Evercore Sees Major Revenue Upside for AMD after Trump Lifts China AI Chip Ban
Investment firm Evercore believes that chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) could see upside to its 2025 revenue estimates after the company announced it will resume shipments of its MI308X chips to China. Indeed, the U.S. Commerce Department has confirmed that AMD's license applications for these chips are now moving forward for review. Once approved, AMD plans to restart shipments and provide more details during its August 5 earnings call, according to Evercore.

As a result, the firm's analysts, led by five-star-rated Mark Lipacis, anticipate that this will result in a near-term revenue boost of $700 million and a potential $1.5 billion gain in 2025. This is because AMD had previously estimated that export restrictions would lower second-quarter revenue by about $700 million and reduce 2025 revenue by $1.5 billion. It is worth mentioning that Evercore currently expects AMD's GPU revenue for 2025 to be around $6 billion, so restoring access to the Chinese market could be a major help. The analysts also noted that this could improve AMD's profit margins. In April, AMD projected an $800 million write-down due to unsold inventory and supplier agreements, which pushed Q2 gross margin guidance down to 43% from 54%. While it's unclear if the full write-down was booked in Q2, Evercore believes that the MI308X has better margins than AMD's other GPUs. Therefore, if shipments pick up again, it could provide a solid boost to the company's profitability. Is AMD a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Overall, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on AMD stock based on 25 Buys, 10 Holds, and zero Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average AMD price target of $135.97 per share implies 12.6% downside risk.

‘Buy the Dip Now,' Says Five-Star Analyst after ASML Stock Sinks
Shares of ASML Holding (ASML) are plunging in today's trading after the semiconductor company released its second-quarter results and gave a cautious outlook. However, Evercore ISI, led by five-star analyst Mark Lipacis, sees this as a buying opportunity. Despite the short-term weakness, Evercore kept its Outperform rating and €803 price target on the firm's European ticker (NL:ASML). Lipacis pointed out that ASML's valuation has already dropped significantly, as its price-to-earnings ratio has compressed by about 35-40% over the past nine months.

Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. As a result, he believes that this decline already reflects negative news, therefore making the current dip a good entry point. He also noted that demand for AI-related chips continues to grow, especially in foundry logic and DRAM, which should help support ASML's long-term growth story. While ASML beat both revenue and earnings expectations for Q2, its forecast for the next quarter came in below what analysts were expecting. Indeed, the company projected Q3 revenue between €7.4 billion and €7.9 billion, which missed market estimates of €8.3 billion. It is also worth noting that Lipacis admitted that ASML's gross margins could decline in the second half of 2025. This is due to how revenue is recognized from its High Numerical Aperture (High NA) technology, as well as a lower mix of high-margin upgrade sales. Still, Evercore believes ASML is on track to hit its 2025 goals and is confident in its long-term potential. Is ASML Stock a Good Buy? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on ASML stock based on two Buys, five Holds, and zero Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average ASML price target of $877.75 per share implies 17.3% upside potential.

Marvell Stock Jumps After Unveiling Multi-Billion AI Chip Deals

Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with MRVL. The chipmaker revealed two new compute-focused XPU projects from hyperscale clients, with additional attach design wins bringing the total to 13, including one with Meta (NASDAQ:META). Evercore ISI's Mark Lipacis called these multi-billion-dollar lifetime revenue opportunities, potentially ramping up between 2026 and 2027.

Analysts said Marvell's expanding AI chip pipeline, including ongoing work with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) on its Maia processor and integration with Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Trainium3, reinforces its position in the competitive AI infrastructure space.
