The Radeon RX 9060 XT comes in two variants: an 8GB model priced at $300 and a 16GB model for $350. The card also offers comparable performance to Nvidia's (NVDA) RTX 5060 Ti GPU, which is priced at $379 for the 8GB model and $429 for the 16GB model.
The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT offers gamers a budget option for 1080p and 1440p gaming, and it does so for significantly less cash than what's required for Nvidia's comparable GPU. AMD also has a track record of keeping its graphics cards in stock, whereas Nvidia has had trouble doing so due to demand for its AI GPUs pulling resources away from its gaming division.
Analysts have remained bullish on AMD stock lately, with two updates earlier this week.
Five-star Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated a Buy rating and $130 price target, implying a 9.36% upside.
TD Cowen analyst Joshua Buchalter maintained a Buy rating and $115 price target, suggesting a 3.26% downside.
AMD stock was up 0.16% as of Thursday morning but is still down 1.66% year-to-date. The company's shares have also fallen 28.9% over the past 12 months. This likely isn't the performance investors hoped for today, but positive reviews of the Radeon RX 9060 XT could be a catalyst for AMD if they translate to sales.
Is AMD Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Turning to Wall Street, the analysts' consensus rating for AMD is Moderate Buy, based on 22 Buy and 10 Hold ratings over the past three months. With that comes an average AMD stock price target of $126.55, representing a potential 6.61% upside for the shares.

Google's (GOOG) $32B Wiz Acquisition Faces DOJ Antitrust Hurdle
Alphabet's (GOOG) (GOOGL) $32 billion acquisition of cloud security startup Wiz is under antitrust review by the U.S. Department of Justice. The investigation is still in early stages, but it signals that regulators are taking a close look at how big tech companies are expanding into new markets. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Wiz provides tools to detect and block cybersecurity threats across cloud environments. The company collaborates with major platforms, including Amazon Web Services (AMZN), Microsoft Azure (MSFT), and Oracle (ORCL). Google says the deal will boost its cloud security offerings, an area where it's still trailing top competitors. Deal or No Deal? The DOJ's concern is whether this move could limit competition. Google already bought Mandiant for $5.4 billion in 2022. That deal went through, but the Wiz deal is much larger and comes at a time when the DOJ is more aggressive on tech mergers. The risk is that Google could start bundling key security features into its own cloud stack, potentially locking out competitors. Regulators are already pushing back on Alphabet's dominance in online search and advertising. In two recent court rulings, judges found that the company operated illegal monopolies in both areas. The company now faces the threat of forced divestitures, including parts of its ad tech business and the Chrome browser. This adds pressure to the Wiz deal. If blocked, Wiz stands to collect a $3.2 billion breakup fee, or 10% of the deal value. That size indicates the level of regulatory risk and how strongly Google wants to close. The outcome could shape the future of tech M&A. If regulators succeed in stopping one of the largest cybersecurity deals ever, it may raise the bar for any future acquisitions by Alphabet, Amazon, or Microsoft. Procedure Could Take Months Under the Biden administration, regulators took a hard stance on mergers and monopolies. The FTC, led by Lina Khan, became known for aggressively challenging big tech deals. That changed after President Trump returned to office and removed Khan earlier this year. Many expected a slowdown in antitrust enforcement. The DOJ's decision to probe the Wiz deal defies those expectations, signaling that cloud-related consolidation may still draw scrutiny. Investors should closely monitor the development of this case. A green light could boost confidence in Google Cloud's expansion strategy. A block could trigger more scrutiny on other big tech players trying to grow by acquisition, not just innovation. The deal is expected to face months of review. Whether it closes or not may hinge less on market logic and more on how Washington defines fair competition in the cloud era. Is GOOG a Strong Buy? an average GOOG stock price target of $200.46. This implies a 13.98% upside.
