    Raymond James upgrades AMD citing >80% H2 2026 server CPU growth

    Question

    Raymond James upgrades AMD citing >80% H2 2026 server CPU growth

    Direct answer

    Raymond James' upgrade cites agentic AI demand driving a shift to server CPUs and includes firm revenue growth expectations from AMD for the near-term. An upgrade with a high price target often triggers buy-side flows into the stock and can lead to re-evaluation of peers in the CPU/GPU mix. Track AMD order commentary, server customer wins, and any corroborating sell-side notes or bookings.
