Jefferies Sees More Share Gains For AMD, Ups Target To $16
Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis raised his price target for AMD (AMD) to $16 from $13 citing better visibility into the Ryzen 7 high-performance and Ryzen 5 power-performance desktop processor launch. The chipmaker closed Friday down 16c to $13.49.
As AMD continues to roll out its Ryzen product offerings, incremental share gains will continue to expand in the near term, Lipacis tells investors in a research note. He believes the company's "ability to price between-the-seams" while achieving competitive performance will result in "meaningful" share gains from Intel (INTC) in the Desktop, Server, and Notebook markets starting in 2017. The analyst upped his estimates for AMD and keeps a Buy rating on the shares.
