1 Reason to Buy AMD Stock Before 2027
AMD just guided to more than twice the growth it promised a year ago, and the stock still trades at about 20.5 times 2028 earnings estimates.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has set its sights on a promising future, projecting that 2027 will surpass expectations for the company. This optimism stems from a surge in data center revenue, which grew by an impressive 97% year-over-year in the third quarter. This momentum has prompted AMD's leadership to set ambitious goals, aiming for more than 35% annual revenue growth and earnings exceeding $20 per share over the next three to five years.
CEO Lisa Su reported in August 2026 that the company was exceeding these initial projections, and now management is forecasting an 80% revenue increase in 2027. Server chip revenue is expected to double, with data center AI revenue accounting for over 80% of total revenue by the following year. This shift in revenue composition is anticipated to significantly bolster margins.
CFO Jean Hu further explained that operating expenses are projected to grow at less than half the rate of revenue, leading to an exceptionally significant margin expansion. However, the primary risk AMD faces may not be a slowdown in AI spending, but rather whether the company can meet the soaring demand for its products. Su noted that demand has outpaced supply, and if AMD cannot ramp up production sufficiently, 2027 growth could fall short of its target.
Currently trading at approximately $487 per share, AMD's stock is priced at around 30 times the consensus 2027 earnings estimate and 20.5 times the projected 2028 earnings of $23.56. Given the company's strong momentum, many analysts consider this valuation reasonable, making AMD a compelling buy ahead of potentially new all-time highs in 2027.
