The author says they are not planning to buy AMD stock because it looks too expensive, even though AMD's products are now more competitive alternatives to Nvidia's AI computing units. AMD trades at 130 times trailing 12-month earnings and 67 times forward earnings, well above the 25 to 35 times the author considers typical for a big tech company in the AI race. At 32 times next year's earnings, the article argues the stock already prices in most of the growth expected for 2027, which could lead to a sizable sell-off or slower gains as the stock grows into its valuation. The article compares this with Nvidia, which trades at 27 times trailing earnings.

- AMD vs. Nvidia. 1 Metric Proves Which Is the Best Stock.
The article argues Nvidia is the better stock to buy over AMD, based on revenue growth and valuation. In 2026, AMD shares have risen about 150% while Nvidia has returned 16%. AMD's data center revenue rose 107% to $6.7 billion in Q2 and total revenue grew 50% to $11.5 billion, while Nvidia's data center business grew 117% to $89 billion and total revenue rose 106% to $96.2 billion. If both companies hit next year's earnings projections, Nvidia would trade at 13 times earnings versus 33.5 times for AMD, which the author sees as a large premium. AMD reports Q3 results on Nov. 3.
- 3 AI Stocks To Watch In October 2026
Evercore has warned that tighter credit and higher Treasury yields could hit AI-related stocks, and the article argues that quality and real profitability matter more than hype. It highlights three companies from a profitable AI screen: NVIDIA, whose Compute & Networking segment generates about US$275.4 billion and Graphics about US$27.6 billion, with a market cap of about US$5,124.2 billion; and Advanced Micro Devices, with about US$22.2 billion from Data Center, US$11.8 billion from Client, roughly US$3.6 billion each from Gaming and Embedded, and a market cap of about US$829.2 billion. The article notes that an open-source or cheaper platform rivaling NVIDIA's CUDA could undermine its moat, and that the screen surfaced 36 more companies not covered in the article.
- Is AMD Even a Real Threat to Nvidia or Just a Pricing Lever?
AMD reported revenue of $11.54 billion, up 50.1%, with Data Center sales of $6.72 billion making up 58% of the total, while Nvidia's Data Center unit produced $89.02 billion, up 117%. AMD claims its Helios racks deliver up to 30% more tokens per dollar than competitors, and CFO Jean Hu warned that data center AI gross margin could come in slightly below the corporate average. Nvidia said it has supply for 70% of demand and guided fourth-quarter gross margin to 71% to 72% as memory costs rise. The author sees AMD as a credible second source for AI infrastructure, though AMD shares are up 182.75% year to date versus 22.82% for Nvidia and AMD trades at about 228 times earnings compared with about 46 times for Nvidia, and says Helios volumes will be the key test.
- AMD or Broadcom: If I Could Only Own 1 AI Chip Stock Through 2030, Here's My Pick
AMD and Broadcom have both benefited from the AI boom, with AMD shares up 421% and Broadcom up 285% over three years. In Q2, AMD's revenue rose 50% year over year to $11.5 billion, its data center segment reached $6.7 billion (up 107%), and non-GAAP EPS hit $1.66 (up 246%), with AMD projecting a $220 billion CPU opportunity and a $1.4 trillion AI accelerator opportunity by 2030. Broadcom's fiscal Q3 2026 revenue grew 86% to $29.6 billion, with AI semiconductor revenue up 221% to $16.7 billion, and it projects $115 billion in AI revenue for fiscal 2027 and $230 billion for fiscal 2028. The author gives a slight edge to Broadcom on valuation, at 19.4x forward earnings versus 39.5x for AMD, though AMD's EPS is growing faster. Broadcom's margins could decline as lower-margin AI chip sales take a larger share of its total revenue.
- AMD Stock Price Prediction: One Growth Opportunity Could Push Shares Much Higher
AMD shares are up 156.51% year to date on AI accelerator contracts, though they fell 9.28% over the past week and trade at $549.35. The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a 12-month price target of $546.06, implying 0.6% downside, and rates the stock a hold with 90% confidence. Q2 revenue rose 50.1% to $11.54 billion, beating the $11.31 billion consensus, while Data Center revenue jumped 107% to $6.72 billion. A bull scenario centered on the Helios rack-scale ramp reaches $689.35, while the bear scenario lands at $433.06. Risks include a valuation of 137x trailing earnings, supply limits on wafers and HBM, and a 31% decline in gaming revenue.
- AMD Has a High Floor, High Volatility Trajectory Through the End of 2026
AMD shares trade at $507.93, down 18.57% over the past month but up 137.17% year to date. Second-quarter revenue rose 50.1% to $11.54 billion, with Data Center revenue up 107% to $6.72 billion, and management guided third-quarter revenue to about $13 billion. OpenAI, Meta and Anthropic have committed to 6 GW, up to 6 GW and up to 2 GW of MI450 GPUs, respectively. The article flags risks including a 141x trailing earnings multiple, Meta's first negative free cash flow since 2012, Brent crude above $112, about $800 million in MI308 export-control charges, and a 31% decline in Gaming. The consensus price target of $637.61 implies 25.5% upside, with 56 analysts rating the stock 5 Strong Buy, 40 Buy, 11 Hold and no Sell.

- Rocket Lab Just Postponed Its Neutron Launch. Again.
Rocket Lab has postponed the inaugural launch of its reusable Neutron rocket, announced in an after-hours webcast on October 14. The delay stems from air pockets forming between carbon composite layers in the domes at the top and bottom of the first-stage propellant tanks, which weaken structural integrity; the company chose to delay while developing a new manufacturing process. RKLB shares fell 25% that week. CEO Sir Peter Beck said the problem has been solved, but the target is now a 2027 launch without a specific date, and he acknowledged the timeline is "ambitious." The author argues the delay of a few months to a year will have little near-term impact on revenue or profit, since Neutron was always planned to ramp up gradually, and that Rocket Lab will almost certainly earn its first profit next year regardless of a Neutron launch.

- Gold Prices Keep Plunging: What Should Investors Do?
World gold prices fell to their lowest level since July, and domestic gold prices also declined. Gold expert Trần Duy Phương said the drop does not mean gold has become cheap or that the long-term trend has changed, so investors should weigh their accumulation goals, cash needs and risk tolerance, and avoid acting out of fear of missing out. Dr. Nguyễn Trí Hiếu said there is not yet enough basis to conclude the market has bottomed, and holders should set in advance the maximum loss they can accept. Experts also advised carefully weighing borrowing to invest in gold, avoiding concentrating money in one channel, and keeping an emergency fund. For stocks, Đặng Trần Phục said a deep share price drop does not mean shares are cheap, and businesses should be assessed on revenue, profit and actual cash flow.
- Is Now a Good Time to Buy Lockheed Martin?
Lockheed Martin reported third-quarter results on October 22, with sales up 11% to $20.7 billion and earnings per share of $7.97, nearly $0.50 above analysts' expectations. The company raised its full-year outlook, now expecting sales above $80 billion and free cash flow of $7.8 billion to $8 billion, and increased its dividend for a 24th consecutive year. Backlog grew 27% to $292 billion, including multiyear deals for PAC-3 interceptors and 850 F-35 jets. The author argues the stock, though up more than 20% year to date, remains a solid choice for long-term investors, citing its backlog, guidance and steadily growing dividend, which yields about 2.5%.
- How Investors May Respond To Qualcomm Stock Earnings Outlook Concerns
QUALCOMM affirmed a quarterly cash dividend of US$0.92 per share for December 2026, while diluted EPS fell 16.67% year on year, with a P/E of 20.00, a dividend yield of 2.03% and weaker operating margins. The company is cutting its global workforce and faces pressure in smartphones and Apple-related revenue, while committing capital to data center chips, robotics and AI partnerships with Amazon and Apple. The article notes that two hyperscaler customers have production underway, with revenue targets for fiscal 2027 and 2029. Under the current analyst narrative, revenue is projected at US$60.0b and earnings at US$11.5b by 2029, based on 10.8% yearly revenue growth, and fair value implies about 10% potential upside to the current price. The most optimistic analysts forecast US$66.9b of revenue and US$11.8b of earnings by 2029.
