Truist Upgrades AMD Stock Rating to Buy Amid Rising AI Demand
Truist Securities analyst William Stein upgraded Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to Buy from Hold, citing growing data center demand and AI sector traction. The new $213 price target implies 28.1% upside potential.
Hyperscale customers now engage AMD as a primary partner, a significant shift from its previous role as a pricing benchmark against Nvidia. AMD's server CPU market share grew from under 1% to over 20% following its Rome product launch.
Stein projects AMD could capture nearly 10% of the GPU market, drawing parallels to its successful server chip strategy. The stock ROSE 2% following the upgrade.
