Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) shares rose 1.73% to $512.32 Friday as technology and semiconductor stocks rallied, with the Nasdaq gaining 0.98% and the S&P 500 advancing 0.99%. At the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, CFO Jean Hu said AMD’s total addressable market could reach $2 trillion by 2030 as artificial intelligence drives demand for GPUs and CPUs in data centers. The outlook echoed CEO Lisa Su’s comments during the second-quarter earnings call. AMD is positioning its next-generation products to capture more AI server and data-center spending, including the Helios AI rack, which BMO Capital Markets views as a direct competitor to NVIDIA Corp. BMO initiated coverage with an Outperform rating on Aug. 21 and expects Helios shipments to begin in September. Analysts have a Buy consensus rating and an average price forecast of $604.66. Piper Sandler began coverage with an Overweight rating and a $600 forecast, while Raymond James upgraded AMD to Strong Buy on Aug. 25 and raised its forecast to $641. BMO set a $550 forecast. AMD remains above its 20-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages, although the 20-day average remains below the 50-day average. The stock faces resistance near $517.50 and support around $463. Benzinga Edge scores show strong momentum, growth and quality but weak value, while AMD’s large ETF weightings could amplify buying or selling pressure.
