Investing.com - Melius Research upgraded Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) from Hold to Buy on Monday, raising its price target to $211.00 from $135.00. The semiconductor giant, currently trading at $128.24 with a market capitalization of $208 billion, has shown strong momentum recently according to InvestingPro data.
The semiconductor company’s stock has demonstrated significant volatility, moving from $135 to $211 in 2024 before falling to as low as $78 in 2025, according to Melius Research’s analysis. With a beta of 1.99 and impressive revenue growth of 21.7% in the last twelve months, AMD continues to show both growth potential and market sensitivity.
The upgrade comes as Melius believes AMD is "only in the middle of a run" with substantial upside potential despite missing "the initial move off the bottom." The firm raised its estimates for AMD over the next three years.
Melius cited growing opportunities in graphics processing units (GPUs) for 2026-2028, pointing to "a sustainable surge in inferencing" where AMD’s platform appears increasingly attractive to hyperscalers and sovereign entities.
The research firm increased its target to $175 from $110 and projects that AMD’s earnings per share "can top $8 within 2 years," suggesting continued growth in the company’s artificial intelligence-related business segments.
