What the analyst said

Jefferies analyst Blayne Curtis downgraded AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $120 (from $135).

“When we assumed coverage of AMD back in May 2024, we saw continued share gains in PC/Server but had some concerns on the AI ramp and wanted to see more progress to justify a continued positive stance.

Fast forward to today, we are still not seeing much traction in AI to support the $10-15B of AI revenue the street is baking in for 2026/2027 and see Intel’s new management as a catalyst for them to become more competitive, particularly in Client PC.

We move to the sidelines until estimates reset and we get better clarity on AMD’s AI traction and Intel’s turn-around plans.”
