Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock is in the spotlight this morning, up more than 2% in premarket trading after an upgrade to “Buy” at Truist Securities. In a note to clients, the brokerage firm said that AMD has graduated from its former status as a “price check” against rival Nvidia (NVDA), with hyperscalers now “expressing true interest in deploying AMD at scale.” Truist also hiked its AMD price target to $213.
Separately, AMD announced a new partnership with IBM (IBM) to develop quantum-centric supercomputing solutions. The two tech giants will integrate AMD’s CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs into IBM’s quantum computers to help accelerate a new class of emerging algorithms.
