AMD是一家向个人和联网计算机和通信市场供应IC的全球供应商。1996年,在全世界半导体行业营收额下降 8.6％的大环境下,AMD经历了一个艰苦的年代。营收额从1995年的24.68亿美元下降到1996年的19.53亿美元,下降幅度高达57％。但是,从1996年第4季度开始,AMD已开始出现转机,扭亏为盈。在1997年3月3日结束的第一季度,营收额为5.5亿美元,净收入1295万元。这一消息传出后,AMD的股票在纽约证券交易所的价格上扬8.5％,达到每股 43美元。可以预见,1997年的其余3个季度内,AMD的营收额还将有大幅的增长,预计全年将达到28亿美元。
AMD is a global supplier of ICs to the personal and networked computer and communications markets. In 1996, AMD experienced an arduous era in a world where the semiconductor industry’s revenue declined by 8.6%. The revenue decreased from 2.468 billion U.S. dollars in 1995 to 1.953 billion U.S. dollars in 1996, a drop of 57%. However, starting from the fourth quarter of 1996, AMD has begun to turn a corner and turn a profit. In the first quarter ended on March 3, 1997, revenue was $550 million and net income was $12.95 million. After the news came out, AMD’s stock price rose 8.5% on the New York Stock Exchange to reach $43 per share. It can be predicted that in the remaining three quarters of 1997, AMD’s revenue will increase substantially, and it is expected to reach US$2.8 billion in the whole year.
