Street View: AMD executing well but bar remains exceptionally high
Corrects first bullet to say $5 billion AI chip sales forecast is for 2024, not 2025
** Advanced Micro Devices AMD.O on Tuesday forecast Q4 revenue just shy of estimates and raised its artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales forecast to $5 billion for 2024, but it was not enough to impress investors.
** Chip company's shares fall 8.63% to $151.9 in premarket trade
LONG TERM AI PATH IN FOCUS
** Morgan Stanley ("equal-weight," PT: $169) says sequential momentum in AI could be challenging in 2025 as co is still building the ecosystem; says servers and client business are strong
** "Overall, risk reward balanced short term - long term AI product roadmap will be key" - Brokerage
** TD Cowen ("buy," PT: $185) says AMD's forward roadmap and progress on building networking ecosystem reinforces confidence that it can capture value in AI computing; sees it as best positioned alternative to NVIDIA in accelerated computing
** Piper Sandler ("overweight," PT: $180) says AMD is executing 'flawlessly' on GPU roadmap and will stand out along with its client and server business but gaming and embedded units appear to be a headwind
** Jefferies ("buy," PT: $190) says there is much to be positive in terms of business trends but concern is that AMD wont be able to provide upside to street estimates for CY25
** Brokerage says "stock likely treads water until there is better visibility on AI for 2025"
