Nvidia Corporation remains a Strong Buy as surging data center GPU demand and AI ecosystem growth drive robust profit potential and new highs in 2025. The OpenAI-AMD partnership intensifies GPU competition, but the market's rapid expansion ensures both Nvidia and AMD are major beneficiaries. Nvidia's dominant 92% GPU market share, superior profits, and upcoming Blackwell GPUs position it to capitalize on pent-up, high-inference chip demand.
OpenAI's partnership with Advanced Micro Devices to co-develop LLM-optimized chips is a game changer, accelerating AMD's growth and challenging Nvidia's dominance. The Company's data center sales are surging, with new MI400/MI450 GPUs and Helios rack-scale solutions poised to drive further sales and margin expansion. Despite rapid growth and strategic partnerships, Advanced Micro Devices trades at a low 24.9x 2026e profit multiple, making it an undervalued AI play vs. peers.
Nvidia has won the generative AI market, but there's more than enough room for AMD as well. Management expects new GPU products to drive data center growth in the second half, providing a near-term catalyst for the stock. AMD trades at a conservative valuation, offering attractive risk-reward even without multiple expansion.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) closed at $141.9 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.33% move from the prior day.
Advanced Micro Devices margin gains continue as high-end Ryzen and data center demand drive strong pricing and favorable mix.
With June drawing to a close, it's time to look at the hot buys for July. The hot buys for July have numerous factors in common, including momentum-driven stock price movements and an outlook for substantial upside.
There's always going to be a better-performing stock out there. No one can hit only home runs.
AMD's Data Center revenues jump 57% as Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs power AI-driven demand and expand its market footprint.
AMD has surged over 40% since my prior coverage, with analysts now raising targets to $165 and $175. Micron's Q3 results confirmed AI memory demand, with HBM revenue up 50% sequentially, directly benefiting AMD's Instinct GPUs. AMD projects 60%+ annual AI revenue growth, driven by MI300 adoption and expanding cloud deployments of EPYC Turin processors.
Tech sector remains resilient despite geopolitical tensions; AI momentum and cyclical recovery in analog semis are key drivers. Sara Awad, who runs Tech Stock Pros and Investing Group Tech Contrarians, on Tesla's robotaxi launch.
It is widely accepted that AMD GPU technology offers several advantages over NVIDIA's NASDAQ: NVDA, including a better cost-to-performance ratio and superior memory capacity, which are well-suited for larger and more complex AI workloads.
Advanced Micro Devices made a solid generational leapfrog with its latest CDNA architecture, taking an early lead over Nvidia in some directions. The year 2026 is shaping up to determine future market leadership with the upcoming new generation of full-stack AI rack-scale architectures. I believe that AMD stock has up to 50% upside potential for a few reasons, discussed below in the article.
