Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD)‘s stock had its “hold” rating restated by Zacks in a research report issued to clients and investors on Tuesday, StockRatingsNetwork reports. They currently have a $2.75 price target on the stock.

Zacks‘ analyst wrote, “AMD is the second largest producer of microprocessors, GPUs and chipsets in the world. Its fourth quarter earnings missed estimates, impacted by macro conditions and a slow-down in the PC market. At the same time, Intel remains a strong competitor with superior strategy, technological prowess and the clout that may be expected of the market leader. While AMD may be able to carve out its own niche, its cash burn rate and significant leverage indicate that it is fast running out of time. Competition from ARM is also expected to increase. Of course, its new products, strength in graphics, advancements in 32nm manufacturing and position in China remain positives. We are reiterating our Neutral rating on AMD shares.”
