Even though Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) stock rallied to a new peak over the past four weeks through October 5, 2026, Ruben Roy, a Wall Street analyst at Stifel Nicolaus, has elevated his 12-month price target.
Roy raised the firm’s 12-month price target for AMD stock to $700 from $635, representing a 10.24% increase. He reiterated a ‘Buy’ rating for Advanced Micro Devices stock, according to a note sent to clients on Monday.
With AMD’s price hovering at $630.97 at the time of writing, the analyst signals a possible 10.94% upside for this stock over the next 12 months.
This upward adjustment is based on strong expectations of beat-and-raise financial results for the company’s September quarter, reinforced by constructive momentum in its EPYC central processing units. Furthermore, Roy argued that near-term structural strength for Advanced Micro Devices is further bolstered by the company’s initial revenue from the MI450 accelerator line.
“Stifel expects beat-and-raise results and sees EPYC upside supporting AMD’s near-term setup,” the analyst noted.
Heading into the September-quarter reporting season, Stifel Nicolaus sees artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure deployment as supply-gated, not demand-gated. As such, Roy expects Advanced Micro Devices to benefit through further upside.
