The rating change came after AMD missed quarterly earnings expectations and released news that it will cut 7 percent of its workforce.

 

Analyst Matthew D. Ramsay believed that “AMD’s diversification strategy remains on track and could position the company for more defensible long-term growth under new CEO Lisa Su, AMD has not been able to stem the decline of their Computing & Graphics business even amidst a stronger PC backdrop.”

The $2.75  price target was based on shares trading at roughly 18x the 2015 non-GAAP EPS estimate.
