- 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 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.
- $4,000 in These 4 Non-Nvidia Chip Stocks Could Be Worth This Much by 2030
The article models a $4,000 portfolio split roughly evenly among Broadcom, Marvell, AMD and Arm Holdings, noting that Nvidia alone makes up about 7.5% of the S&P 500. Broadcom and Marvell are tied to large data center operators increasingly commissioning custom ASIC chips, while AMD and Arm are linked to rising CPU demand as AI agents spread. Applying analyst EPS forecasts and a 19-times forward P/E (40 times for Arm), the author estimates the portfolio could exceed $10,000 by 2030, about a 150% return. The projection assumes the AI infrastructure boom continues.
- Why AMD’s CUDA-Challenging AI Playbook Makes It the Ultimate Asymmetric Buy.
AMD's stock fell 9.42% over the past week as a global tech sell-off over AI funding worries hit chip stocks, and the company absorbed about $800 million in export-control charges in Q2 2025. The author argues AMD is building a full alternative to NVIDIA's CUDA, citing more than 3 million models running out of the box on AMD and open-source ROCm contributions growing more than tenfold in a year. Major customers OpenAI, Meta Platforms and Anthropic have committed to multi-gigawatt GPU deployments, and Data Center revenue reached $6.72 billion in Q2, up 107%. Non-GAAP gross margin rose to 56% from 43%, operating margin to 27% from 12%, and FY2025 free cash flow was $5.52 billion. The piece also flags risks, including a P/FCF of 137, no dividend, and a 31% drop in Gaming revenue.
- Agentic AI Could Push This Trillion-Dollar Chipmaker to New Heights, According to Wall Street Analysts
The article argues that agentic AI needs more computing power than standard chatbots, and that orchestrating models is best handled by CPUs, where AMD has led the data center CPU market since overtaking Intel in 2024. AMD recently released Helion, a CPU-only rack for agentic AI infrastructure, and Meta has a deal with AMD covering GPUs, CPUs and rack-scale systems. BNP Paribas raised its price target to $960, almost 60% above the $606 price, while Citigroup set $800 and Mizuho set $705. The stock is up 180% this year, its market cap is above $1 trillion, and it trades at about 77 times forward earnings, though the article notes expectations are already high and investors should do their own research.
- Advanced Micro Devices vs. SK Hynix: Which Semiconductor Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
The article compares AMD, which designs data center GPUs and consumer CPUs, with SK Hynix, a memory maker of DRAM, NAND and high-bandwidth memory for AI. AMD posted FY 2025 revenue of nearly $34.6 billion, up about 34.3%, and is deploying 6 gigawatts of GPUs with OpenAI, though it faces customer concentration risk and depends on third-party manufacturers such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. SK Hynix reported revenue of close to $72.9 billion, up about 46.8%, net income of about $32.2 billion and a 44.2% net margin, but the memory industry is cyclical and it competes with Samsung Electronics. Debt-to-equity is about 0.1x for AMD and 0.2x for SK Hynix, and the article says SK Hynix looks cheaper on forward P/E.

- An EU Power Is Losing Investor Favor: Could the Crisis Spread to Its Neighbors?
France's 10-year government bond yield rose above 5% this week for the first time since 2002, while its spread over German bonds passed 170 basis points on Oct. 22, the highest since the early-2010s eurozone debt crisis. The cost of insuring against a French default through credit default swaps (CDS) also reached its highest level since that period, while the euro has lost nearly 5% against the USD since the start of the year. France's budget deficit is among the highest of the 21 eurozone countries, government debt reached 119% of GDP at the end of Q2 2026, and the government cut its 2026 growth forecast to 0.5%. ING's chief eurozone economist Carsten Brzeski said France has moved deep into crisis territory but faces no immediate liquidity risk, while George Lagarias of Forvis Mazars estimates only a 10-20% chance the problem becomes a crisis similar to the early 2010s. Strategists at BlackRock say the financial environment is significantly different from before the eurozone crisis, with a stronger banking system and more ECB tools, but Italy and Spain could face higher borrowing costs if stress spreads.
- Why GE Aerospace Stock Keeps Going Down
GE Aerospace (GE) shares have fallen three straight sessions since its Q3 earnings report, losing nearly 9% this week even though results beat analyst forecasts. The company reported earnings of $2.25 per share on $13.3 billion in sales, with revenue up 16% year over year, new orders up 49%, and a 1.35 book-to-bill ratio. Bernstein SocGen's Douglas Harned lowered his price target to $376 while still viewing the stock positively, citing rising jet fuel prices during the prolonged Iran war as a risk to airline profits. The article notes that based on GE's 2026 free cash flow forecast of $9.1 billion, the stock trades at more than 36 times current-year free cash flow, and most analysts expect profit growth below 18% per year over the next five years.
