For 2016, guidance implies revenues to be up 6 percent year-over-year versus BMO forecast of up 2 percent year-over-year.

Analyst Ambrish Srivastava raised his 2016 and 2017 EPS estimates on higher revenues, lower interest expense from deleveraging, partly offset by higher share count and higher opex.

“Our 2016/2017 EPS estimates go from $(0.21)/$(0.06) to $(0.15)/$0.09. Our target price goes higher to $6 from $5 on a similar EV/Sales multiple on higher sales,” Srivastava wrote in a note.

Advanced Micro Devices closed Friday's trading down 6.32 percent at $6.52.
