AMD Stock Is a Fraction of Nvidia's Size but Trades on the Same AI Story. Here's Where the Two Actually Diverge.
Yahoo Finance ·
Over the last few years, Nvidia ( NVDA 1.97% ) and Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD 0.66% ) have traded higher, primarily due to successes in the AI accelerator market. Over that time, Nvidia has dramatically outperformed AMD as it pioneered this market, while AMD has worked to close that gap. Nonetheless, that stronger performance goes well beyond the AI accelerator industry. It also relates closely to the surprising differences between the two companies, and that divergence may also explain the differing value propositions between the two semiconductor stocks . Admittedly, many of the differences relate to recent changes at Nvidia. As recently as four years ago, when it reported its numbers for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 (ended May 1, 2022), Nvidia was a more diverse company. At that time, its data center segment, which now designs AI accelerators, had just become the company's largest business segment. The other large segment was gaming, which had traditionally been Nvidia's strength due to its specialty in producing GPUs. Professional visualization and its automotive and robotics segment were also smaller but significant parts of the business.
AI 시장 분석
Recently, both NVDA and AMD have shown upward trends in the AI accelerator market, but NVDA has widened the gap by achieving overwhelming results through the first-mover advantage. While NVDA previously had a diversified business structure including gaming, data centers, and automotive, it has now reorganized into a single, high-growth structure centered on AI accelerators. Investors need to clearly understand the differences in business models and conduct fundamental analysis for each company beyond merely riding the AI theme.
상승 영향
- Semiconductors — As demand for AI accelerators continues to rise, both NVDA and AMD have entered a structural growth phase. Specifically, the expansion of data center infrastructure investment is expected to drive revenues for both companies due to the market's need for high-performance GPUs.
하락 영향
- Semiconductors — AMD is facing difficulties in improving profitability due to the strong software ecosystem and first-mover advantage built by NVDA. If the gap in the AI market becomes entrenched, there is a risk that AMD's relative undervaluation could persist.
DYAX 전담 분석
NVDA's dominance is reinforced by its comprehensive ecosystem, making it the primary beneficiary of surging AI investment.
Conversely, AMD is struggling to catch up, highlighting the importance of software moats in the semiconductor hardware sector.
