Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 70 days.
The thesis — published July 28, 2025
AMD is holding strong after a 15% dip back to its recent average price, setting up nicely for the 5 Aug earnings report, where Wall Street expects sales to grow roughly one-third from last year. Excitement stayed high after Samsung won a Tesla chip order, and trading in options is about two-and-a-half times busier than usual. If management says its new MI-300 chip will ship fast, past patterns point to an 18% pop; we aim for a 25% climb to about $205 within three months as positive mood and solid results line up.
Primary drivers
- Top scores for price strength and investor mood keep AMD leading the AI chip race
- Earnings on 5 Aug: analysts expect sales up ~35%, driven by the MI-300 chip
- Options trading is 2.5 times busier and tilted bullish ahead of earnings
- Pullbacks keep stopping near $160, giving a clear level to manage risk
