AMD Shares Surge on New Street Research Upgrade to Buy

AMD, a leading American semiconductor company, has been making waves in the stock market, particularly within the S&P 500 index this Wednesday. The surge in the stock’s value can be largely attributed to an upgrade in its stock recommendation by New Street Research, which now classifies AMD shares as a Buy.

Impressive Market Performance

Investors have shown their confidence in AMD, propelling its share price upward by a notable 5.7%. This boost is part of a broader upward trend that has seen the company's shares soar by over 19% since the start of the year. Moreover, looking at the past 12 months, AMD’s stock has impressively gained 135%.

Optimistic Projections Fuel Growth

Analyzing the dynamics behind this bullish sentiment, New Street Research highlights the substantial market opportunity lying ahead for semiconductor companies, particularly in the AI-powered data center chips domain. With an estimated $400 billion in total investments anticipated by the year 2027, the sector is poised for significant growth.

AMD not only stands out as an attractively valued entity in this optimistic forecast but is also recognized for its potential for growth and positive revisions in forecasts. With such substantial investment expected in the industry, even if only half—amounting to $200 billion—were to come to fruition, AMD's prospects look incredibly promising. Recognizing this potential, New Street Research has set a price target for AMD stock at $215.
