Citi and BofA Raise AMD Ratings and Targets as Stock Nears Yearly Peak
Analysts point to underpriced GPU potential and a much larger server‑CPU market driven by agentic AI as reasons the shares could reprice.
Overview
- Citi upgraded AMD to Buy on June 12 and set a $575 target while Bank of America on June 11 raised its target to $560 and kept a Buy rating.
- The moves cite stronger-than-expected GPU opportunity and the chance to win big cloud customers such as Meta, which Citi says AMD is well placed to capture.
- Bank of America raised its 2030 server‑CPU total addressable market to more than $170 billion, forecasting growth tied to the rise of agentic AI.
- Shares moved higher on Monday, opening at $511.57 with a roughly 4.7% gain and trading closer to a 52-week high of $546.44.
- The upgrades follow a solid Q1 beat and heavy insider selling: AMD reported $1.37 EPS and $10.25 billion revenue, CEO Lisa Su sold 125,000 shares on June 10 under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, and insiders disposed of about 372,032 shares worth roughly $158.7 million over 90 days which tempers some investor enthusiasm.
