AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) Aktie News

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world we live in, making it a must-invest sector.

The first half of 2025 will draw to a close at the end of this month, and investors have been treated to some big twists and turns in the year so far. Despite some major sell-offs in the spring, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite are up roughly 2% and 1%, respectively, as of this writing.

Intel (INTC -2.00%) made a run at the artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator market with its Gaudi line of chips, which came with the company's $2 billion acquisition of Habana. Unlike the graphics processing units (GPUs) from Nvidia and AMD (AMD 1.12%), Gaudi featured a different type of architecture that excelled in certain workloads.

After falling into a bear market just a couple of months ago, the Nasdaq Composite is back to flirting with all-time highs as concerns over a trade war have been tamped down and fears about a recession have faded against solid earnings reports and macroeconomic data.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD 1.12%) stock ended Friday's trading in the green, despite pullbacks following a pop early in the session. The company's share price closed out the day up 1.1%, but it had been up as much as 4.7% earlier in the session.

In a fast-growing segment like artificial intelligence (AI), it's not always easy to spot bargains; however, they can be found. One of the best ways to find bargains in a hot sector is to look beyond stocks' price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios and instead look at their price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratios, as this metric takes into consideration their earnings growth.

Though Wednesday was a flat day for the stock, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. NASDAQ: AMD looks likely to continue adding to a rally that has logged an impressive 65% since April. The strong uptrend has been characterized by a run of higher lows and higher highs, exactly what Wall Street wants to see after months of concerning underperformance.

Semiconductor stocks, led by Micron, are among the month's best performers, while Coinbase shares have benefited from the craze over stablecoins.
