$AMD(AMD.US) Breaking $300 is not a matter of position, but a matter of narrative. It has been repriced from "NVIDIA's second supplier" to "one of the two AI computing giants." AMD jumped 6% to stand at $303. +236% over the past 12 months. The numbers alone are scary, but looking at the drivers makes it more rational.

First is Meta's 6GW agreement, which is multi-year and also includes up to 160 million AMD stock performance-linked warrants—a major customer tying you down with equity. This isn't just a deal; it's a long-term relationship. Second is the cooperation with OpenAI. Third is that under Mercury Research's definition, AMD's server revenue share reached 41.3% in 2025 Q4. Although shipment share was only 28.8%, revenue share was significantly ahead, indicating AMD sells high-value products (EPYC high-end + MI series GPUs).

The only risk to note, but an important one, is that Stifel itself admits AMD's current growth bottleneck has shifted from "demand" to "supply," meaning production capacity and TSMC's advanced process scheduling. Once supply is constrained, earnings elasticity is capped.

Anyway, the long-term logic is sound, but chasing highs at $300 in the short term offers average value for money. I'll wait for new positions until after the quarterly earnings report, or consider below $280. If you already hold, just hold on.
