Though decent value, it can fall further. It's second place in a very competitive business. NVDA has been sucking all the air out of the room. He won't touch semis unless the sector is really beaten up and broken. That said, the CEO is very smart and they have some good products. Problem is, there's so much passive money in the market, especially chips, and that excess needs to be burned off.
Makes great chips. It's software, not hardware. Hasn't been able to deliver the ecosystem to handle AI workloads effectively or reliably. He'd be much more bullish if it could get its act together on this.
Not gained market share. Not even close to NVDA. Success with hyperscalers, but not with the average customer. Has taken data centre market share.
Although she doesn't own it she has traded it. She is cautious on the run-up and AI sector but it could show good growth and there is still room to run in the sector. It scores 8 out of 10 fundamentally. There is a mix of buy and hold on the street and analysts see an upside of 12 to 13% in valuation. You could keep holding it but also do some trimming.
He bought this during the July sell-off, down 40% from its highs currently and is the third-worst-performing chipmaker in the S&P. Their fundamentals haven't changed. AMD is a close second to Nvidia. Demand for their AI chips is strong. They raise predictions for demand for these chips from $2 billion for 2024 to $3.5 billion and in late July to $4.5 billion. Their last quarter boasted a modest top and bottom line beat with better than expected guidance. The street doesn't give them credit for 2 deals last summer for ZT Systems and an AI company which will help AMD close the gap with Nvidia. He firmly believes in the CEO and says this is a strong buy the dip.
