The PC market endured double-digit declines in 2022 and 2023. The good news for AMD is that the market stabilized in 2024, witnessing a 0.8% increase in shipments, per market research firm IDC. Even better, the PC market is expected to record 4.3% growth this year, driven mainly by a 5.1% improvement in sales of commercial PCs.

For those reasons, investors should consider the $120 the “Trigger Price” for a wave of selling on AMD stock. From a long-term perspective, AMD has been in a bear market trend since December. In December the stock broke below its 20-month moving average. AMD maintains a bearish outlook with a price target of $100.

Advanced Micro Devices shares extended their recent run of declines Wednesday after a top Wall Street analyst cautioned that the chipmaker could continue to trail its peers' performance well into the new year.
