Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) shares are trading higher Monday after a volatile week in semiconductor stocks.

What To Know: Cathie Wood's Ark Invest purchased a total of about about $2.8 million worth of AMD shares late last week, despite recent headwinds tied to U.S. export restrictions on AI chips. The company previously flagged revenue impacts and an inventory charge linked to these limitations.

The stock also benefited from momentum in the chip sector following stronger-than-expected earnings from Meta and Microsoft. Both companies reported solid revenue growth, which boosted expectations for continued demand in AI-related infrastructure. As key suppliers to these tech firms, chipmakers including AMD saw gains despite lingering policy and supply risks.

Is AMD A Good Stock To Buy?

An investor or trader's decision to buy or sell a stock is unique to their time horizon and risk tolerance. Many typical investors evaluate earnings growth and valuation on a particular stock before making a decision.

For example, for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), you'll notice that earnings in its last quarter grew 0.93% source. As an investor, you'll want to decide whether that's better or worse than what you'd like to see among stocks in your portfolio.

On the valuation side, Advanced Micro Devices's price to earnings ratio – a measure of how much an investor pays for the company's earnings – is projected to compress 90.73% in the current quarter when compared with last year. That places it below similar businesses NVIDIA, Broadcom, Taiwan Semiconductor in its sector. You'll need to decide whether that makes it more or less attractive based on how you think the company will perform over time.
