Four out of the 39 analysts now rate AMD a strong buy, down from six analysts a month ago. Compared to three months ago, fewer analysts are rating this company as a strong buy. Shareholders have not been rewarded for their patience. Shares have fallen 32.6% in the last year, and the average analyst target price for AMD is $4.65.

Short interest with AMD is remarkably high. More than one in five shares is short. Shorts are the smart money, but when they pile on this hard it can backfire, too. The proportion of the float short is 23.8%. Highly shorted, low-priced stocks make for thrilling short squeezes. AMD Revenue Quarterly data by YCharts
