Why is AMD stock climbing on Monday?

AMD stock rose over 5% on Monday after Oppenheimer upgraded it to Outperform with a $600 price target, citing strong data center performance and AI demand. The brokerage expects data center revenue to grow 135% in 2024, driven by EPYC processors and GPU sales. AMD's Q3 revenue was $13.4B, up 45% YoY, with data center revenue nearly doubling. The company projects 66% revenue growth in Q4 and 80% in 2027, but faces supply constraints.
