AMD Stock Outlook: Wall Street Bullish Despite Mixed Q2 Results
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares have surged 39% year-to-date, fueled by Optimism around its positioning in the AI GPU market and sustained CPU segment performance. The chipmaker's Q2 revenue grew 32%, though earnings met expectations without surprises. Export restrictions to China temporarily dented AI-related sales during the transition to next-gen products.
Analysts acknowledge headwinds—U.S.-China trade tensions, rising costs, and valuation concerns—but emphasize AMD's growth trajectory. The company's ability to capitalize on AI demand and data center expansion outweighs near-term challenges. Semiconductor industry tailwinds continue to drive institutional confidence, with most maintaining buy ratings.
