Nvidia (NVDA 1.92%) has been one of the best long-term investments of all time. Since 1999, shares have increased in value by more than 285,000%, pushing the company's market capitalization into the trillions of dollars.
AMD (AMD 1.48%) stock is falling considerably as it fails to gain substantial traction in the artificial intelligence market.
In January, China's DeepSeek AI sparked a sell-off in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks after sharing breakthroughs in developing highly efficient training and inference algorithms for large language models. In other words, DeepSeek's AI models showed maybe big tech companies don't have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on the most advanced GPUs available for their data centers.
Chipsets known as graphics processing units (GPUs) are perhaps the most important hardware in generative AI development right now. For the last couple of years, investing in semiconductor stocks has generally been a great idea -- as you're nearly guaranteed some form of exposure to GPUs or data centers.
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) has had a challenging start to 2024, sliding over 18% since the beginning of the year.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -2.77%) has been one of the worst stocks to own over the past year. While investors were excited about AMD potentially taking market share from rival Nvidia in the all-important data center market, that hasn't manifested.
AMD's stock decline to $99 from $211 seems excessive; Wall Street analysts remain bullish, while Seeking Alpha analysts offer more moderate optimism. AMD's diversified business includes Data Center, Client, Gaming, and Embedded segments, with Data Center showing the most promise despite lagging behind Nvidia. Financially strong, AMD expects high double-digit growth in revenue and EPS, driven by their new MI350X architecture.
In the closing of the recent trading day, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stood at $101.67, denoting a +0.91% change from the preceding trading day.

Advanced Micro Devices NASDAQ: AMD stock slide may not be over, but it is nearing its end and setting up the market for a solid rebound that could quickly add 30% to the stock price. Technically speaking, AMD's market is profoundly oversold and overextended, with stochastic oscillators in the low-end range on the daily, weekly, and monthly charts.
For the most part, chip stocks have fared well over the last couple of years. The main tailwind fueling semiconductor stocks to new highs is, of course, rising interest in artificial intelligence (AI).
The graphics card market is dominated by Nvidia (NVDA -2.64%). The gaming and AI powerhouse has a 90% unit market share, according to Jon Peddie Research, with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -2.17%) in a distant second place.
