Analyst Says Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Can Get $25 Billion in GPU Sales With Just 5% Market Share
Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD) is one of the 10 Stocks to Buy and Sell in 2025: Top Analyst Calls. Ben Reitzes, Melius Research managing director, recently said in a program on CNBC that Nvidia getting the permission to start selling AI chips in China is also 'great' for Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD). He believes AMD could benefit if it manages to get even 5% of the total market share amid a rise in inference. 'Our thesis on Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD) is I mean how could they—Lisa Su is real. She's great. She's very compelling. Nothing against Jensen, but how do they not get like 5% share of the market? Not even 10. If they get 5% of the market in 2028, that's 25 billion in GPU sales. That's like 950, 10 bucks in earnings. So, our bet on Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD) is they have a good product. It's really good for inferencing and people are going to give them a look. So, we're hearing, you know, like Meta's a little more interested in some of the new stuff. X, XAI, OpenAI really interested. So our thesis there now, China for them is it could be like add 20% plus to their AI revenue, but they don't have—they just have one, the old chip they were selling. We need to hear about more chips to get more confident, but it's great for Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD). Don't get me wrong. It's great for AMD.' Photo by Vishnu Mohanan on Unsplash Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) bulls believe the market should stop comparing the company's chips with Nvidia and focus on its data-center growth and its competitive edge over other players like Intel. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)'s strong growth in the data center segment is indeed impressive, driven by Instinct GPU shipments and strong sales of EPYC CPUs. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) will continue to benefit from organic growth catalysts in this segment despite the competition from Nvidia. According to Goldman Sachs Research, global data center demand could surge by 160% by 2030. In the U.S., data centers are projected to use 8% of total power by 2030, up from 3% in 2022. McKinsey estimates that adding the required U.S. capacity will need over $500 billion in infrastructure investment by the decade's end. Longriver Partners Fund stated the following regarding Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

Six MKP members in KZN defend their vote against the Division of Revenue Bill
The KwaZulu-Natal Legislature building in Pietermaritzburg. Image: Shan Pillay One of the six Umkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) members of KwaZulu-Natal legislature who voted against the Division of Revenue Bill has defended their decision and accused the party MPLs who supported it as out of line. In an unprecedented move, six party MPLs broke ranks with the caucus and voted against the bill while 31 other members supported during the chamber sitting last week, prompting calls for action against the 'rebelling' MPLs. The member who spoke on condition of anonymity on Thursday denied going against the party's position, saying it was him and other five members who kept the long-standing position and voted against the Bill. He stated that firstly, the new chief whip never called a caucus meeting before voting and there was no new instruction for members to vote in a particular way therefore the six of them followed a long-standing position that the MKP will never support anything that comes from the Government of Provincial Unity (GPU) since the party believes the elections were rigged. 'We hear people saying we undermined the party's instruction and we wonder which one because we never received any instruction to vote for this bill nor were we called to a caucus meeting before voting. In the absence of any new instruction, we decided to follow the long-standing position we were given when the government was constituted last year that our party will not support any thing that would come with the GPU since we were robbed of an opportunity that was given to us by the voters to be the government of the province,' said the member. Furthermore, the member said to prove that they were not wrong, the party has not charged them after explaining their side to the provincial leadership under convener Willies Mchunu. The member further said that in their engagement with Mchunu it "became clear that it was an oversight from those who supported the Bill". However, the party chief whip Bonginkosi Mngadi disputed the member's version that there was no meeting or mandate to support the Bill. He stated that he called a caucus meeting where he informed the members of the position and even articulated the position when he spoke for the party before voting for the Bill. 'I am chief whip of the party in the legislature and spoke in the chamber that the party will support the Bill since it was talking about transparency and accountability so I was speaking on behalf of the party,' said Mngadi. He said he would not want to discuss the matter further since it was reported to the provincial leadership. Attempts to get Willies Mchunu were unsuccessful. There was also confusion when the same Bill was voted in parliament on Wednesday where the MKP chief whip Colleen Makhubekele voted yes for the bill only to change her vote later, arguing that she thought the vote was about the Ad hoc committee on allegations of Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's interference in police operations which we were reported by KwaZulu-Natal provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

Jim Cramer on Advanced Micro Devices: 'It's Going in the Right Direction'
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer shed light on. A caller asked if Cramer thinks CEO Lisa Su can take the company to a trillion-dollar market cap, and he replied: 'I don't know, but it's going in the right direction. I mean, they obviously have now good GPUs. There's a GPU shortage everywhere. Stock's had a real big run off the bottom. I do think it could have a pullback, but I do think that she's got what it takes to be able to take that stock much higher.' Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is a global semiconductor company that designs and supplies microprocessors, graphics cards, chipsets, and embedded processors. On June 9, Cramer remarked: 'So traders say if I can't make money after Broadcom reporting a great quarter, the playbook says time to move into the lower quality, cheaper stocks that are less likely to disappoint or should never have been down to begin with. I understand the sentiment, but the problem is that these stocks have already rallied pretty hard, too…I saw some upgrades for AMD…. They've moved, especially AMD by the way, on speculation it might be involved with any China deal. Rare earth materials for us, AMD chips for them. While we acknowledge the potential of AMD as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Better Cloud AI Stock: CoreWeave vs. DigitalOcean
Key Points CoreWeave's transformation from a crypto miner to a cloud GPU leader is paying off. DigitalOcean is expanding its cloud platform at a slower and steadier rate. The hare might beat the tortoise this time. 10 stocks we like better than CoreWeave › CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) and DigitalOcean (NYSE: DOCN) both help companies process artificial (AI) tasks with their cloud-based graphics processing units (GPUs). CoreWeave, previously a cryptocurrency mining company, mainly serves larger companies. DigitalOcean splits its servers into "droplets" for smaller businesses and developers. Each should be in a good position to profit from the explosive growth of the AI market. However, investors are clearly more bullish on CoreWeave, which went public at $40 in March but now trades at around $125. DigitalOcean trades at $29, which is nearly 40% below its initial public offering price of $47 from March 2021. Let's see which is the better cloud AI stock. The differences between CoreWeave and DigitalOcean CoreWeave was once an Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) miner, but it abandoned that business model in 2018 and started using its GPUs to remotely process AI tasks. In 2022, it spent about $100 million to install Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) H100 GPUs in its data centers, and it used those GPUs as collateral to secure more funding to build additional data centers. It subsequently attracted investments from Nvidia, Cisco, and other tech giants. Today, CoreWeave operates 33 data centers across the U.S. and Europe -- up from just three centers at the end of 2022. Its top customers include Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and OpenAI. DigitalOcean's cloud infrastructure platform, which provides remote storage and computing power, is similar to Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. But unlike those leading cloud platforms, which mainly serve large enterprise clients, DigitalOcean carves up its cloud servers into thinner and more affordable slices for smaller businesses. In 2023, it added cloud-based GPUs to its platform via its acquisition of Paperspace. DigitalOcean has been expanding much more slowly than CoreWeave: It currently operates 15 data centers across nine geographic regions, up from 14 centers at the end of 2022. Which company is growing faster? From 2022 to 2024, CoreWeave's annual revenue grew at a staggering compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 990%, from $16 million to $1.9 billion. DigitalOcean's revenue rose at a more modest (but still respectable) CAGR of 16%, from $576 million in 2022 to $781 million in 2024. CoreWeave grew much faster than DigitalOcean for three reasons. First, it focused only on providing cloud-based GPUs for demanding AI tasks instead of a broader range of storage and computing services. DigitalOcean's acquisition of Paperspace gave it a foothold in the AI market, but its non-AI cloud services aren't growing as rapidly. Second, CoreWeave locked in huge customers, like Microsoft and OpenAI, that could afford to quickly ramp up their spending on its cloud-based GPU services. DigitalOcean served smaller developers and small-to-medium-size businesses -- which paid less money to deploy their apps and sandboxes. Third, CoreWeave has taken on lots of debt and racked up steep losses to buy more GPUs and open more data centers. DigitalOcean has been prioritizing its profit growth over its near-term expansion, and its net income has stayed in the black over the past two years. Which stock has more upside potential? From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect CoreWeave's revenue to grow at a CAGR of 106% to $16.7 billion as it turns profitable in the final year. They expect DigitalOcean's revenue to increase at a CAGR of 14% to $1.2 billion as its net income rises at a CAGR of 29% to $179 million. CoreWeave's projected growth trajectory looks incredible, but that expansion will likely be driven by a lot of debt and secondary offerings. Yet with a market cap of $63.5 billion, it doesn't seem that pricey relative to its growth potential at 13 times this year's sales. DigitalOcean, with a market cap of $2.7 billion, might seem a lot cheaper at 3 times this year's sales. But it's trading at that discount because it's growing at a much slower rate. Its conservative AI strategy also isn't attracting as much attention as CoreWeave's all-in expansion. So for now, CoreWeave still looks like a better play on the cloud and AI markets than DigitalOcean. Its business strategy is risky and aggressive, but it could generate much bigger long-term returns for its investors than DigitalOcean's less ambitious approach.
