How The Market Reacted To The News
As investors, we know that the news moves the market. Any time there is positive news with regard to a publicly traded company, we can expect to see gains in the value of the company's stock. Adversely, negative news will generally cause declines. However, there are few pieces of news that have the potential cause movement in the market quite like product releases. Ultimately, AMD investors know that new products mean upgrades for those that already use AMD hardware, and more opportunities with those that don't. This has the potential to drive massive amounts of revenue and profit. As a result, the stock is climbing in the market today. Currently (11:17), AMD is trading at $2.29 per share after a gain of $0.11 or 4.82% thus far today.
What We Can Expect From AMD Moving Forward
Moving forward, I have a relatively bullish opinion of what we can expect to see from AMD. The reality is that the new product release is likely to drive massive amounts of revenue, making earnings look great and generating investor excitement. Not to mention, investors and analysts alike were already excited about the stock before the company revealed the new products. It is expected that AMD will more than double in price to $5 per share over the next year or so. The bottom line is that AMD has a line of great products, a great team, and a clear plan for success. Between these factors, the company has the recipe to make big things happen. All in all, things are looking great for AMD.
