Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

By

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We raise our 12-month target to $600 from $500, on a P/E of about 35x our 2028 EPS estimate, which is above its peers but below its historical forward averages. We see AMD closing the competitive gap with NVIDIA as it launches the MI450x Series in the second half of 2026, as it prepares to shift to rack-scale solutions, which offer data center server sales upside. We are also growing more optimistic about opportunities tied to CPU server demand, as we believe the rise of agentic AI shifts CPU-to-GPU ratios from traditional 1:4 or 1:8 in training toward 1:1 or higher in production deployments. Extending lead times and emerging industry-wide CPU shortage should support higher prices, and we see potential for 50%+ x86 server CPU market share over time. AMD's shift to large-scale rack-scale systems remains the biggest opportunity for the company in the coming years. Furthermore, we are encouraged by recent customer orders (Meta and Oracle), as we see a long tail opportunity over the next three to five years.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Qualcomm

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price to $300 from $220, on P/E of about 24x our CY 28 EPS estimate of $12.50, above peers and historical averages to reflect emerging growth opportunities and diversification. We keep our FY 26 EPS at $10.67 and FY 27's at $10.75. We start FY 28 at $12.15. Our positive outlook reflects several factors that we believe are underappreciated by the market at current valuation levels. We see QCOM successfully executing its diversification strategy with tangible momentum in automotive, IoT, and the emerging data center opportunity, reducing reliance on the cyclical handset market and mitigating risks from the Apple modem transition. The near-term handset weakness led by memory supply constraints appears transitory and supply-driven rather than demand-driven, with a trough seen in Android markets during the Jun-Q. QCOM's entry into data center custom silicon also represents a material new revenue stream with favorable economics, validated by a multi-generation hyperscaler engagement.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month target price by USD6 to USD141, 17.3x our FY 27 (Oct.) EPS view of CAD11.28 (USD8.17), a premium to the bank's five-year forward P/E average of 9.9x to reflect CM's strong capital position, decreased office exposure in the U.S., as well as momentum in wealth management and capital markets. We raise our FY 26 EPS to CAD10.46 from CAD10.06 and increase FY 27's to CAD11.28 from CAD10.70. CM is performing well, with improving operational efficiency and strong balance sheet growth expected to drive record earnings in both FY 26 and FY 27. We view the bank's recent strategic decisions positively: CM is divesting its 92% stake in CIBC Caribbean for USD1.6 billion and has agreed to acquire a minority stake in Ann Partners, a U.S. private wealth management firm with USD54 billion in assets under management. This strategic shift makes sense as U.S. wealth management offers attractive, stable returns, while Caribbean operations carry higher currency and economic risks. Shares yield 2.9%.
