Futures slip, bank earnings ahead, Powell to speak - what’s moving markets
Investing.com - Mizuho has raised its price target on AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) to $275.00 from $205.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating. The semiconductor giant, currently trading at $214.90 with a market capitalization of $348.75 billion, has demonstrated remarkable momentum with a 130% surge over the past six months. According to InvestingPro analysis, AMD maintains a "GREAT" financial health score, though it trades at a relatively high P/E ratio of 130.
The price target increase follows AMD’s recently announced deal with OpenAI, which Mizuho describes as a "6GW Deal" spanning six tranches of 1GW each from the fourth quarter of 2026 through 2030.
The agreement includes approximately 160 million warrant shares tied to gigawatt deployments and AMD’s share price, with the final tranche potentially reaching around $600 per share, according to Mizuho’s analysis.
Mizuho projects approximately $14 billion in incremental revenue for AMD in fiscal 2027, potentially growing to about $22 billion annually by fiscal 2030, though with possible gross margin dilution exceeding 300 basis points from the warrants.
The firm has raised its fiscal 2027 revenue forecast by 26% above consensus and expects earnings per share to double to approximately $11 by 2027-2028, while noting that OpenAI funding risks remain a concern.
