1. Projected Multi-Year Revenue and Stock Upside

AMD’s management has outlined an ambitious blueprint calling for a 60% compound annual growth rate in its data center segment through 2030, complemented by an overall revenue CAGR of 35% over the same period. Based on those assumptions, the company’s stock could rise by 348%, potentially approaching four digits per share.
