  • AMD Stock Prediction: Can Shares Hit $650 by 2027 Amid Strong Data Center Growth?
    June 8, 2026, 2:54 PM EDT. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) posted 57% revenue growth in its Data Center segment and a 253% surge in free cash flow, driving a bull case for shares to reach $650 by 2027. Current Wall Street consensus targets $482, seen as conservative given AMD's momentum. Achieving $650 requires sustained 50%+ Data Center growth and upward earnings per share (EPS) revisions supporting a 95x forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple. Geopolitical risks persist, notably U.S. export controls on China, which cost AMD $440 million in fiscal 2025 and could limit upside. The stock's volatility, with a beta of 2.49, has prompted recent profit-taking after a 303% one-year gain. Analysts are mostly bullish, with 80% recommending buy or strong buy ratings.
