Investing.com - Bernstein SocGen Group has reiterated its Market Perform rating and $200 price target on Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock, which currently trades near its 52-week high of $241.20 with a market capitalization of $378 billion. According to InvestingPro analysis, AMD is currently trading above its Fair Value.

The firm acknowledged investor enthusiasm following AMD’s strategic move with OpenAI, noting that while it was unexpected to see AMD give up 10% equity "for the privilege of selling to Sam Altman," the decision was understandable as AMD needed to secure its position in the AI market. The company’s strong financial health, rated as GREAT by InvestingPro, supports this strategic initiative.

Bernstein expressed some caution about the smoothness of AMD’s ramp-up and whether the market might be "overly-optimistic" about the pace into 2027, but conceded that the near-term outlook appears solid.

The firm highlighted improving conditions in AMD’s core PC and server markets, ongoing market share gains, and reduced pressure on near-term AI expectations since the OpenAI partnership won’t begin for another year.

Despite maintaining a neutral stance with the Market Perform rating, Bernstein suggested AMD stock "could work for now" and pointed to the upcoming analyst day as another potential catalyst for positive sentiment. With impressive revenue growth of 27% and the next earnings report due on November 4, investors seeking deeper insights can access comprehensive analysis and 21 additional ProTips through InvestingPro’s detailed research reports.

In other recent news, AMD has been the focus of several key developments. BofA Securities has increased its price target for AMD to $300 from $250, maintaining a Buy rating. This adjustment comes after AMD’s announcements at the 2025 OCP Conference, where the company revealed its MI450 Series "Helios" racks set to launch in the latter half of 2026. Similarly, Wedbush has raised its price target for AMD to $270 from $190, continuing with an Outperform rating. Wedbush attributes this change to significant AI partnerships, including a major agreement with Oracle. Oracle plans to deploy 50,000 AMD MI450 GPUs for its AI supercluster starting in the third quarter of 2026, further expanding their collaboration. Additionally, AMD introduced its Helios open rack-scale AI platform at the OCP Global Summit, designed to support next-generation AI workloads. Meanwhile, Wolfe Research has upgraded Monolithic Power Systems to an Outperform rating, citing a conservative path to 2027 earnings per share of $24 or higher.
