AMD ranked among the top ten tickers by Reddit score on June 25, driven by a strong bullish thesis post.
Retail investors focused on AMD's diversification across AI accelerators, server CPUs, client PCs, and embedded chips, not just GPUs.
Discussion also compared AMD's valuation to Micron's, with some questioning why AMD's forward P/E is significantly higher.
Bullish Thesis Gains Traction
AMD's discussion on r/wallstreetbets was dominated by a highly upvoted post arguing that the company is undervalued. The author countered the common narrative that AMD is merely the number-two GPU maker, pointing to its growing AI accelerator business with the MI350 ramp and upcoming MI400 platform, as well as its EPYC server CPU segment, client PCs, gaming, and embedded chip businesses. The post praised CEO Lisa Su's track record and emphasized that compute demand from AI, cloud, enterprise, automotive, and edge computing will keep AMD positioned across multiple growth areas.
Valuation Questions Emerge
Another thread on r/wallstreetbets questioned why AMD's forward P/E sits around 50 while Micron's is near 10, despite both benefiting from the AI boom and Micron having higher revenue and margins. The discussion reflected a split in retail sentiment: while the bullish thesis resonated, some investors remain cautious on valuation.
Sentiment: 72% bullish, 18% bearish, 10% neutral.

Competitive Landscape in Focus
AMD was also mentioned in the context of Qualcomm's investor day, where Qualcomm raised its 2029 non-handset revenue target to $40 billion, including $15 billion from AI data center sales. That news, which sent Qualcomm up more than 12% pre-market, underscored that AMD is not the only challenger to Nvidia in the data center — but it also reinforced the market's focus on AI chip competition.
Broader Retail Sentiment
Across r/smallstreetbets, AMD-related posts carried a notably positive sentiment score of 0.72, with 87 posts generating over 1,000 upvotes and 679 comments. That bullish tilt suggests retail investors are increasingly buying into the idea that AMD's story extends well beyond GPUs — and that it has room to run even as competition heats up.
