What I love most about investing (besides making money, of course) is its dynamic nature. The market is ever-changing, and investors always have something to debate. Just a few months ago, the talk was all about a possible recession (and there is still a chance we will see one).
While demand for GPUs aimed at training artificial-intelligence (AI) models is soaring, a very different story is playing out in the gaming GPU market. A tough economic environment is impacting consumers, and the pandemic-era boom in PC sales has given way to a bust.

Advanced Micro Devices (
NASDAQ:AMD
) stock is a beneficiary of the jump in demand for chips that drive
AI (Artificial Intelligence) applications. Thanks to the growing enterprise applications of generative AI and investors’ positive outlook, AMD stock has risen nearly 74% year-to-date. While the stock has appreciated quite a lot, the consensus price target from analysts suggests that AMD stock could extend gains in the coming days.
AI Opportunity Could Push AMD Stock Higher
Nvidia (
NASDAQ:NVDA
), with its flagship Hopper and Ampere architecture GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), continues to dominate the AI space. However, AMD, with its innovative products, including the recently announced MI300X GPU for AI, could meet the growing demand for AI applications.
On June 16,
Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore raised AMD’s price target to $138 from $97 and reiterated the Buy recommendation on the stock. While Moore places Nvidia as the “Top Pick” in the
semiconductor sector, the analyst sees significant AI-led growth opportunities for AMD in 2024.
Speaking about AMD’s new dedicated generative AI product,
Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari said that he is waiting for “tangible evidence of customer design wins with MI300A and/or MI300X.” The analyst added that “AMD’s efforts in providing a GPU-only solution that is comparable to that of Nvidia provides a minimum, some optionality for customers.”
In a note dated June 14, Hari maintained his Buy recommendation on AMD stock and increased the price target to $137 from $97.
What is AMD's Price Target?
AMD is expected to benefit from meaningful AI revenue starting in the fourth quarter of this year. Also, it is likely to benefit from its Zen 4 EPYC CPU portfolio. However, near-term macro uncertainty keeps analysts cautiously optimistic about its prospects.
AMD stock has received 21 Buy and eight Hold recommendations for a Moderate Buy consensus rating. These analysts’ average price target of $134.31 implies 20.74% upside potential from current levels.
Investors should note that
