AMD: Inventory Doesn't Lie And Says Downgrade Comment (1) Summary Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is downgraded from Buy to Hold due to elevated inventory, intensified competition, and valuation expansion. AMD's inventory reached a record $8B in FQ1, outpacing receivables growth and pushing days of inventory to a five-year high of 142 days. Competition from Nvidia has driven AMD's desktop GPU market share to an all-time low, with Nvidia's inventory management and product launches outpacing AMD. AMD's P/E ratio has expanded to 66x (non-GAAP), far exceeding peers, making current valuation appear overly optimistic despite strong AI-related tailwinds. Looking for a helping hand in the market?
