Defiance ETFs CEO and CIO Sylvia Jablonski said in a recent program on Bloomberg that there are trillions of dollars of cash waiting on the sidelines ready to be invested in AI amid demand that is at an all-time high.

“There’s a biggest wealth transfer of our generation happening as we speak. And you know, Gen Z, you know, Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X kind of, you know, the younger traders are, this is where they’re allocating their funds to. And, you know, retail has definitely spoken, and institutions have definitely spoken, and they’re looking for that, that fourth industrial revolution allocation.”

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 107

Bank of America recently downgraded Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) citing lower estimates for artificial intelligence and PC-related revenue in 2025.

In a note to clients, Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya highlighted the competitive environment, particularly from Nvidia (NVDA), as well as the “growing” cloud preference for custom chips from Broadcom (AVGO) and Marvell Technology (MRVL), which could limit Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) potential to gain market share. Arya lowered his rating on AMD to Neutral from Buy and cut his 2025 and 2026 earnings estimates by 6% and 8%, respectively. He also lowered his price target to $155 from $180.

“While our forecast suggests solid 54% year-over-year growth, the limited opportunity to exceed higher street estimates could continue to weigh on AMD’s stock,” Arya wrote. “AMD’s pipeline remains more than a year behind NVDA’s (which is accelerating) and lacks a competitive networking (switching, optics) portfolio.”

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) bulls believe the market should stop comparing the company’s chips with Nvidia and focus on its data-center growth and its competitive edge over other players like Intel. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)’s strong growth in the data center segment is indeed impressive, driven by Instinct GPU shipments and strong sales of EPYC CPUs. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) will continue to benefit from organic growth catalysts in this segment despite the competition from Nvidia. According to Goldman Sachs Research, global data center demand could surge by 160% by 2030. In the U.S., data centers are projected to use 8% of total power by 2030, up from 3% in 2022. McKinsey estimates that adding the required U.S. capacity will need over $500 billion in infrastructure investment by the decade’s end.

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)’s forward adjusted PEG ratio is about 40% lower than the median for the tech sector (XLK).

Columbia Threadneedle Global Technology Growth Strategy stated the following regarding Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:

“Shares of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) lagged the market after the company reported earnings results that, while generally strong, left the market wanting more. The company reported AI revenue of ~$600 million and increased its forward-looking outlook for AI revenue growth, but shares took a breather, as results missed elevated expectations after the stock’s strong performance. Despite the stock’s underperformance during the quarter, the company’s AI story remains very much intact. The growth outlook for the company is supported by better cloud demand, enterprise recovery and continued share gains ahead of the company’s new AI product launch.”

Overall, AMD ranks 6th on our list of AI stocks Wall Street is talking about. While we acknowledge the potential of AMD, our conviction lies in the belief that under the radar AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than AMD but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
