A Quarter of the Receivables, in One NameNarrow moat

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) — moat facet

Revenue concentration measures a year; receivable concentration measures a day — and a quarter of what AMD was owed sat with one name.

AMD discloses that one customer accounted for approximately 11% of consolidated accounts receivable at the end of fiscal 2025, and that another represented 24% at the end of fiscal 20241. Both figures sit well above the revenue concentration, which was below 10% in each of those years.

Largest customer, share of accounts receivable (%)24%FY2024~11%FY2025Both well above revenue concentration — receivables measure a day, not a year.
Revenue concentration measures a year; receivable concentration measures a single date.

The gap is normal and instructive. Revenue concentration measures a year; receivable concentration measures a single day. A large shipment near a period close, particularly of high-value data-centre product on standard terms, can put a quarter of what AMD is owed with one counterparty without that counterparty being anywhere near a quarter of the year's sales.

AMD's own framing is that credit risk is limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up its base. That is a fair description of the business and an incomplete description of the balance sheet. It also tells you something about the shape of demand: lumpy, large, and increasingly concentrated in a handful of buyers placing very big orders.

Watch days sales outstanding alongside these percentages. Receivables concentrating with the same names quarter after quarter would mean the revenue concentration is coming back through a side door — and would arrive in the disclosure a year later.

Moat trajectory: Holding steady

Receivable concentration sits well above revenue concentration and moves with the timing of large data-centre shipments rather than with the shape of the business. AMD's framing that a geographically diverse base dilutes credit risk is fair. Worth re-reading each year for the pattern rather than the level.

The number that tests this moat
Reported
Largest customer share of accounts receivable
~11% at FY2025, after 24% a year earlier

Both well above revenue concentration, because receivables measure a single day and large data-centre shipments near a period close distort them. AMD notes a geographically diverse base dilutes credit risk. Watch days sales outstanding alongside the percentages.
