AMD is a hardware play, where success depends on selling more AI chips and dealing with trade risks. Meanwhile, Palantir is a software play, where growth relies on reaching more commercial customers while keeping execution strong. With both stocks up so far this year, investors want to know which one Wall Street believes can climb higher.<\/p>\n

Advanced Micro Extends AI Push<\/p>\n

AMD stock has climbed about 36% in 2025<\/a>, riding strong optimism around its AI GPU roadmap. The company recently deepened its AI infrastructure play, announcing a deal with IBM<\/a> (IBM)<\/a> and Zyphra to roll out a large cluster of its Instinct MI300X GPUs on IBM Cloud \u2014 the first big use of AMD\u2019s full AI training platform. Around the same time, AMD also signed a deal with Tech Mahindra to bring its chips into hybrid cloud and AI services for industries such as telecom, finance, and healthcare.<\/p>\n

On the earnings front, AMD posted mixed results for Q2 FY2025<\/a>. Revenue rose 32% year-over-year, and the company gave upbeat guidance for Q3 sales, which pleased investors. However, earnings per share were only in line with forecasts.<\/p>\n

Overall, Wall Street is cautiously optimistic on Advanced Micro Devices stock, with a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 21 Buys and 13 Holds. The average\u00a0AMD stock price target<\/a>\u00a0of $187.73 indicates 14% upside potential from current levels. Analysts highlight AMD\u2019s growing share in AI and server chips as a clear strength, but they also note that trade tensions and tough competition in the semiconductor<\/a> market remain risks that could limit further gains.<\/p>\n

Palantir Surges on AI Demand<\/p>\n

PLTR stock has surged 129% in 2025, lifted by strong demand for its AI tools. The company still relies on defense and intelligence deals but has also moved into healthcare, energy, and finance. In September, Palantir won a new contract with the U.K. government to expand military use of AI, adding to its defense work. Even so, the stock has come under pressure after an internal U.S. Army memo called its joint battlefield system project<\/a> with Anduril \u201cvery high risk\u201d due to security flaws. Palantir\u2019s high valuation has also made some investors cautious despite the company\u2019s strong growth.<\/p>\n

On the earnings front, the data analytics company beat Wall Street\u2019s expectations in Q2<\/a>, with revenue up 48% year-over-year to over $1 billion for the first time. The company also raised its full-year 2025 revenue outlook to between $4.142 billion and $4.150 billion, reflecting robust growth across both government and commercial businesses.<\/p>\n

Overall, Wall Street has a Hold consensus rating on Palantir Technologies stock based on five Buys, 13 Holds, and two Sell ratings. The average\u00a0PLTR stock price target<\/a>\u00a0of $157.33 indicates a possible downside of about 9.09% from current levels.<\/p>\n
