This makes the stock look like one to own, even though it is up 517% since I last suggested itin February 2017, compared with gains of 80% for the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;and 140% for Nasdaq Composite Index.\nLet’s take a look at why, and how AMD stacks up against competitors.\nKey dynamics\nAdvanced Micro Devices designs central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) used in data center servers, PCs and videogame consoles. That makes it a play on two of the biggest trends in tech right now — migration to the cloud and videogame hardware. Historically, the company lagged Intel Corp..But it has now surpassed its rival because of innovative chip designs and manufacturing issues at Intel.\nOver the past few years, AMD has rolled out highly competitive lines of chips, thanks to the leadership of CEO Lisa Su, who took the helm in 2014, says tech analyst Peter Karazeris at Thrivent. This put AMD back in the game. AMD’s EPYC series of processors for servers has been endorsed by broad usage among the main cloud providers — including Amazon Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Microsoft Corp.,Oracle Corp.&nbsp;and Tencent Holdings Ltd.AMD’s Radeon GPUs for gaming hardware and its Ryzen line of chips used in PCs and laptops are equally successful.\nBesides better chip design, AMD has pulled ahead by drawing on advanced manufacturing capabilities of Taiwan Semiconductor&nbsp;Manufacturing Co. Ltd.,which can pack more punch in chips through the use of smaller, 7 nanometer transistors. Intel is stuck back at 10 nanometers.\nHere’s the upshot in all of this: AMD is a solid play on the megatrend of cloud computing and the related data center buildout. It’s a bet on the increasing complexity of artificial intelligence and big data analytics. And its GPU chips give Nvidia a run for the money. That makes AMD a play on the new Xbox and Sony PlayStation console upgrade cycle and the potential release of a new Nintendo Switch later this year. AMD is also now a serious contender in PCs and notebooks.\n“Our goal at AMD is to really be the leader in the high-performance computing wave,” says Su.\nShe’s getting her way, and you can see the success in the numbers. First-quarter sales grew 93% year-over-year and 6% sequentially. AMD guided for 50% sales growth for the year, up from prior guidance of 37% growth.\n“We believe this guidance should be easily attainable, particularly as Intel deals with manufacturing challenges,” says Morningstar analyst Abhinav Davuluri.\nIn CPUs, sales are growing faster than those of the overall industry, which tells us AMD is gaining share from competitors.\n“We expect continued share growth through the balance of the year and into 2022,” says Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari, who has a buy rating and a $106 price target on AMD. The chip company is on Goldman’s “conviction list” of highly favored companies.\nHere’s how AMD stacks up against competitors in terms of growth in the most recent quarter, profit margins and valuation:\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc890546f0d4079834223660e88bc00d\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"387\">(FACTSET)\nCash and cash flow\nBig cash positions and solid cash flow are positives for investors because they give companies freedom that comes from reliance on banks for financing. Strong cash positions also support investor-friendly moves, such as buybacks and dividends.\nThanks to all the growth, AMD’s cash position rose sharply last year to $2.3 billion, from $1.5 billion in 2019. AMD doesn’t pay a dividend, but its board recently approved a large $4 billion share repurchase. As the company’s first big return of cash to shareholders, this represents about 4% of AMD’s market capitalization. It also signals the company’s confidence in its business and ability to continue generating solid free cash flow despite rising concerns about intensifying competition, says Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Seymore.\nHere’s a look at AMD’s cash position and cash flow&nbsp; growth, relative to competitors. The numbers for Marvell Technology Inc.&nbsp;are through Jan. 30, 2021. The rest are for the first quarter:\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/798ea9650ce6e4247ba91b6912e48a82\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"453\">(FACTSET)\nGlobal reach\nAMD books sales in many regions. That’s a positive when global growth is as strong as it is now — lifted by $30 trillion in fiscal and monetary stimulus worldwide. Big exposure to China could be a risk because of U.S.-China tensions, but this issue seems to be diminishing a bit under President Biden, at least so far.\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04e42a7c55f914ecd7ddb2cbf8562253\" tg-width=\"1259\" tg-height=\"772\">(FACTSET)\nStock valuation and performance\nBy most measures, AMD is the second-priciest stock in its group. But given the growth, it’s justified.\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b26407edc4248424b878d3024bb9ac2\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"550\">(FACTSET)\nWall Street’s opinion\nAs a group, Wall Street analysts are predicting the biggest gains for AMD, among all the companies in its space. It’s also notable that only 61% of analysts have a buy rating, lower than the percentages for Nvidia, Broadcom Inc.,Marvell and Analog Devices Inc..For investors, this is a positive because it tells us there’s more room for sell-side analysts to turn bullish and drive their clients into the name.\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/995f76673215ab81971fbc2e8ace0641\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"551\">(FACTSET)\nRisks\nOne big risk for AMD is that Intel stages a comeback, notes Tony Wang, a tech analyst at T. Rowe Price. Intel has done so before. But AMD still has a few tricks up its sleeve.\nIt recently launched a more advanced version of its EPYC processor, codenamed Milan. This line of server chips will ramp up sales in the second half of this year. AMD is making the leap to even more efficient 5 nanometer production with a line of chips dubbed Genoa, slated for release in 2022. These two rollouts will allow AMD to continue its market-share gains against competitors including Intel, says Jefferies analyst Mark&nbsp;Lipacis — one reason he has a “buy” rating and a $110 price target on the stock.\nAMD is also rolling out next-generation GPUs based on its Compute DNA (CDNA)&nbsp;chip architecture, for use in data centers. And AMD’s merger with Xilinx Inc.&nbsp;later this year should help AMD produce even more sophisticated chips by incorporating Xilinx’s field-programmable gate array (FPGA) capabilities into its chip designs. FPGA gives customers more leeway to customize chips for their own needs.\nOther risks include the cyclical nature of the chip industry and the unpredictable demand from consumers and companies as economic growth rates change. One more threat is the broader adoption of competing chips based on ARM (advanced RISC machines) technology.\nImportant dates\nJuly 26:Second-quarter earnings release.\nOct. 25:Third-quarter earnings release.","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>AMD’s stock has been left behind, but not for long — here’s why</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAMD’s stock has been left behind, but not for long — here’s why\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-14 11:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/amds-stock-has-been-left-behind-but-not-for-long-heres-why-11623343634?mod=home-page>MarketWatch</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nAdvanced Micro Devices has a slew of new cutting-edge products, not to mention a key acquisition, to accelerate growth.\n(GETTY IMAGES)\nTechnology as a sector still looks like a buy after a recent ...\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/amds-stock-has-been-left-behind-but-not-for-long-heres-why-11623343634?mod=home-page\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMD":"美国超微公司"},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/amds-stock-has-been-left-behind-but-not-for-long-heres-why-11623343634?mod=home-page","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1163127718","content_text":"Advanced Micro Devices has a slew of new cutting-edge products, not to mention a key acquisition, to accelerate growth.\n(GETTY IMAGES)\nTechnology as a sector still looks like a buy after a recent rebound, but one chip stock stands out in particular.\nWhile the iShares PHLX Semiconductor ETF and Nvidia Corp.NVDAhave recovered from their May swoons, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. hasn’t yet fully rebounded.
