Zacks‘ analyst wrote, “AMD is the second largest producer of microprocessors, GPUs and chipsets in the world. Its second quarter earnings missed estimates, impacted by slowdown in China and Europe and a resultant inventory imbalance. The company’s new products, strength in graphics, advancements in 32nm manufacturing and position in China remain long-term positives. However, Intel remains a strong competitor with superior strategy, technological prowess and the clout that may be expected of the market leader. While AMD has had some success, wresting significant market share from Intel will be difficult, particularly at high-end categories. Competition from ARM is also expected to increase over the next few years. We are, therefore, reiterating our Neutral rating on AMD shares. “
  • Advanced Micro Devices had its “outperform” rating reaffirmed by analysts at Wells Fargo & Co..
  • Advanced Micro Devices had its “neutral” rating reaffirmed by analysts at Longbow Research.
