2017 to 2019. The 6.75% interest rate attached to these new notes was also more favorable, compared to the previous interest rate of 8.13% for previous notes. While this may have given AMD a little breathing space, it's doubtful whether this move will ultimately save the company. The only positive note for AMD is that it now has until 2019 before it must repay the most substantial part of its outstanding debt. In reality, AMD has literally only bought itself a few years to put its financial house back in order. However, the deterioration of AMD's business is not slowing; it may, in fact, be speeding up. Constant delays in product development, and a slashed R&D budget are plaguing the company with hurdles to making any significant progress. Currently, AMD has a cushion of cash remaining to prevent instant bankruptcy, but whether it can postpone financial collapse beyond 2019 is highly questionable. Its slim financial cushion is continually dwindling as AMD attempts to remain competitive in too many markets with not enough resources. If the company cannot develop a strategy to restart a climb to profitability very soon, the massive debt repayments due in 2019 will likely bankrupt the company, unless some other circumstance accomplishes that at an even earlier date." investopedia.com Mahmoud

Famous Last Quotes ... (BTW I'm holding my AMD), fpg 24/7 ... Nvidia Increases Desktop GPU Market Share Again During Q2, Despite Multiple AMD Radeon Releases "Despite the release of AMD’s undeniably attractive liquid-cooled Radeon Fury X graphics card, completely new GPU architecture, and form-factor-slimming High-Bandwidth Memory, Nvidia still managed to increase their dominance over AMD in the 2nd quarter of 2015. In fact, Nvidia increased their lead more substantially than they did between Q4 2014 and Q1 2015, with the company now sitting at 82% desktop GPU market share, up from 77% last quarter." forbes.com Mahmoud

BTW I'm holding my AMD (tm fpg 24/7) ... Advanced Micro Devices: The Stock Slides Further, Here’s Why "... Our recent technical analysis (see the chart) of the stock indicates that it has bottomed out, although the shares have continued their downward path, trailing the 200 DMA ($2.52). In our upside scenario, a recovery through $2.21 to $2.56 will suggest the presence of an immediate bottom that can support a potential rally towards $3.15 and $4.10. In contrast, a break below $1.60 would resume the downside momentum possibly towards $0.71. Valuation AMD shares currently trade at 152x next year’s earnings, a large premium over rivals, Intel (12.4x ) and Nvidia (16.4x). This makes the stock expensive in comparison. In FY15, AMD’s bottom line is expected to decline by 866%, while Intel is expected to face a drop of 7% for the same metric. With all this in mind, we recommend investors should remain on the sidelines and beware taking a long position as AMD stock looks set for another slide." bidnessetcnews.tumblr.com Mahmoud
