AMD: Reducing Our Rating to Market Perform; Lowering Price Target to $35
* While we believe that AMD's quarter is intact, in terms of meeting our top
line and EPS numbers of $1.2B and $0.62 respectively, we believe that due to
Intel's shortfall and the fact that Intel (INTC, $48, MP) is the bellwether in
the industry and the largest supplier of MPUs, AMD's stock will continue to be
under pressure in the short term.
* Our recent channel checks within the industry show that the company is
already beginning to see an upswing in demand due to the Christmas holiday
season. We are concerned though, that if PC sales do slowdown below our
forecast of approximately 15-17%, there could be a meaningful inventory
overhang in the system where we believe Intel will try to gain more
marketshare at AMD's expense.
* We are lowering our rating on AMD from a STRONG BUY to a Market Perform and
our price target from $75 to $35 but we will revisit both our rating and our
price target once we get better clarity on the dynamics of the MPU market.
