William Blair Upgrades AMD to Outperform Amid Leadership Crisis at Nvidia
Investment firm William Blair has upgraded Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to 'outperform' while downgrading Nvidia (NVDA) to 'market perform.' The shift follows reports of a leadership crisis at Nvidia, involving investigations into CEO Jensen Huang’s personal conduct and potential removal by the board. This instability is creating a perceived vacuum that could allow AMD to capture more market share in the AI and custom silicon sectors. Beyond the turmoil at Nvidia, William Blair analyst Sebastien Naji noted that AMD is well-positioned to benefit from Intel's (INTC) supply chain delays and roadmap issues in the server CPU market. Analysts project AMD could widen its lead in a $220 billion total addressable market for server CPUs by 2030, potentially capturing higher revenue shares than previously estimated.
