Roy’s updated price target for AMD stock came at a time when the stock market had regained confidence in the semiconductor sector. This space has been a bit volatile in 2026, as movement early in the year was negative due to a variety of factors, such as supply chain concerns, trade war worries, and weakened investor confidence in the AI market. However, those issues have largely been sidelined by the growing demand for AI services.

AMD’s place in the AI market is as a supplier of computer components. The company’s CPUs and GPUs are both used in the servers that power AI data centers. The company is also working on an all-in-one AI server rack solution called Helios, which is set to be released in late 2026. Additionally, the company has continued to support PC enthusiasts with new, powerful consumer products, such as the Ryzen 9950X3D2 Dual Edition CPU.

AMD stock was up 31.16% on Tuesday, extending a 31.16% year-to-date rally. Investors will also note that the company’s shares have gained 218.75% over the past 12 months.
