We recently published a list of 14 AI Stocks Catching Wall Street’s Attention. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) stands against other AI stocks catching Wall Street’s attention.
In the latest development in the feud between OpenAI and Elon Musk, the ChatGPT maker has countersued billionaire Musk, citing a pattern of harassment. The company also asked a federal judge to stop Musk from any “further unlawful and unfair action” against OpenAI in a court case over the company’s future structure that has fueled the AI revolution.
OpenAI claims that Musk has tried “nonstop” to slow down its business for his benefit, accusing him of using “bad-faith tactics” against it to help him control AI technology.
Musk has been actively seeking to stop OpenAI from transitioning to a “for-profit” company, claiming that the transition will be a bad idea, which prioritizes commercial interests and compromises its mission of benefiting humanity.
OpenAI, however, denies these allegations. The company must complete its transition by the end of the year if it seeks to secure the entire $40 billion of its current fundraising round. If the transition fails to complete by year-end, the funding will likely be reduced to US$20 billion.
“Through press attacks, malicious campaigns broadcast to Musk’s more than 200 million followers on the social media platform he controls, a pretextual demand for corporate records, harassing legal claims, and a sham bid for OpenAI’s assets, Musk has tried every tool available to harm OpenAI,”
In response, Musk’s legal team has referred to a $97.4 billion unsolicited takeover bid from a Musk-led consortium. This bid was rejected by OpenAI.
“Had OpenAI’s Board genuinely considered the bid as they were obligated to do they would have seen how serious it was. It’s telling that having to pay fair market value for OpenAI’s assets allegedly ‘interferes’ with their business plans.”

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) develops semiconductors, providing processors and graphics technologies for gaming, data centers, and AI-driven high-performance computing. On April 8, TD Cowen analyst Joshua Buchalter maintained a “Buy” rating on the stock and lowered the associated price target to $110.00 from $135.00. The firm’s buy rating stems from its optimism in AMD’s potential for growth despite company issues and negativity in the computing sector.
Analysts believe that Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)’s upcoming launch of the MI355X mid-year will likely drive momentum in their data center GPU segment, positively impacting the stock. AMD also looks like an attractive opportunity, considering that its valuation is approximately 13 times the estimated 2026 earnings. This is a lucrative deal for investors considering potential traction in the data center GPU market. Even though tariffs are a concern, AMD is focused on capturing value in the AI sector and positioning itself as a feasible alternative to NVIDIA.
Overall, AMD ranks 9th on our list of AI stocks catching Wall Street’s attention. While we acknowledge the potential of AMD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.
