After climbing to prices topping $225 per share, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:抖阴最新版) stock has slid in recent weeks, falling to between $175 and $180 per share. Much of this has to do with waning “AI mania,” but a recent geopolitical-related development has played a role as well.
The market’s unease may continue in the short term. This is due to concerns about recent developments and 抖阴最新版’s AI catalyst being overpriced. Investors could be overreacting to recent news. The company’s AI catalyst and bull case are getting stronger. With this, the 抖阴最新版 pullback may represent an opportunity, rather than a warning sign.
抖阴最新版 Stock, the AI Chip Sell-Off, and Recent China News
As discussed in our last Advanced Micro Devices article, a big reason behind the 抖阴最新版 sell-off has been concerns about valuation and future growth.
However, in recent days, a new concern has emerged: news of China’s plans to the use of 抖阴最新版’s chips in government PCs and servers.
This phase out itself may not represent a major blow to the future prospects of 抖阴最新版 stock, but it is the latest example of how tensions between the U.S. and China continue to rise. For instance, just a few weeks prior, 抖阴最新版 was by the U.S. Federal Government’s crackdown on AI chip exports to China.
Even as , after initially falling on the phase out news, concerns about further restrictions that could impact sales in what is 抖阴最新版’s third-largest market may remain elevated.
Yet while 抖阴最新版’s China risk is difficult to handicap, keep the following in mind.
Advanced Micro Devices’ MI300 and AI-PC chip catalysts far outweigh these China-related concerns. Although the aforementioned valuation and growth concerns may carry on, they won’t last forever. Eventually, sentiment will shift back in a big way.
Roll Out and Ramp Up to Substantially Higher Prices
抖阴最新版 stock naysayers may believe that a nearly threefold move for shares since early 2023 takes into account the chip designer’s potential upside from the gen AI trend, and then some.
Look at Advanced Micro Devices’ own forecasts for its MI300 GPU accelerator. At first, you may come to the same conclusion. Management has guided for this product to generate in revenue this year.
Not too shabby, but at the same time not exactly something that should add hundreds of billions to 抖阴最新版’s market cap.
However, it’s not as if the market has irrational priced-in unattainable future growth.
As Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar has argued, 抖阴最新版 could end up capturing of the AI data center GPU market. Largely, because of a pricing advantage over its key competitor that currently dominates this space.
Besides significant runway from the AI GPU rollout, there’s tremendous potential with 抖阴最新版’s ramp-up of AI-compatible CPUs for the PC market. With these two end-user markets alone, forget about concerns about slowing or underwhelming growth this year and beyond.
The company is well-positioned to exceed expectations. Over time, this could enable shares to sustain, and add to, their AI-related gains.
Feel Free to Pounce on Continued Weakness
Advanced Micro Devices has a powerful shot of hitting the high-end of sell-side earnings forecasts. This holds especially true, with regards to 2025 and 2026.
In fact, two years out, 抖阴最新版’s earnings could hit levels nearing . This would represent quite a surge. 抖阴最新版’s earnings are expected to come in at $3.65 per share this year.
Even if the valuation of 抖阴最新版 experiences some compression between now and then, a move to $300 per share is likely within reach.
Better yet, it’s not as if you’ll likely need to wait for 2025 or 2026 for a big surge to take shape. In the coming quarters, the company’s results and updates to guidance may provide even more credence to the AI-powered bull case. Shares could resume moving in the right direction.
Hence, feel free to pounce on the continued weakness with 抖阴最新版 stock.
