What the analyst said

Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar reiterated an Overweight rating and $280 price target on AMD (NASDAQ: AMD).

“We attended AMD’s analyst day yesterday in NYC, where the company presented a new model based on a $1T silicon TAM by 2030, representing a 40% CAGR versus its prior $500B target by 2028.

We came away impressed by management’s line of sight toward a $20 EPS by 2030, which likely includes revenue from the OpenAI partnership.

AMD also projected an 80%+ data center AI revenue CAGR over the next 3-5 years, with near-term growth expected to exceed that pace.

We were also positive on the near-complete solution being brought to the table with the Helios rack.

While AMD will not sell the rack solution itself, we note they will implement most of the key components within the rack including GPU, CPU, networking, and DPU.

Overall, we are very pleased with the presented roadmap, and are optimistic on the company’s outlook.”
