AMD stock seems reasonably valued
Like Nvidia (NVDA), AMD stock has fallen after cryptocurrency prices tumbled. Investors poured money into these stocks as the demand from cryptocurrency miners increased. However, as those prices tanked, so did the stocks.
That said, cryptocurrency mining doesn’t make up a significant portion of AMD’s revenue. Its revenue grew 34% in 4Q17 from the same quarter last year, driven by a 60% year-over-year growth in its computer and graphics division.
The chipmaker saw strong demand for its Ryzen CPUs and its Polaris and Vega GPUs across all consumer segments.
In 2017, Nvidia’s revenues rose 25% from 2016, driven by a 54% growth in its computer and gaming revenue. The company’s long-term narrative remains positive, given its strong position in IoT (Internet-of-Things), AI (artificial intelligence), and next-generation gaming.
