Betting on a Santa Claus Rally? Consider These 7 Risk-On Stocks - 1 of 7

 
 

#1 - Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) is widely seen as the strongest competitor to NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), and the company is ready to launch its high-performance chip that can compete with NVIDIA’s Hopper platform.

The window to capture market share is small as NVIDIA is already planning to deliver some of its Blackwell chips in the fourth quarter. However, NVDA and AMD make up a duopoly in the data center market. And while critics will note that NVIDIA commands about 90% of that market, AMD is the only other significant player in this space. That says nothing of the company’s position in the still-growing gaming category.  

Some investors will argue that NVIDIA will be a better choice in the chip sector. I won’t try to dissuade that opinion. But if you feel that NVIDIA may be a little overvalued, AMD stock offers a good option. Analysts are forecasting an impressive 70.7% earnings growth in the next 12 months. And the analysts’ consensus price target of $195 is 23% higher than its price on October 17, 2024.
