AMD Surges 170% This Year: Is It Still a Buy?
Yahoo Finance ·
Advanced Micro Devices shares have skyrocketed 170% in 2026, driven by stellar data center quarters and a major agreement with Meta Platforms for Instinct GPUs. While Intel has climbed 159% on server chip demand, Nvidia lags with a modest 15% gain and trades below half AMD's forward multiple. Despite an AI-financing scare in October cooling valuations, Wall Street analysts project normalized EPS to more than double from $7.61 this year to $15.85 in 2027. The upcoming third-quarter earnings report on November 3 will serve as a crucial test for this growth trajectory. If the results validate these aggressive forecasts and the 2027 outlook, market experts suggest that purchasing AMD stock remains a compelling opportunity rather than a late move.
AI 시장 분석
AMD shares surged 170%, driven by strong 2026 data center performance and a massive AI chip supply deal with Meta. Analysts forecast normalized EPS for 2027 to more than double from $7.61 to $15.85. Investors should closely monitor the upcoming Q3 earnings and Q4 guidance to confirm the continuation of this growth momentum.
상승 영향
- AI — AMD secured a massive deal with Meta and recorded over 57% surge in data center revenue, driving earnings growth from expanding AI chip demand.
- Semiconductors — Demand for server CPUs and AI accelerators remains robust, with both Intel and AMD benefiting from server chip supply shortages and increasing demand.
하락 영향
- AI — A structural risk exists as semiconductor companies partially finance AI data center construction costs through internal funds such as lease guarantees and equity investments.
DYAX 전담 분석
AMD experienced a steep stock price increase through 2026, fueled by a 6-gigawatt Instinct GPU contract with Meta and soaring data center revenues. However, valuation pressures remain as concerns over AI data center financing and customer concentration risk heighten stock volatility.
In the bullish scenario, the November 3 earnings report will confirm guidance for doubled earnings in 2027, justifying the valuation premium. Conversely, in the bearish scenario, growth for 2027 could be delayed if demand from key buyers slows down, with forward P/E ratios exceeding 50 acting as a key risk.
