Advanced Micro DevicesAMDHOLDJun 16, 2025Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Aug 07, 2026. Market Open.
Last November, the CEO projected that her CPU market would grow 18%, but now it's really 35%. CPUs are their core business. Shares soared over 18% today and enjoyed upgrades. Also, their latest quarter blew away estimates. Shares are up 97% this year. The AI stocks are catching up to overwhelming demand from their customers.
Has become a show-me story. Issues with earnings and other ups and downs. Moving above 200-day MA, but NVDA is the better choice.
Be careful of hyperscalers that are spending $100s of billions in capex. Mag 7 has become more of a Lag 7. AI story is very much alive, but how do you play it? See his Top Picks.
Trying to become the credible #2 behind NVDA, and CEO says 2026 will be important in that push. New AI chips are ramping out. Competition will go beyond individual chips to the arena of data centres. Execution story. Fundamentals rank 8/10, analysts are between Buy and Hold. Upside of about 40%.
Challenge is that software ecosystem of NVDA is built around its tools. AMD still has meaningful upside if AI spending continues at the same pace.
She owns NVDA instead, which is the more dominant player. Also owns names like MSFT, AMZN, and GOOG, who are all spending $$ on those chips.
(Note the shortish timeframe.) We should have done the show yesterday ;) Chips are commodities now, and commodities are cyclical. If go-forward projections aren't as expected, then the stocks get hit. He probably wouldn't sell today, but has been piecing out his position over the last couple of months.
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.
