Analyst Upgrades AMD Stock, Citing AI Momentum and 35% Upside Potential
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is gaining ground in the AI semiconductor race, prompting Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes to upgrade the stock to Buy and raise the price target to $175 from $110. The new target implies a 35% upside from current levels, reflecting improved positioning in AI since early 2024.
Demand for AMD's MI300 and MI350 AI chips is accelerating, with cloud providers and government-backed firms driving adoption. The upcoming MI400 series is already generating interest, suggesting the AI inferencing market remains undervalued in AMD's stock price. Shares have oscillated between $211 and $80 since 2023, but recent progress justifies higher valuations.
