Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is one of the 10 Trending AI Stocks on Wall Street. On January 13, KeyBanc analyst John Vinh upgraded the stock from Sector Weight to Overweight with a price target of $270.00. Firm analysts see surging hyperscaler demand for AMD, alongside stronger-than-expected server demand, and improving visibility across CPU and AI GPU segments.

Earlier, KeyBanc had downgraded AMD to Sector Weight as it was concerned about a potential demand “air pocket” between MI355 and the launch of its rack-scale Helios platform with MI455, anticipated to ramp into volume about late 2026. However, updated supply chain checks have eased these concerns.

The firm stated how supply chain data has revealed that the recent surge in hyperscaler demand has led to AMD being almost completely sold out of server CPU for 2026. Moreover, it may also potentially consider a price increase of about 10-15% in 1Q26.

KeyBanc estimates AMD’s server CPU and AI GPU business to demonstrate strong growth, driven by hypersaler demand and a ramp in MI455 and MI355 accelerators. AI revenues are likely to reach the range of $14-$15 billion this year.

“We estimate server CPU for AMD will grow at least 50% this year. Regarding AI GPUs, we’re seeing indications of 200K MI355 GPUs in the 1H and a significant ramp of MI455 in the 2H, of which 290K–300K is targeted for its rack-scale solution Helios. It remains unclear how many racks AMD will be able to ship; similar to NVDA, we expect AMD to recognize significant amounts of MI455/Helios revenues as it sells in its components to its ODM partner ZT Systems. We estimate that this will support AI revenues this year in the range of $14B–$15B.”

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) develops and sells semiconductors, processors, and GPUs for data centers, gaming, AI, and embedded applications.
