AMD stands out as a strong candidate for a collar strategy, offering solid fundamentals, technical momentum, and a compelling risk/reward setup in today's market. By using a collar (buying shares, selling a call, and buying a put), I can cap downside risk to about $6 per share while targeting $29 upside over 12 months. AMD's underperformance versus the Nasdaq and its attractive price trend make it a timely opportunity for risk-managed investors seeking exposure to quality tech.
AMD remains a buy as technicals show a bullish outlook, with strong support levels and an intact uptrend, despite some caution from Fibonacci Fan Lines. Q1 earnings were impressive, with 36% YoY revenue growth and 57% YoY growth in the Data Center segment, highlighting AI business strength. Q2 guidance projects continued above-average revenue growth, and gross margins would be strong if not for China's export controls.
AMD is continuing its acquisition spree.
Zacks.com users have recently been watching Advanced Micro (AMD) quite a bit. Thus, it is worth knowing the facts that could determine the stock's prospects.
I upgraded my rating to a strong buy. Call options are expensive (high IV), so I haven't opened a long position in this stock. Q1 results show a continuation in growth, driven by the data center and (finally) the client segments. The upcoming launch of the MI350 series is a nice catalyst ahead. The partnership with Oracle and Humain is a clear indication that AI infrastructure companies are betting on AMD's GPUs and (emphasis) CPUs.
