AMD

INTC

NVDA

Ahead of AMD's Q4 earnings report, analysts have raised expectations due to the company's AI prospects, potentially challenging Nvidia. AMD's stock rose 20.6% in January, but questions remain if it can sustain this growth. KeyBanc expects higher Q4 results based on strong server demand, while Intel's recent revenue miss and weak guidance caused its shares to drop. AMD's MI300X AI accelerator chips are gaining traction, but there's potential weakness in the Client segment. Susquehanna revised AMD's price target from $170 to $210, focusing on the MI300 narrative. AMD's premarket shares were down 0.90% at $176.23.
