Here's Why Advanced Micro (AMD) Stock Is Still Going Up
Read MoreHide Full Article
On Monday, shares of semiconductor maker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Free Report) are once again up over 10% to $13.49 per share in afternoon trading after a bullish outlook from Barron’s as well as from its recent strong fourth quarter earnings results.
AMD outperformed the broader semiconductors industry over the last year, gaining 15% year-over-year. And estimates for 2017 are even brighter, with AMD shares expected to double in a year, according to Barron's.
The graphics chipmaker is set to regain the ground it has lost to rivals Intel (INTC - Free Report) and Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) over the last decade as AMD rolls out its new chip offerings, which help to fuel the vastly expanding cloud-computing market.
AMD launched Polaris, a new line of mainstream graphics cards in 2016. AMD is set to debut its new Ryzen CPU in early March along with Vega, a high-end GPU.
"We met our strategic objectives in 2016, successfully executing our product roadmaps, regaining share in key markets, strengthening our financial foundation, and delivering annual revenue growth," said AMD CEO Lisa Su in a press release. "As we enter 2017, we are well positioned and on-track to deliver our strongest set of high-performance computing and graphics products in more than a decade."
AMD moved to a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), after it was listed at Zacks Rank #2 (Sell) early last week. The company currently holds a 32% of the share of the multibillion-dollar graphics chips industry.
