As previously reported, Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore downgraded AMD to Underweight from Equal Weight. Moore said he has been "somewhat cynical" on the stock due to valuation, but he maintained an Equal Weight rating until now as his earnings estimates were above consensus. However, while the consensus view has climbed to his level the fundamental outlook is less robust as microprocessor momentum has been slow to build and he expects cryptocurrency gains to gradually fade from here. The analyst, who also expects consoles to decline and graphics to be "flattish," lowered his price target on AMD shares to $8 from $11.

TD Cowen raised the firm's price target on AMD to $200 from $185 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst expect data center strength and "well-known softness elsewhere" when AMD reports Q1 results. The firm sees AMD as generating upwards of $10.00 in earnings per share by 2027, or a nearly 40% annual growth off of 2023. TD increased its MI300 2024 revenue estimate to $4.5B from $4B, saying ramps at several customers will continue to happen more quickly than typical. AMD remains one of its top picks.
