Why Are Investors Interested in AMD Stock?

In this series, we’ve learned that Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has strong growth prospects, but its poor financial health makes it a risky bet because it doesn’t have the capability to withstand a downturn without reporting losses. Hence, AMD has been a favorite of options traders and short-term investors looking to see quick capital gains from the stock’s volatility. Over the last year, AMD stock has underperformed the S&P 500 Index (SPY) and its peers.
