<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intel" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. chipmaker</a> Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) stock is trading lower on Tuesday. Based on his industry survey, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo noted that Intel has postponed the mass production timeline for Panther Lake (PTL) from early September 2025 to the <a target="_blank" href="https://mingchikuo.craft.me/GAKSO6HqHWEKbe" rel="noreferrer noopener">mid-fourth quarter of 2025</a>.
Given the typical 2-4 week gap between chip and finished product shipments, PTL notebooks may not become widely available until 2026.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44087877/intel-stock-surges-as-nvidia-broadcom-test-18a-chips-amd-shows-interest" rel="noreferrer noopener">Intel Gains Traction With 18A Process As Nvidia, Broadcom Consider Manufacturing Contracts</a>
This implies that Intel will miss the crucial year-end holiday sales season in 2025, and second-half 2025 revenue and profit will face downside risks.
While Intel has only publicly stated that PTL is scheduled for mass production in the second half of 2025 (keeping this delay within their communicated timeline), such a decision would not be made without significant production issues. This delay will impact Intel&#8217;s second-half 2025 revenue, profits, and, most importantly, organizational morale and supply chain trust.
Defect density is just one factor affecting chip yield and mass production capability. The shipment schedules of PC/NB brands, ODMs, and EMS providers serve as critical indicators for assessing the production status of Intel&#8217;s 18A process.
Based on Ming-Chi Kuo&#8217;s survey of Intel&#8217;s advanced-node consumable shipments, third-quarter 2025 figures show no significant changes from current levels, which could support the delay of Intel PTL.
In the second half of 2025, Intel will primarily rely on Arrow Lake (ARL) to compete against&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and&nbsp;Qualcomm Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>). With ARL offering less than 40 TOPs and brands showing limited enthusiasm for Lunar Lake (LNL), Intel appears disadvantaged in the second-half 2025 AI PC competition.
More aggressive brands have planned to adopt the limited Qualification Sample (QS) PTL chips expected in late September for specific high-end models to gain a time-to-market advantage. However, given the limited QS shipments, Intel will benefit minimally.
Until Intel successfully ships its chips manufactured on the 18A, it will struggle to gain the trust of external IC design customers and secure their substantial resource investments for 18A chip development collaboration.
Price Action: INTC stock closed lower by 6.20% to $21.36 on Tuesday.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Super Micro Computer took the crown in February as the most-searched ticker on <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent030425&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a>, narrowly edging out Nvidia.
The list of the most-searched tickers in February looked significantly different, with only five of the top 10 coming from the list of the most-searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in 2024.
Super Micro Computer, Nvidia, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust and Tesla all ranked in the top five, where they also ranked throughout 2024.
Palantir, which ranked 7th in 2024, moved to 5th place in February.
Four of the top 10 stocks from 2024 dropped to the 11th through 20th range, including Advanced Micro Devices, Amazon, Apple and the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF.
GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) was the lone top 10 stock to drop out of the top 20 after ranking 10th in 2024. Other stocks that ranked in the top 20 and fell out of the top 20 include Meta Platforms, MARA Holdings, Trump Media &amp; Technology, Microsoft, SoundHound AI, Boeing, Micron and Strategy.
The top 10 list included several new names, including BibBear.AI and Rigetti, which fit the themes of AI and quantum computing that have been popular with investors in recent years. Hims &amp; Hers made the top 10 in February, which came as the company saw a surging stock price and also showed off its first-ever <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43598736/super-bowl-commercials-2025-complete-list-of-super-bowl-lix-ads-and-companies-behind-them">Super Bowl commercial.</a>
Time will tell if many of the names remain on the list for the month of March or if new sectors and themes gain the attention of Benzinga Pro users.

Shares of chip stocks are trading higher, reversing after earlier weakness as investors assess US tariffs.

A high-stakes deal that could have reshaped global supply chains has crumbled. The negotiations between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were meant to secure a partnership granting the US priority access to Ukraine's vast reserves of critical minerals &#8211; resources vital for military technology, electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced electronics. 
However, the talks unraveled over security concerns and shifting priorities, leaving both nations scrambling for alternatives. Now, the fallout is poised to send ripples through markets, affecting stocks and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs linked to these key industries</a>. Investors should closely monitor the funds and equities most exposed to this disruption.

ETFs In The Spotlight
With the deal off the table, ETFs tracking rare earth minerals, defense and EV industries could see increased volatility:
VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REMX#NYSE">REMX</a>): Holds stocks involved in rare earth mining and processing, sectors now facing renewed uncertainty. Pilbara Minerals Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AU#NYSE">AU</a>) and Arcadium Lithium Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALTM#NYSE">ALTM</a>) are among its top holdings.
Global X Lithium &amp; Battery Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIT#NYSE">LIT</a>): Focuses on lithium and battery-related companies, which depend on stable mineral supplies. The fund has allocated its assets to companies like Mineral Resources, Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Albemarle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALB#NYSE">ALB</a>).
iShares US Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>): Tracks major defense contractors like Raytheon Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), that may face cost pressures due to supply chain disruptions. 
What Was At Stake?
The abandoned agreement would have given the US <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43968607/trump-negotiates-a-very-big-deal-for-ukraines-mineral-wealth">priority access to Ukraine's reserves of critical minerals</a> essential for military technology, EVs and advanced electronics. In return, Ukraine expected a financial boost, with 50% of state-owned mineral revenues going into an investment fund for economic recovery. However, without US security guarantees, Ukraine hesitated to finalize the deal, ultimately leading to its collapse.
With no agreement in place, both the US and Ukraine face economic and strategic setbacks. The US remains reliant on China for rare earth processing, while Ukraine may now seek alternative partnerships—potentially with China or European nations.

US Defense And Tech Stocks
The US defense and tech industries are major consumers of rare earth minerals. Companies like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon Technologies rely on these materials for advanced weaponry and aerospace systems. The lack of a stable mineral supply chain outside China could make sourcing components more expensive, potentially affecting these stocks.
Semiconductor giants like NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) could also see cost pressures, as rare earth elements are crucial for chip production. If US companies must continue depending on China for processing, it could impact supply chain stability and pricing.
Lithium and rare earth mining companies like MP Materials (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>), which processes rare earths domestically, might see increased interest as the US looks to expand its refining capabilities.
What's Next?
With the US unable to secure a direct supply of Ukrainian minerals for now, Washington may have to fast-track domestic refining projects or seek alternative deals. Meanwhile, Ukraine might turn to European nations or even China to fill the gap. For now, investors should brace for potential market fluctuations in defense, tech and EV sectors.

Shares of companies in the semiconductor industry are trading lower amid overall market uncertainty after President Trump confirmed Mar 4 tariffs.

Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) shares are trading higher Monday following reports suggesting NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) are performing manufacturing tests <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44070969/former-intel-ceo-craig-barrett-warns-that-splitting-the-company-would-be-a-costly-mistake-a-far-better-move-might-be-to-fire-the-intel-board-and-rehire-pat-gelsinger">with the company</a>.
What To Know: Chip designers Nvidia and Broadcom have been doing manufacturing testing with Intel&#8217;s 18A manufacturing process, suggesting the chipmaker could be in the running for manufacturing contracts, per Reuters.
Sources familiar with the matter reportedly said the pair of tests indicate the companies are getting closer to making a decision on manufacturing. Intel has not yet announced a prominent chip designer customer, so any announcement involving Nvidia or Broadcom could be huge for Intel. Intel shares surged in early trading before pulling back. The stock was last up about 1%.
The report indicates that Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) is also evaluating whether Intel&#8217;s manufacturing process will be the best path forward. It&#8217;s not clear if AMD has engaged in any testing with Intel to date.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t comment on specific customers but continue to see strong interest and engagement on Intel 18A across our ecosystem,&#8221; an Intel spokesperson reportedly said.
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44070969/former-intel-ceo-craig-barrett-warns-that-splitting-the-company-would-be-a-costly-mistake-a-far-better-move-might-be-to-fire-the-intel-board-and-rehire-pat-gelsinger">&#8216;Fire The Intel Board,&#8217; Says Former CEO Craig Barrett As He Pushes Back On Breakup Plans, Urges Focus On Chipmaking Wins</a>
Intel&#8217;s 18A manufacturing process is capable of producing advanced AI processors and complex chips. Testing can take months to complete. The report indicates that it&#8217;s not clear when the tests began.
Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger announced his retirement in December after reportedly being forced out by the board. Intel shares are up nearly 20% year-to-date on hopes the company could lean into more aggressive strategy changes under new leadership.
INTC Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/intc">Intel shares</a> initially surged above the $25 level in early trading before pulling back. The stock was up 0.65% at $23.90 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

What's Going On With Intel Stock Monday?

According to a Reuters report, Nvidia&nbsp;Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&nbsp;and Broadcom&nbsp;Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intel" rel="noreferrer noopener">running manufacturing tests</a> with Intel Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) 18A process, signifying potential upside for the U.S. struggling chipmaker.
Intel&#8217;s 18A process can make advanced artificial intelligence processors and other complex chips and competes with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) technology, which dominates the global chip market, Reuters cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter. Intel stock gained Monday after the report.

The tests reflect the companies&#8217; exploration of plans to commit hundreds of millions of dollars worth of manufacturing contracts to Intel.
Apparently, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)&nbsp;is also considering using Intel&#8217;s 18A manufacturing process for its needs.
An Intel spokesperson told Reuters that Intel enjoyed higher interest and engagement on Intel 18A.
Intel&#8217;s struggling business has attracted the attention of the U.S. administration. The Donald Trump administration recently met with Taiwan Semiconductor chief C.C. Wei and discussed the Taiwanese contract chipmaker&#8217;s acquisition of a majority stake in a joint venture in Intel&#8217;s factory unit.
Meanwhile, Intel said it bagged deals with Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)&nbsp;and Amazon.com&nbsp;Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)&nbsp;to produce chips on 18A.
Intel stock plunged 48% in the last 12 months as it failed to capitalize on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42344006/intel-interim-co-chief-expects-ceo-to-have-foundry-experience-stands-by-forecast" rel="noreferrer noopener">the AI frenzy</a>, which cost its CEO Pat Gelsinger positions.
The chipmaker had named CFO David Zinsner and general manager of Intel&#8217;s Client Computing Group Michelle Johnston Holthaus&nbsp;as interim co-CEOs&nbsp;while the board hunted for a new CEO.
Price Action: INTC stock is up 0.55% at $23.86 at the last check on Monday.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of March 3, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
This week, global markets experienced significant volatility due to escalating trade tensions and disappointing tech earnings. President Trump's announcement of impending tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China led to a broad selloff in equities, with the S&amp;P 500 erasing its gains for the year.
Technology stocks were notably impacted; Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares fell sharply after underwhelming earnings, contributing to a broader decline in the semiconductor sector. Cryptocurrency markets also suffered, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dropping below $80,000 amid the heightened market uncertainty.
In the fintech sector, Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>) led a selloff after reporting mixed fourth-quarter results, causing its stock to plunge 18% — the most significant single-day drop since March 2020. Despite the downturn, some analysts view the current valuation as an attractive entry point, anticipating growth in the company's Square and Cash App segments.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Joby Aviation, Nvidia, Tesla — And Bitcoin Drops Below $80,000

After a dream run-up in share prices over the last several years, 2025 has been a rough ride for the semiconductor sector, with big brand names like Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Taiwan Semiconductor all in red numbers this year.
"When we look at the semiconductor space right now, we&#8217;ve seen the industry began to recover pretty strongly last year, but a lot of that growth, that recovery was very uneven," said Mario Morales, group vice president of enabling technologies and semiconductors at IDC in San Francisco.
Here&#8217;s why &#8211; and why the bull market in chip stocks may be over, for now.
Additionally, the larger industry names are grappling with supply chain snarls, geopolitical chess games, and the relentless pace of technological evolution. "Meanwhile, the race for AI supremacy has turned into more of an arms race, with companies scrambling to outdo each other in the quest for faster, more efficient chips," said Lars Nyman, chief marketing officer of Portugal-based CUDO Compute. "Production costs soar, and the demand for chips seems to skyrocket like a meme stock. Yes, the thirst for more advanced nodes continues unabated, but foundries are pushing full throttle just to stay afloat."
The above issues can and have negatively impacted semiconductor stocks of late, but industry c-suite types at least expected those headaches. But other threatening, and mostly unexpecting, threats have loomed large in early 2025 and have taken a swipe at sector share values.
These three semiconductor threats lead that list:
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The dismantling of the CHIPS and Science Act</h2>
The Biden administration shepherded the CHIPS Act to a successful package and managed to get funds flowing to the chip sector, but the billions of dollars still on the table will likely be clawed back.
"When President Biden was leaving, you saw his administration push a lot of the CHIPS Act funds as quickly as they could because there was a lot of concern that the new administration would either slow it down or cancel it completely," Morales said. "So, companies like Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) received a billion dollars in December and another, just over another billion dollars in January to map to the 7.8 billion that was earmarked for them."
Now, the US semiconductor industry, the primary beneficiaries of the CHIPS Act, is starting to see the Trump administration cutting back on National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) employees, and that's stopped the flow of CHIPS funds to a trickle. "The NIST employees were vetting, managing, and issuing the funds to the companies that have already been awarded, and we&#8217;re starting to see some of that being dismantled now," Morales noted.
Another key CHIPS Act issue may even loom larger for semiconductor firms, as the Act's bylaws extended far beyond direct funding.
"People tend to look at the amount of money that&#8217;s been issued by the government, and they only see that," Morales said. "They don&#8217;t see the bigger investment profile, which is the fact that once these companies started working with the CHIPS Act, they also started getting tax incentives."
Those tax incentives are 25% on any type of manufacturing that semiconductor-related companies produce and deliver in the US. "These tax incentives were even more successful," Morales added "They drove over $200 billion worth of commitments by the semiconductor ecosystem as a whole."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The DeepSeek saga</h2>
China-based AI company DeepSeek threw the semiconductor industry – and the stock market – into panic mode with its January claim that company engineers had figured out how to produce stellar AI software models at a deeply discounted price. That news sidelined bigger name chip stocks for a week and left many more investors wondering if the Nvidia's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) of the world would take a big financial hit.
"DeepSeek put a dent in maybe the greatest AI success story of the last few years – especially Nvidia, which makes specialized semiconductor chips for AI inference and training," said Gimme Credit's Senior bond analyst Saurav Sen in an email to Benzinga.
Nvidia's seemingly insurmountable moat was challenged, perhaps ironically, as DeepSeek used Nvidia's older chips to train its models to be good enough not to need the latest-and-greatest Nvidia chips, Sen reported.
"The market ignored the irony by sending Nvidia's stock down about 20%, although it has recovered partially in the last month," he said. "The rough thesis was that everyone would emulate DeepSeek's efficient models, thereby reducing the need for advanced Nvidia GPUs and deflating Nvidia's baked-in and often lofty growth projections."
Other technology industry experts say that lower-cost AI solutions could pressure players like Nvidia. "However, at this point, the nature and design of those chips used by DeepSeek is not completely certain," said&nbsp; Dave Novosol, senior analyst at Gimme Credit. "Therefore, the extent of any competitive advantage versus Nvidia cannot be determined. Moreover, as the use of AI broadens and deepens, the chips produced by Nvidia may be necessary to meet the demands of future model builders."
The short-term impact on Nvidia is expected to be minimal because the dynamics of the AI arms race remain unchanged.
"Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) still believe more compute equals better models, that they will just be able to build better models than they originally projected with their planned hardware purchases," said Dev Nag, CEO/Founder at QueryPal, a former co-founder at Wavefront, and a former senior engineer at Google.
Nag said the tech sector is seeing a recalibration of expectations rather than a fundamental reduction in short-term demand. "Big tech understands that DeepSeek-style optimizations work multiplicatively with hardware advances, not as substitutes," he noted. "Architectural efficiency creates more value per GPU, but doesn&#8217;t diminish the incentive to buy more GPUs."
However, the longer-term picture gets murkier for Nvidia.&nbsp;
"If a small team can achieve breakthroughs while working with export-restricted chips, it suggests Nvidia&#8217;s moat might be more vulnerable than previously thought," Nag said. "Companies like AMD (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Intel, and various AI ASIC startups will seize on these efficiency techniques to challenge Nvidia&#8217;s dominance."
The real threat to Nvidia isn&#8217;t that people will buy fewer chips overall but that customers might increasingly buy those chips from competitors with stronger price-performance ratios. "This gives potential Nvidia competitors renewed hope; they don&#8217;t need to match Nvidia&#8217;s raw performance to be viable alternatives if they can offer better price-performance through DeepSeek-style architectural innovations and software optimizations."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tough Tariffs</h2>
New tariff policies targeting foreign semiconductor manufacturers, particularly those in China, are intended to drive reshoring efforts but also bring potential problems to the table.
"Tariffs also introduce risks such as higher production costs, supply chain disruptions, and potential retaliatory trade measures," said Kaveh Vahdat, founder and president of RiseOpp, a fractional CMO and SEO firm based in San Francisco. "For U.S.-based semiconductor firms, tariffs could create pricing pressures on raw materials and manufacturing equipment. For investors, key considerations include how companies can absorb increased costs or pass them on to customers without affecting demand."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway on Semiconductor Sector Challenges</h2>
It's not just public policy and competition that vex semiconductor c-suites – structural changes are also challenging industry firms.
"Industry companies are also facing supply chain realignment," Vahdat said. "Companies are diversifying supply chains to reduce reliance on China, shifting production to Southeast Asia and India. This transition carries execution risks, cost implications, and time delays."
Talent shortages are also hindering sector performance. "The industry is facing a shortage of skilled labor, particularly in semiconductor fabrication and chip design," Vahdat added. "Workforce development will be a key determinant of manufacturing capacity."
Fundamental capital intensity issues add further uncertainty to the mix. "Expanding semiconductor production requires significant investment," Vahdat noted. "Companies must balance high upfront costs with uncertain demand cycles, especially amid potential economic slowdowns."
Semiconductor investors will have to balance the upside in AI, cloud computing, and data centers, among other sector home runs, with a growing number of challenges holding the semiconductor back.
Until those challenges are met head-on, sector share growth will likely continue to be muted, making 2025 a fascinating and complex year for the semiconductor industry and its army of increasingly nervous investors.

Shares of semiconductor companies are trading lower in sympathy with Nvidia, which reversed amid a possible selloff after reporting Q4 financial results.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) is taking a beating in 2025. The stock slid to a new 52-week low of $102.17 by 11 AM on Thursday.
AMD stock has plummeted 42.44% over the past year, down 15.06% year to date. It slipped another 2.17% on Feb. 27 as Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) blockbuster earnings reinforced its dominance in the AI chip race.
While AMD's data center business is growing, the stock's technical setup suggests the pain may not be over yet.

AMD's share price is trading below its five-day, 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages, signaling strong selling pressure. The eight-day simple moving average (SMA) at $109.21 and the 20-day at $111.51 both sit well above AMD stock at $102.87, reinforcing the bearish trend. 
The 50-day SMA at $117.70 and the 200-day SMA at $144.15 suggest AMD stock remains in a longer-term downtrend, struggling to find meaningful support. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator at a negative 3.75 reflects accelerating downside momentum, while the Relative Strength Index at 31.80 shows the stock is nearing oversold territory.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What AMD Investors Should Watch For</h2>
Despite the stock's rough technicals, AMD remains fundamentally strong. 
CEO Lisa Su <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43998226">expects double-digit growth</a> in 2025, driven by server and GPU demand. The company has secured $14 billion in design wins, up over 25% year over year, positioning it for long-term success. However, challenges remain as the Embedded segment posted a 13% revenue decline, and Gaming revenue plunged 59% due to weakening console demand.
Wall Street is still bullish despite the sell-off, with a consensus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">price target of $157.33</a>, implying a 53.48% upside from current levels. 
The question is whether AMD stock can regain its footing or if the downward pressure will continue. Until the stock reclaims key moving averages, the trend remains bearish, and investors may want to wait for signs of a turnaround before making a move.
