What Happened?
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) got a $100 target raise from Bank of America on September 24, and this time the case centered on server CPUs. Analyst Vivek Arya lifted his target to $720 from $620 and kept a Buy rating, arguing that AI agents make CPU and GPU demand grow together. The note landed three days after AMD first topped $1 trillion in market value on a roughly 10% gain during a broad September 21 chip rally.
AMD closed at $630.63 on September 25, up 0.22% on the day and nearly triple where it started 2026. Its executives made a bigger claim at Goldman Sachs’ Communacopia conference on September 11, per AMD’s investor relations materials.
AMD’s $100 Billion Server Goal Lands Near Bank of America’s Forecast
BofA models server CPU sales rising from around $61 billion in 2026 to around $211 billion in 2030, within 5% of the $220 billion market AMD projects for 2030. At Goldman, Matthew Ramsay, AMD’s corporate vice president of financial strategy and investor relations, said AMD chair and CEO Lisa Su expects the server business to exceed 50% of that market as it grows.
Ramsay added that “to talk about building a $100 billion server business is pretty exciting.” That is a stated ambition, not guidance. Amazon added AMD Turin-based instances to its RDS for SQL Server database service in May, and Daniel McNamara, who runs AMD’s compute and enterprise AI business, said “the reason why is performance.”
On September 24, Akamai Technologies disclosed an $11.6 billion, seven-year commitment from Anthropic for CPU workloads that either side can end under certain conditions. Akamai is the direct beneficiary and hasn’t named a chip supplier, so it is a CPU contract with Akamai, not an AMD order.

At 57x Forward Earnings, AMD Offers No CPU-per-Gigawatt Number
AMD trades at 57 times NTM earnings on a price-to-earnings basis versus 19 times for NVIDIA and 73 times for Intel, its x86 server rival. The premium bets on growth: consensus has 2027 revenue at around $88 billion, up around 73% on the 2026 estimate, a figure that has risen around 15% since June 30. TIKR shows 39 Buys, 5 Outperforms, and 11 Holds with no Sells, and BofA’s $720 sits about 16% above the roughly $619 Street mean, already below the September 25 close.
McNamara put the current CPU-to-GPU mix at a “1:1 sort of ratio” that is growing, but warned that “if you’re trying to find a number to plug into a model, it’s very, very hard.” That leaves the $100 billion goal resting on TAM and share assumptions, not disclosed unit math. Hyperscalers’ in-house Arm chips are a key threat to that share.
Su’s August 4 release listed EPYC first among AMD’s second-half drivers: “We enter the second half with strong momentum as EPYC demand accelerates, Instinct deployments scale and Helios begins to ramp.” The same release guided third-quarter revenue to about $13 billion, above the Street’s $12.52 billion, with gross margin flat at about 56%, yet the stock fell 7.04% on August 5 as investors looked for a stronger outlook.

TIKR’s mid-case model, a scenario built on stated assumptions rather than a forecast, values AMD at around $2,390 by December 31, 2030. That is a ~279% total return from $630.63, or ~37% a year over 4.3 years. The revenue case rests on two drivers, Su named: EPYC share gains in the server CPU market, AMD, and BofA both see passing $200 billion, and the Helios rack ramp.
Consensus has revenue reaching around $229 billion in 2030 from $34.639 billion in 2025, with normalized net margin rising to around 35% from 19.7%. The margin driver is operating leverage, which Ramsay previewed for 2027 with gross margin dollars growing “very significantly faster than expenses.”
If execution holds, earnings can grow into the multiple. If a quarter disappoints at 57x, valuation is the primary risk: the stock fell 27.76% peak to trough in the past year, bottoming on March 3, 2026.
Conclusion
Third-party calendars place AMD’s third-quarter report on November 3, after the close. Consensus sits near $16 billion for the fourth quarter. A guide at or above that, with server CPU strength called out, keeps the CPU case on schedule; August showed that even a guide above estimates costs the stock 7.04% at this multiple.
