AMD Rises on Intel Weakness and Ryzen 7 9850X3D Launch

AMD stock closed at $259.68, up 2.35%, following strong investor sentiment driven by the announcement of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D consumer CPU and a recent analyst upgrade.

• The positive movement was supported by KeyBanc's upgrade to Overweight on January 13, building on existing AI momentum.
• The rally was partially fueled by a shift in investor focus away from Intel due to their cautious Q1 guidance and supply shortages.
• Investors are looking ahead to the Q4 2025 earnings report, scheduled for February 3.
