Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares continued gaining ground Tuesday, boosted by upbeat Wall Street commentary following the chipmaker’s “Advancing AI” event last week.
Piper Sandler on Monday raised its price target for the stock and expressed enthusiasm for AMD’s recently unveiled Helios server rack architecture, which will combine the company’s next-generation AMD MI400 chips into one larger system. The investment bank pointed out that the hardware, anticipated for release in 2026, is “pivotal” for the growth of AMD Instinct GPUs.
Meanwhile, analysts at Bank of America speculate that the chipmaker could announce Amazon (AMZN) as a partner after the tech giant’s cloud unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS), was a key sponsor of last week’s event.
