Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in Focus: Stock Jumps 8.2%
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 8% on the day. Shares moved up after the company announced that its "Zen" processor core achieved a 40% improvement in instructions-per-clock, compared to its previous versions. This led to solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $5.22 to $7.04 in the past one-month time frame.
This semiconductor industry stock witnessed two positive estimate revisions over the past 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate also moved up over the same time frame, suggesting that more solid trading could be ahead for Advanced Micro. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if Friday’s jump can turn into more strength down the road.
Advanced Micro has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.
