- Positive Sentiment: One forecast sees AMD’s data-center business exceeding 70% of company revenue in 2027, based on its recent growth outpacing all other segments. If sustained, that mix shift would make AMD more leveraged to the fast-growing AI infrastructure market. Prediction: Data Center Passes 70% of AMD’s Revenue in 2027
- Positive Sentiment: Several analysts and commentators argue that AMD’s strong AI performance and upcoming product ramps are not fully reflected in the valuation, with one bullish thesis suggesting substantial long-term appreciation.
