> Alert feeds tell you a 10-Q landed. They do not tell you what it did to the thesis you actually hold. Thesis Monitor scores written criteria against each new filing — demonstrated on AMD's August 10-Q and NVIDIA's May 10-Q. Not a price call.

*Figures below trace to AMD's Form 10-Q for the period ended June 27,
2026, filed August 5, 2026 (accession `0000002488-26-000123`), and
NVIDIA's Form 10-Q for the period ended April 26, 2026, filed May 20,
2026 (accession `0001045810-26-000052`). No later NVIDIA 10-Q is in
Aether — filings through 20 May 2026. Research, not investment advice.*

Alert feeds tell you a 10-Q landed. They do not tell you what it did to
the thesis you actually hold.

If you follow [AMD](https://evidinvest.com/valuation/AMD) (**[$AMD](https://evidinvest.com/valuation/AMD)**) or
[NVIDIA](https://evidinvest.com/valuation/NVDA) (**[$NVDA](https://evidinvest.com/valuation/NVDA)**), you already
know the pattern. The filing hits the wire. The headline is Data Center
up. Your phone lights up. And the thing you wrote down last quarter —
mix versus Gaming, whether a warrant tranche vested, whether three
customers still dominate, whether China Hopper shipped a dollar — is
still buried in Item 2 and Item 1A. Mix can diverge inside one print.
Warrants can sit unvested while the 6 GW language keeps getting quoted.
Concentration and export can break a risk line in the same 10-Q that
supports the growth line.

This is not a price call, and it is not another AMD earnings recap. If
you want a target, this is the wrong page. What follows is a thesis you
can keep watching as 10-Qs and 8-Ks land — shown on two names whose
latest filings already pull in two directions at once.

## Your thesis, checked against every new filing

[Thesis Monitor](https://evidinvest.com/thesis-monitor) is built for
that gap. The product line is the problem statement: *Alert feeds tell
you a 10-Q landed. We tell you what it does to your thesis.*

You write the criteria. Every new 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K is judged against
them: **supported**, **at risk**, or **contradicted**. Each verdict
cites the exact filed passage. Email and push fire only when a criterion
moves to at-risk or contradicted. Silence means the thesis held.

Unlocked by any AI credit pack — also included with EvidInvest's paid
plans. Checks draw on AI credits: a $10 pack covers roughly a hundred
filing checks. Built on Aether.

A public AMD example sits on the [live monitor](https://evidinvest.com/monitor).
The criteria below are worked examples scored against the 10-Qs — not
that card, and not anyone's private book.

## AMD: one filing, two economies

AMD's current print is the 10-Q filed August 5, 2026 (accession
`0000002488-26-000123`, period ended June 27, 2026). Item 2: "Data
Center net revenue of $6.7 billion for the three months ended June 27,
2026 increased by 107%, compared to net revenue of $3.2 billion for the
prior year period."

Same table: Data Center **$6,718 million** versus **$3,240 million**;
Client **$3,062 million** versus **$2,499 million**; Gaming **$779
million** versus **$1,122 million**; Embedded implied **$977 million**;
total net revenue **$11,536 million** versus **$7,685 million**. Data
Center is **58.2%** of the quarter (derived: 6,718 / 11,536). Six-month
Data Center **$12,493 million** versus **$6,914 million** (+81%). Data
Center operating income **$2,103 million** versus a prior-year operating
loss of **$155 million**. Gross margin **54%** versus **40%** (Item 2,
same 10-Q).

Gaming, same document: "Gaming net revenue of $779 million for the
three months ended June 27, 2026 decreased by 31% compared to net
revenue of $1.1 billion for the prior year period, primarily due to
lower semi-custom revenue."

A criterion that Data Center dollars and mix keep rising versus Client
and Gaming is **supported**. A criterion that Gaming holds up is
**contradicted** by the same pages. One filing, two economies: the alert
says AMD reported; the thesis needs to know which line moved.

**Warrants.** Item 2: in October 2025 and February 2026 AMD entered into
multi-year agreements with OpenAI OpCo, LLC (OpenAI) and Meta Platforms,
Inc. (Meta), respectively, under which each customer intends to deploy
up to 6 gigawatts of AMD data center GPUs, with the first gigawatt of
each deployment powered by AMD Instinct MI450 series products. AMD
issued each customer a warrant to purchase up to 160 million shares at
$0.01 per share, vesting in tranches tied to Instinct GPU purchase
milestones and specified AMD stock-price and/or performance conditions.
"As of June 27, 2026, no warrant tranches had vested or become
exercisable." Item 1: OpenAI warrant exercisable through October 5,
2030; Meta warrant through February 23, 2031; none vested as of June 27,
2026. (Meta warrant 8-K filed February 24, 2026, accession
`0000002488-26-000045`. The latest 10-Q is both counterparties.) A
criterion that either 160-million-share tranche has vested is **not
supported**. A later 10-Q or 8-K that reports a vested tranche would
flip "warrants remain unvested" to **contradicted**, or "deployments
convert" to **supported**.

**Instinct / MI450.** The 10-Q's language is still agreement language:
each customer *intends* to deploy, first gigawatt powered by MI450.
Helios is described as a rack-scale platform of CPUs, GPUs and
Networking. The 10-Q does not name Helios customers; OpenAI and Meta are
6 GW GPU-deployment counterparties with warrants, not labeled Helios
customers.

**Export.** Item 2: "In April 2025, the U.S. government implemented a
new license requirement for the export of certain semiconductor products
to China … This restriction impacts our AMD Instinct™ MI308 products.
… As a result of the restriction, we incurred approximately $440 million
of net inventory and related charges in 2025." New charges in the next
10-Q would put an "export drag is behind AMD" criterion **at risk** or
**contradicted**.

## NVIDIA: the growth thesis can still be true while a risk criterion breaks

NVIDIA's latest 10-Q in Aether was filed May 20, 2026 for the period
ended April 26, 2026 (accession `0001045810-26-000052`). No later NVIDIA
10-Q — filings through 20 May 2026.

Item 2: "Data Center revenue was $75.2 billion, up 92% from a year ago
and up 21% sequentially, driven by the ramp of our Blackwell 300
products and demand for our InfiniBand, Spectrum-X Ethernet, and NVLink
solutions. Hyperscaler revenue increased sequentially and remained at
approximately 50% of Data Center revenue, while the remaining 50% came
from a continued diversification of customers, including AI Clouds,
industrial, enterprise, and sovereign customers. No shipments of Data
Center Hopper products to China occurred during the quarter, compared
with $4.6 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026."

The table: Data Center **$75,246 million** versus **$62,314 million**
versus **$39,112 million**; Hyperscale **$37,869 million**; ACIE
**$37,377 million**; total revenue **$81,615 million**. Data Center is
**92.2%** of total (derived: 75,246 / 81,615). Compute & Networking
**$74,550 million** (+88% year over year); Graphics **$7,065 million**
(+58%); C&N operating income **$53,335 million**. "Blackwell continued
to account for the majority of our system shipments."

Same 10-Q: "For the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, three direct
customers represented 21%, 17%, and 16% of total revenue, all of which
was primarily attributable to the Compute & Networking segment."

Data Center dollars plus Hyperscale/ACIE near 50/50: **supported**. C&N
versus Graphics: **supported**. Blackwell as the majority of system
shipments: **supported**. China Hopper shipments continue:
**contradicted** — zero versus $4.6 billion the prior quarter. No
direct customer above 20% of total revenue: **contradicted** by the 21%
name. The growth thesis can still be true while a risk criterion breaks.

Item 1A: "The availability of data centers, energy, and capital to
support the buildout of NVIDIA AI infrastructure by our customers and
partners is crucial, and any shortage of these or other necessary
resources could impact our future revenue and financial performance."

## What the monitor rescans next

On AMD, the next 10-Q or 8-K is judged against: Data Center dollars and
mix versus Client and Gaming; whether either 160-million-share warrant
tranche vests; Instinct / MI450 shipment language; MI308 China licenses
and any new export charges.

On NVIDIA, the next 10-Q — whenever it lands; it is not in Aether yet —
is judged against: Data Center dollars plus Hyperscale versus ACIE near
50/50; C&N versus Graphics; the top-three direct-customer percentages;
Blackwell versus China Hopper dollars; and the energy, capital and

You hear about it only if a line moves to at-risk or contradicted. You
stop treating "a filing exists" as the event. The event is what the
filing did to the thesis.
