Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in Focus: Stock Rises 8.2%

Read MoreHide Full Article

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as its shares rose over 8% on the day. The move came after analysts at Bank of America upgraded the stock to Buy from Underperform just one week after Jim Cramer mentioned the company as a potential acquisition target. This led to 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 $6.30 to $9.56 in the past one-month time frame.

None of the estimates for this stock were revised over the past 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate also remained unchanged over the same time frame. Yesterday’s price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

Advanced Micro Devices carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

A better-ranked stock in the electronics-semiconductors space is On Track Innovations Ltd. , sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
