  • An analyst from Daiwa has set a $300 price target for AMD, implying a 44% rise from its current level.
  • The stock has gained nearly 65% year-to-date despite recent declines linked to broader tech selloffs.

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) was reaffirmed as a Buy by a leading analyst at Daiwa, who set a $300 price target on the stock this week. This target signals a potential 44% gain from AMD’s current trading price.

Since then, the stock has recovered and is now positioned for a potential new all-time high.

Despite recent downward pressure amid a broad technology sector selloff influenced by concerns related to Oracle’s funding, demand for AI-focused data center hardware continues to support AMD’s business. The company’s AI-optimized CPUs and graphics cards have helped AMD emerge as a key rival to Nvidia (NVDA) in high-performance computing. According to Daiwa’s analysis, competition may intensify through 2026.

Joshua Buchalter, Director at TD Cowen Investment Banking, also issued a Buy rating on AMD stock. He pointed to technological advances in the AI field placing AMD at a competitive advantage. Buchalter noted that AMD is challenging Nvidia in both GPU and AI markets, forecasting a potential stock price near $290 by mid-2026.

The broader Wall Street consensus for AMD is a Strong Buy based on 31 Buy and nine Hold ratings compiled over the last three months. This consensus carries an average price target of approximately $281.97, indicating an estimated 34.8% upside. Among individual firms, Stifel projects a $280 target with a strong historical accuracy score, while Benchmark is more optimistic with a $325 target but a moderate accuracy rating.
