Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) beats Q2-2026 adjusted Non-GAAP EPS consensus of approx. USD 1.61 per share (results August 4, 2026, after market close)

AMD reports Q2 2026 after market close on August 4. Non-GAAP EPS consensus approx. $1.61, revenue consensus approx. $11.29B (+47% YoY) (TipRanks/Yahoo Finance). AMD's own Q2 revenue guidance of $11.2B already exceeded the analyst consensus of $10.5B — a strong beat signal. New GPU contracts with OpenAI and Meta for 6GW MI450 deployments (first shipments H2 2026) and strong EPYC Zen 6 CPU demand support the outlook. AMD's 'Advancing AI 2026' conference (July 22–23) likely reinforced positive demand signals. AMD has beaten consensus EPS in 7 of the last 8 quarters.

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) beats the Q2-2026 adjusted EPS consensus of $0.35 per share (~August 4, 2026)

Palantir beat the Q1 2026 adjusted EPS consensus by 17.8% ($0.33 vs. $0.28).

Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE: SPOT) reports more than 778 million Monthly Active Users (MAU) in its Q2 2026 results (August 4, 2026)

Spotify's own Q2 2026 MAU guidance (Q1 report April 2026): 778M (+17M vs. Q1). The company has beaten its own MAU guidance in 6 of the last 8 quarters. Q1 2026 again beat EPS consensus (Investing.com transcript). Growth drivers: expansion in Southeast Asia, MENA, Latin America. Revenue guidance Q2: approx. €4.8bn (+15% YoY). Since the company historically sets its own guidance as a lower bound, exceeding >778M MAU is more likely than missing.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) beats the adjusted Non-GAAP EPS consensus of approx. $1.34 per share in its Q2 2026 results (August 4, 2026)

AMD has consistently beaten EPS consensus in recent quarters. AI-GPU revenue from the MI300 series is estimated by analysts to have grown approximately 189% YoY (new forecast: $48.5B total AMD revenue for 2026); hyperscaler orders (Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Meta) are structurally robust. The July 17 price selloff (-7%) reflects market AI capex skepticism, not fundamental demand weakness. The $1.34 consensus is considered conservative; some analysts project up to $1.61. Revenue consensus for Q2 2026: $11.25B. No specific prediction market data available for AMD Q2.

Spotify reported approximately 678 million monthly active users for Q1 2026.
