Why AMD stock can climb higher
On its third-quarter earnings call, AMD reported a 36% year-over-year increase in revenue, driven by AI data centers, servers, and PC demand.
The recent deal with OpenAI is a major growth catalyst for AMD. The deal calls for AMD to supply 1 gigawatt worth of its new Instinct MI450 chips starting next year and expanding up to 6 gigawatts over the long term. Other major tech companies like Microsoft and Google are also increasingly using AMD's chips, further validating AMD's competitive position.
Wall Street analysts anticipate AMD's earnings per share growing to $9.62 by 2027. If the stock continues to trade at the same forward price-to-earnings multiple of 61, the stock could be worth $586 in two years. A lower multiple of 35, would still put the share price at $336.
Based on its momentum, AMD remains a compelling stock to consider to profit off the growing demand for AI chips.
