  • AMD Stock Outlook 2027: Can Shares Reach $650 Amid Strong AI Growth?
    June 8, 2026, 1:21 PM EDT. AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) surged 117.77% year-to-date on robust AI infrastructure demand, highlighted by Data Center revenue growth of 57% year over year and a strong Q2 revenue outlook at $11.2 billion. Despite near-term volatility with a 9.63% pullback amid profit-taking and geopolitical risks including U.S. export controls to China, Wall Street maintains a bullish stance with a $482.69 consensus price target. Analyst forecasts suggest a 3.5% upside, while modeling projects a base case of $527.35 and a bull case of $586.63 by June 2027. Achieving $650 per share would require multiple expansion and sustained data center revenue growth over 50%, supported by partnerships with OpenAI, Meta, and Oracle. Risks include mounting China export constraints. AMD currently trades at a high 68x forward earnings but reflects its rapid 91.2% quarterly EPS growth and a PEG ratio near 1.1.
