Summary

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stands out with strong technical momentum, hitting all-time highs and maintaining a 100% “Buy” opinion from Barchart.

AMD has surged 63% in the past month, supported by robust fundamentals, including projected revenue and earnings growth for the next two years.

Analyst sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with multiple “Strong Buy” ratings and price targets ranging from $180 to $860, citing AMD’s AI potential.

While AMD is widely favored, investors are cautioned about volatility and advised to use disciplined risk management when considering this speculative stock.

Today’s Featured Stock

Valued at $412 billion, Advanced Micro Devices offers the industry's broadest portfolio of leadership high-performance and adaptive processor technologies, combining CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, Adaptive SoCs and deep software expertise to enable leadership computing platforms for cloud, edge and end devices. 

What I’m Watching

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to sort for stocks with the highest technical buy signals; superior current momentum in both strength and direction; and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. AMD checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a new “Buy” on Oct. 6, the stock has gained 27.54%.
