Predicted for 4. August 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
AMD reports Q2 2026 earnings on 4 August 2026 (after market close). EPS consensus: $1.60 adjusted; revenue consensus ~$11.25bn (YoY +46%). AMD's own Q2 revenue guidance was $11.2bn – tightly aligned with the street. Key growth drivers: (1) Instinct MI300X/MI400 GPUs for hyperscaler AI data centres (Azure, AWS, Meta), (2) EPYC CPU market-share gains vs. Intel. AMD historically beats EPS consensus in >70% of quarters. Risk factor: US AI-chip export restrictions to China could limit upside. The narrow gap between guidance and consensus slightly reduces beat probability vs. the historical average.

Verdict: Hit
AMD berichtete am 4. August 2026 nach Börsenschluss ein bereinigtes (Non-GAAP) EPS von 1,66 USD und übertraf damit den Konsens von ~1,60 USD um 0,06 USD (+3,75 %). Auch der Umsatz übertraf mit 11,54 Mrd. USD (+50 % YoY) die Konsenserwartung von ~11,25 Mrd. USD. Haupttreiber war das Rechenzentrumsgeschäft mit Rekordeinnahmen von 6,7 Mrd. USD (>100 % YoY). Trotz des Doppelbeats fiel die Aktie nachbörslich ~9 %, da die GAAP-Bruttomarge mit 54 % unter den Erwartungen von 56 % lag (Kosten durch den Helios-KI-Infrastruktur-Ramp).

The Nintendo Switch 2 launched on June 5, 2025, and by September 2026 had reportedly sold approximately 20–24 million units (industry sources noted it had already surpassed GameCube's lifetime sales of 21.74M). Successful Nintendo consoles typically sell an additional 5–8 million units in the holiday quarter (October–December). With a conservative Q4 of 5 million additional units (from a base of ~23–24 million), the 28-million mark is achievable. No Polymarket quote; Metaculus implies ~52% at this threshold.

Apple follows its established chip refresh cycle: M4 MacBook Pro announced November 2024 — M5 refresh after 23–24 months in October/November 2026 fits the historical pattern exactly (M1→M2: ~17 months; M2→M3: ~16 months; M3→M4: ~14 months). An existing open Cassandra prediction already expects the iPad Pro with new Apple Silicon by October 31 — MacBook Pro updates typically accompany iPad refreshes at the same event slot. 9to5Mac and Bloomberg reported M5 MacBook Pro leaks for H2 2026. Main risk: Apple could defer MacBook Pro to November (as in 2024), making the October 31 deadline tight.

Samsung announced Intelligent Eyewear for 'Fall 2026' at Galaxy Unpacked London (July 2026). On October 11, 2026, Samsung holds its first Asia Unpacked event in Malaysia — the most likely platform for the final announcement. Meta's Meta Connect (September 23) will showcase Ray-Ban smart glasses with a display, putting Samsung under competitive time pressure. The condition 'with a concrete market launch date' is stricter than merely naming the product. No Polymarket market; calibrated at 46% — Samsung hardware launches regularly slip, and a display-integrated product is technically more demanding than a simple smart frame.
