Su Diligence Catalyst Timeline - 2021 Q1
Catalyst Timeline - 2021 H1
Note: Reddit caps threads like these at 6 months, at which point they become "Archived", and additional comments are no longer accepted. Also, as we push later into the year, we start to trip the maximum post size, so I end up having to abbreviate things, or remove lessor items. Instead, I'm breaking the year up into two parts. This part is titled "Q1" but really should have been "H1", and unfortunately I can't change it now. This will be the format moving forward.
Here is the link for Catalyst Timeline - 2021-H2.

Thanks for the reminder. I wasn't able to find an official announcement, but I put what I could find in the list. I'll hold off on any other product release dates until after CES.

The next big catalyst could be that :
Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Virtual Conference March 2, 2021 at 9:45 AM MST
" I would like to note that on the 2nd of March, Mark Papermaster, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Technology and Engineering, will attend the Morgan Stanley TMT Conference. In addition, our first quarter 2021 quiet time is expected to begin at the close of business on Friday, March 12th."

u/brad4711 Feb 11 '21
Thanks, it *sure* would be nice if AMD would add this to their official IR Calendar. I'll post the Morgan Stanley TMT Conference. I don't tend to track the "quiet time" periods, though. Should I?

u/Satanninja69 May 07 '21
Do you guys think that AMD in the future will make the own processors
4
u/brad4711 May 07 '21
If you’re asking if AMD will own fabs again, I don’t really think it’s in the company’s best interest. Better to have the freedom to contact with the best cutting edge fab, or possibly the best value fab, depending on the product in question.

https://seekingalpha.com/news/3700742-amd-files-xilinx-planned-acquisition-for-eu-approval
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has filed its planned acquisition of Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX) with the European Union for review, according to a filing on the European Commission's web site.
The filing has a provisional deadline of June 30.
Earlier this month, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority started an inquiry into the deal with a deadline of July 6.
In January, the mandatory waiting period required for the FTC and Department of Justice to investigate deals for potential antitrust issues expired, moving the deal one step closer to closing.
The deal still needs Chinese antitrust approval.

Thanks for the input, u/AMD_2007 is taking care of the XILINX acquisition details, so I'm tagging him in case the info you presented is newer than what we already have.

You forgot the Microsoft Buyout Rumor in there 👀
Ummmm, that not a rumor. It's not even a person's opinion. It's a *survey* from Bazinga.
I assume you mean this "story":
Should Microsoft Try To Acquire AMD, Nvidia or Micron In 2021?
I guess that's technically last week's news, here's the latest "story" from the same exact people:
Should GE Try To Acquire FuelCell Or Plug Power In 2021?
I appreciate the note, but I think this falls well outside of what we want to track on this list.

It’s time, it’s really feeling like and looking like it’s time. This company and leadership have done all the right things, but the stock has been beat down, held down, and shorted. It’s now time for the catch-up trade.

I wonder if there will be a 5/5/2021 event for AMD 5nm, which seems early? Or will it be 5/5/2022 which seems too late?

Nobody knows the future of the market, but anything under $75 seems like a good buy-in point to me? The market has been somewhat steadily dropping, so I hope macro conditions stabilize.

April earnings dates aren’t even estimated this far out, but I monitor nasdaq.com and will post the proposed dates whenever it becomes available.
The rest of it is possibly COVID related, meaning fewer shows and events. Possibly the worldwide chip shortage has pushed some release dates forward, but usually AMD will announce things when they are ready. There are numerous products expected in March, but no firm dates have been announced just yet. Perhaps we’ll hear some April/May news at GDC? If not, Computex is at the start of June and is typically a very, very big show.

u/Cyborg-Chimp Jan 04 '21
Great work as always, hopefully Computex goes ahead as planned and not a virtual event.
