Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on January 23, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 22% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 25, 2025
AMD's price trend is still pointing up, helped by lots more people buying than usual and a firm recent average price. In Q4, sales rose 16% compared to last year, with data center chips doing most of the work, supporting the growing AI story. The stock is not cheap, so patience matters. Over the next 3 months, favor buying small dips and consider adding only if the price holds above $260 and keeps gaining.
Primary drivers
- Uptrend looks solid, with the recent average price still slanting upward.
- Quarterly sales rose 16%, with data center chips doing the heavy lifting.
- Plenty of buyer interest and a steady upward pace in recent trading action.
- Strong footing in AI chips should keep near-term orders and demand healthy.
How it played out
AMD: the target was not reached
Lyra published AMD at $252.92 on 2025-10-25 with expected growth of 26%. The thesis pointed to a solid uptrend, heavy buyer interest, quarterly sales up 16%, data center chips doing most of the work, and strong footing in artificial intelligence chips. It also noted that the stock was not cheap.
Inside the window, AMD rose to a peak of $267.08 on 2025-10-29, a 5.6% gain. That stayed below the $318.68 target, so the target was never reached. The stock ended at $259.68 on 2026-01-23. The thesis partly played out, but it missed the full move it called for.
