AMD stock climbs as KeyBanc keeps $270 target, flags tight server CPU supply into 2026

AMD stock climbs as KeyBanc keeps $270 target, flags tight server CPU supply into 2026

KeyBanc maintained its Overweight rating on Advanced Micro Devices, signaling expectations the stock will outperform, and held firm on a $270 price target ahead of the chipmaker’s Feb. 3 earnings. The firm noted hyperscalers—the massive cloud providers—are already securing capacity through 2026, leaving AMD nearly sold out of server CPUs well into that year. This tight demand could drive 10%-15% price hikes. KeyBanc also forecasted 2026 AI GPU revenue between $14 billion and $15 billion. AMD shares rose 1.6% to $253.73 in after-hours trading, notching roughly a 90% gain over the past year. The note arrives amid bets that the AI data-center buildout will continue driving chip demand through 2026, despite the broader semiconductor sector wobbling over growth concerns. For AMD, the immediate issue is whether constrained server supply allows it to hike prices and protect margins—not simply boost shipments.

Ovo’s £2.7m payout: Vulnerable customers waited 19 months for bill support

Britain’s energy regulator has ordered Ovo to pay more than £2.7 million in compensation after thousands of vulnerable customers waited months for a government-backed electricity bill discount that should have arrived during the winter. The ruling lands as households remain sensitive to energy costs and as regulators push suppliers to treat vulnerable customers as a priority, not an afterthought. Delays matter most in winter, when cold weather can turn a missed rebate into a health risk.
