Is this U.S.-China selloff a buy? A top Wall Street voice weighs in
Investing.com - Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $140.00 on Thursday. According to InvestingPro data, AMD’s current valuation appears fair, with the stock trading at a P/E ratio of 101.36 and showing strong momentum with a 19.28% return over the past six months.
The investment bank views AMD as a fabless provider of X86-based Server and PC CPUs, custom SoCs, and merchant GPUs, noting the company has executed well and gained significant market share in the X86 Server CPU and PC CPU markets. The company’s execution is reflected in its impressive 21.71% revenue growth over the last twelve months, with total revenue reaching $27.75 billion.
Goldman Sachs expects AMD’s share gains in the Server CPU market to slow due to increasing penetration by ARM-based solutions, despite the overall positive trend continuing.
The firm believes AMD’s merchant GPU solutions will likely gain limited market share against Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s established position, which is strengthened by software advantages, and against ASICs that continue to capture more wallet share.
Goldman Sachs also notes that AMD is expected to remain in investment mode as it pursues opportunities in AI accelerators, which may result in earnings growth that falls short of investor expectations.
