Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is up 3.9% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.
Analysis: The most likely driver appears to be a wave of higher Wall Street price targets over the last two sessions, which reinforced bullish expectations for AMD’s AI accelerator and server CPU businesses. Investor enthusiasm also seems to be getting support from the company’s upcoming AI event in late July and from momentum heading into its early-August earnings report.
