Why AMD Stock Hit A New All-Time High This Week
Portfolio Pulse from Henry Khederian
AMD stock reached a new all-time high, trading up 2.2% to $166.16 after Raymond James maintained a Strong Buy and increased its price target from $140 to $190. The rise in AMD shares is partly due to strong Q4 financial results from Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (TSMC), which reported higher than expected revenue and EPS, and also due to Supermicro's announcement of exceeding its Q2 financial guidance. TSMC's revenue was $19.62 billion with an EPS of $1.44, both surpassing consensus estimates.
