Investing.com - Citi has raised its price target on AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) to $165 from $145 while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. Currently trading at $160.41, AMD’s analyst targets range from $95 to $200, according to InvestingPro data.

The price target increase reflects "improving sentiment" around the semiconductor company, according to Citi’s research note published Friday.

Citi expects AMD stock to trade higher ahead of its earnings report, driven by "increasing AI expectations" among investors.

The firm expressed concern that "buyside expectations may be too high on AMD," though it noted this won’t become clear until August when the company reports its financial results.

In the same research note, Citi suggested Micron (NASDAQ:MU) stock could trade lower due to DRAM price flattening and fears of HBM (High Bandwidth (NASDAQ:BAND) Memory) oversupply.

In other recent news, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is set to resume shipments of its MI308 chips to China following approval from the U.S. government. This development comes after a policy change allowing AI accelerator providers to continue shipments, representing a significant opportunity for AMD as it re-enters a market estimated at $50 billion. AMD had previously anticipated an $800 million revenue loss due to export restrictions on these chips. Additionally, HSBC has upgraded AMD’s stock from Hold to Buy, setting a price target of $200, citing a potential upside in AI revenue. HSBC now forecasts AMD’s fiscal year 2026 AI revenue at $15.1 billion, significantly above the consensus estimate.

Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) has also raised its price target for AMD to $175 from $152, maintaining an Outperform rating, driven by the resumed AI GPU shipments to China. BofA Securities echoed this sentiment, increasing its price target to $175 from $130, highlighting stronger-than-expected data center GPU prospects. The firm projects that AMD could add approximately $1 billion to its 2025 data center GPU forecast. These recent developments reflect a positive outlook for AMD amid changing trade policies and market dynamics.
