Apple Stock, AMD, and 8 Other ‘Best Ideas’ for the Second Half of 2024


Advanced Micro Devices is the first company on the list, with a Buy rating and $250 price target. Shares of AMD have risen 6.9% this year, far less than the stocks of some of its chipmaking peers. Nvidia, the poster child for success with AI, has more than doubled.
Some analysts, including Morgan Stanley’s Joseph Moore, who recently cut his rating on the stock to Equal Weight from Overweight, are more cautious on their view of AMD given that it competes with Nvidia. But Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann said AMD can be a winning stock regardless, writing “we do not need to make the case that AMD is better than Nvidia (the green team is clearly on another plane of AI enlightenment); we need to make the case that AMD can capture a modest mid-teens share.”
AMD is a top pick due to the company “possibly gaining accelerator share for the next couple of years, a better-than-expected MI3xx lineup entering 2025, continued CPU share gains (yes, there are a couple more years of this) vs. Intel, and a broader non-AI recovery exiting 2025,” he wrote
