Summary

  • Wells Fargo raised AMD's price target to $615 from $505 ahead of Aug. 4 earnings, citing a stronger path to more than $20 a share in 2028 earnings.
  • AMD's bullish case rests on AI GPU and server CPU demand: Wells Fargo lifted 2026-2028 server CPU revenue forecasts to $16.0 billion, $20.5 billion and $25.0 billion, while keeping data-center GPU estimates above consensus.
  • TD Cowen kept a buy on Amazon but trimmed its target to $340 from $350, expecting Q2 revenue of $200.1 billion as AWS growth accelerates to 35.5% and Prime Day shifts into the quarter.
  • RBC reiterated Marvell at buy with a $360 target after management meetings reinforced expectations for 40%-plus growth over the next three years, helped by AI demand, optical lead times above six months and custom revenue targeted above $10 billion by 2028.
  • The calls come as broader markets face Middle East tensions and doubts about AI spending durability, yet analysts still point to cloud, semis and AI infrastructure as standout growth pockets.
