Dismal quarterly results have made Intel's stock too expensive for now. AMD is a better value and just posted encouraging earnings.

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) has demonstrated significant resilience and growth potential, even while navigating a challenging market environment.

AMD has underperformed in the generative AI and x86 CPU races, with it currently relegated to the second place. Prior to a healthier competition against the market leader and the eventual reversal in its prospects, we are uncertain if it is wise to recommend a Buy here. Combined with the abrupt departure of Victor Peng from the acquisition of Xilinx, we believe that market sentiments surrounding AMD's prospects are likely to remain depressed ahead.

Over the past three weeks, the AI bubble has deflated. Investors are demanding a higher return on AI spending, while others like Elliott Management have raised questions on valuations.

Alphabet is growing rapidly, but priced in line with the broad market. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is seeing revenue growth accelerate and its competitive advantages remain impressive.

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD ) recently reported strong second quarter (Q2) results with $5.8 billion in revenue and 69 cents in EPS, marking a 9% top-line increase and a turnaround to operating profit. Despite a 25% drop in stock price over six months, AMD's record 115% data center revenue growth and overall progress suggest it remains a solid artificial intelligence (AI) investment opportunity.

Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Broadcom (AVGO), and other semiconductor stocks rallied Thursday, rebounding from losses earlier in the week that were sparked by worries about the U.S. economy and reports of delays in the launch of Nvidia's new Blackwell chip.
