What the analyst said

Baird analyst Tristan Gerra reiterated an Outperform rating and $1,250 price target on AMD (NASDAQ: AMD).

“Server revenue guidance was raised to an over 2x increase for 2027 YoY, up from prior-quarter guidance of up over 70% as AMD has secured more supply and AI demand continues to accelerate both in consumer and enterprise, notably driven by agentic workloads.

Server CPU revenue guidance up >2x for 2027 highlights ongoing and significant share gains, with AMD well positioned from a wafer fungibility standpoint between clients and servers. Outperform-rated

AI-related revenue accelerated QoQ throughout this year, providing management confidence to guide total revenue up at least 80% YoY for 2027 and data center-related revenue exceeding 80% of total revenue, with server revenue now guided for an over 2x increase in 2027 YoY, up from prior quarter guidance of up over 70% as AMD has secured more supply.

We maintain our AI revenue forecast of $41.8B for 2027, up almost 2.6x YoY and following a 2.3x guided increase for 2026 YoY.

Driven by agentic workloads, server CPU revenue growth guidance leads to our $35.5B estimate for 2027, suggesting ongoing significant share gains, with agentic AI a factor driving higher channel count demand which benefits pricing.

Management sees a $220B server CPU TAM by 2030.”
