Investing.com - Stifel has reiterated its Buy rating and $280.00 price target on AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) following the company’s 2025 Analyst Day event.

The chipmaker provided ambitious growth targets, including more than 60% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for its data center business, over 10% CAGR for its core business, and more than 35% aggregate CAGR over the next 3-5 years.

AMD also outlined financial targets including 55%-58% gross margin (versus current 51.46%), over 35% operating margin (compared to an estimated 22% for 2025), a free cash flow margin of approximately 25%, and a long-term earnings per share target exceeding $20, while Stifel’s analysis suggests medium-term EPS potential of $13-$15.InvestingPro data indicates AMD is currently trading above its Fair Value, with a P/E ratio of 127.75.
