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.
