Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., AMD
On April 14, GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu released a client note reiterating his Buy stance on AMD shares while maintaining a $311 valuation target. His central thesis: customer appetite for AMD’s graphics processors and central processing units persistently exceeds available inventory.
“Regarding GPU developments, after our previous CoWoS adjustments, we’re observing favorable indicators of renewed acceleration for Helios racks,” Pu noted. He highlighted that demand from major customers such as OpenAI and Meta significantly surpasses current production capacity.
The artificial intelligence narrative plays a pivotal role. Pu identified agentic AI applications as a significant catalyst enhancing AMD’s market positioning, with the MI455 GPU and the company’s product roadmap reinforcing its competitive standing.
Server Processor Segment Maintains Momentum
Within the CPU arena, AMD’s server processor division continues expanding its footprint. Mercury Research data indicates AMD secured a 41% value share during Q4 2025, accompanied by a 29% shipment share.
Pu attributed this performance to expanded N3 wafer production capacity combined with average selling price improvements driven by strategic pricing adjustments. The forthcoming N2-based Venice processor is anticipated to provide additional growth catalysts.
For the complete fiscal year, GF Securities anticipates AMD’s server CPU unit shipments will expand 28% compared to the prior year, while revenue is projected to surge 46% in 2026. These represent substantial growth figures for an enterprise already operating at significant scale.
Industry observers have questioned whether ARM architecture processors might erode AMD’s position among cloud infrastructure providers. While Pu recognized this dynamic, he contended that x86 architecture maintains advantages when paired with GPU configurations, delivering superior performance for orchestration workloads.
He further emphasized Venice’s technical advantages — including reduced SRAM latency, comprehensive software compatibility, and approximately 1.6 TB/s memory bandwidth capacity — as factors preserving AMD’s competitive edge.
