Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Could Outpace Nvidia After the Next Chip Upgrade
However, one of those rivals has been making solid strides on the product development front.
AMD could grab a bigger share of the AI chip market, setting it up for solid long-term gains.
10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices ›
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been the biggest beneficiary of the tremendous demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips. This is not surprising, as the parallel computing ability of its graphics processing units (GPUs) makes them ideal for AI model training and inference.
It is worth noting that Nvidia has been running away with the data center GPU market, with an estimated market share of 92% at the end of last year. That's miles ahead of second-place Advanced Micro Devices' (NASDAQ: AMD) share of just 4%. However, it won't be surprising to see AMD taking market share away from Nvidia thanks to its upcoming chips.
Let's see why that may be the case.
AMD recently unveiled its AI chip roadmap at an investor event. The chipmaker used the event to launch its MI350 series of data center GPUs, promising a "4x generation-on-generation AI compute improvement and up to 35x leap in inferencing performance." This new line of chips is manufactured on a 3-nanometer (nm) process node. That gives it an advantage over Nvidia's latest generation of Blackwell processors, which are reportedly manufactured using a 4nm node.
Chips manufactured using a smaller process node are theoretically more powerful and power-efficient, since they pack a higher number of transistors into a smaller area. As a result, the electrons need to travel in a smaller area to perform computing tasks, and they generate less heat. So, AMD's latest generation of AI accelerators could be better than Nvidia's offerings, at least on paper.
AMD points out that its MI350 series processors have stronger specifications compared to Nvidia's Blackwell offerings, packing in 1.6 times more memory. It also points out that the MI355X processor is 1.2 times to 1.3 times faster than Nvidia's Blackwell chips while running inference models such as DeepSeek R1 and Llama 3.1.
More importantly, AMD is aiming to hurt Nvidia big time with its MI400 series of accelerators that are set to be launched next year. The company is going to increase the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) capacity to 432 gigabytes (GB) on the MI400 from 288GB on the MI350 series chips. What's more, AMD is going to more than double the memory bandwidth in the MI400 processors, to 19.6 terabytes per second.
AMD points out that the MI400 will mark a significant leap in AI compute performance, which will be far greater than what it saw in the previous generational upgrade. Meanwhile, Nvidia's next generation of AI GPUs is expected to pack similar memory compared to the current generation Blackwell processors, which means that AMD could enjoy a spec advantage on paper.
A bigger memory stack will allow AMD's chips to transfer more data, while the higher bandwidth will enable faster transmission, at least theoretically. This potential advantage could spur stronger sales of AMD's AI GPUs, helping the company capture a bigger share of the market. Now, AMD doesn't need to overtake Nvidia to supercharge its growth. It simply needs to capture a double-digit share of the AI GPU market in the next three years.
Assuming AMD can capture 10% of the AI GPU market by 2028, its revenue from this segment could hit $50 billion (based on the projected $500 billion annual revenue that the AI accelerator market is expected to hit by 2028). This could be enough to help it deliver more upside than Nvidia.
AMD finished 2024 with just under $26 billion in total revenue. The company says that it sold more than $5 billion worth of data center GPUs last year, which means that the non-AI data center GPU businesses contributed $21 billion. Assuming it doesn't witness any growth in the rest of its segments over the next three years (and generates $21 billion in annual revenue from its non-AI GPU business in 2028), but manages to hit $50 billion in AI GPU revenue, its annual top line could hit $71 billion after three years.
The shares are currently trading at 8.4 times sales, which is almost in line with the U.S. technology sector's average sales multiple of 8.1. Assuming that AMD trades in line with the technology sector's multiple after three years, its market capitalization could hit $575 billion based on the revenue it is expected to generate in 2028. That points toward potential gains of 150% from current levels.
Nvidia, on the other hand, is trading at an expensive price-to-sales ratio of 26. However, with the company's top-line growth rate expected to slow down over the next couple of years, it won't be surprising to see Nvidia trading at a discount. As such, the possibility of AMD delivering more gains than Nvidia thanks to its upcoming chips cannot be ruled out. That's why AMD looks like a solid AI stock to buy right now.

The Lovesac Company's (NASDAQ:LOVE) Stock Is Rallying But Financials Look Ambiguous: Will The Momentum Continue?
Lovesac (NASDAQ:LOVE) has had a great run on the share market with its stock up by a significant 34% over the last three months. But the company's key financial indicators appear to be differing across the board and that makes us question whether or not the company's current share price momentum can be maintained. Specifically, we decided to study Lovesac's ROE in this article. Return on Equity or ROE is a test of how effectively a company is growing its value and managing investors' money. In other words, it is a profitability ratio which measures the rate of return on the capital provided by the company's shareholders. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Return on equity can be calculated by using the formula: Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Lovesac is: 6.8% = US$14m ÷ US$201m (Based on the trailing twelve months to May 2025). The 'return' refers to a company's earnings over the last year. So, this means that for every $1 of its shareholder's investments, the company generates a profit of $0.07. View our latest analysis for Lovesac We have already established that ROE serves as an efficient profit-generating gauge for a company's future earnings. We now need to evaluate how much profit the company reinvests or "retains" for future growth which then gives us an idea about the growth potential of the company. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don't necessarily bear these characteristics. At first glance, Lovesac's ROE doesn't look very promising. Next, when compared to the average industry ROE of 15%, the company's ROE leaves us feeling even less enthusiastic. As a result, Lovesac reported a very low income growth of 4.0% over the past five years. As a next step, we compared Lovesac's net income growth with the industry and were disappointed to see that the company's growth is lower than the industry average growth of 11% in the same period. The basis for attaching value to a company is, to a great extent, tied to its earnings growth. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. By doing so, they will have an idea if the stock is headed into clear blue waters or if swampy waters await. Is LOVE fairly valued? This infographic on the company's intrinsic value has everything you need to know. Lovesac doesn't pay any regular dividends, meaning that potentially all of its profits are being reinvested in the business. However, this doesn't explain the low earnings growth the company has seen. So there could be some other explanation in that regard. For instance, the company's business may be deteriorating. Overall, we have mixed feelings about Lovesac. While the company does have a high rate of profit retention, its low rate of return is probably hampering its earnings growth. Having said that, looking at the current analyst estimates, we found that the company's earnings are expected to gain momentum.

Investors who have held America's Car-Mart (NASDAQ:CRMT) over the last three years have watched its earnings decline along with their investment
America's Car-Mart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRMT) shareholders will doubtless be very grateful to see the share price up 42% in the last quarter. But that cannot eclipse the less-than-impressive returns over the last three years. Truth be told the share price declined 39% in three years and that return, Dear Reader, falls short of what you could have got from passive investing with an index fund. Although the past week has been more reassuring for shareholders, they're still in the red over the last three years, so let's see if the underlying business has been responsible for the decline. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time. America's Car-Mart became profitable within the last five years. We would usually expect to see the share price rise as a result. So it's worth looking at other metrics to try to understand the share price move. Revenue is actually up 3.3% over the three years, so the share price drop doesn't seem to hinge on revenue, either. It's probably worth investigating America's Car-Mart further; while we may be missing something on this analysis, there might also be an opportunity. The company's revenue and earnings (over time) are depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). We know that America's Car-Mart has improved its bottom line lately, but what does the future have in store? So we recommend checking out this free report showing consensus forecasts America's Car-Mart provided a TSR of 4.1% over the last twelve months. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return. On the bright side, that's still a gain, and it is certainly better than the yearly loss of about 5% endured over half a decade. It could well be that the business is stabilizing. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand America's Car-Mart better, we need to consider many other factors. For instance, we've identified 2 warning signs for America's Car-Mart (1 is potentially serious) that you should be aware of. We will like America's Car-Mart better if we see some big insider buys. While we wait, check out this free list of undervalued stocks (mostly small caps) with considerable, recent, insider buying. Please note, the market returns quoted in this article reflect the market weighted average returns of stocks that currently trade on American exchanges. Have feedback on this article?
