Seeking Alpha upgrades AMD rating; Motley Fool asks if Micron is next for a split

Published November 6, 2026 · 2 sources

Seeking Alpha upgrades its AMD rating after AI-related weakness, while The Motley Fool looks at whether Micron could be a stock-split candidate.

What happened

Two outlets published separate takes on chipmakers on the same day. Seeking Alpha reports an upgrade of its rating on Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), while The Motley Fool examines whether Micron Technology (MU) could be next in line for a stock split.

Seeking Alpha frames its AMD piece around turmoil tied to artificial intelligence, and argues the situation could open an attractive opportunity. This is the view of the publication's analysis, not of ATLAS.

The Motley Fool says in its description that Micron stock has clearly outperformed both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq throughout 2026. Its article uses that performance to raise the question of a possible split.

Context

Both AMD and Micron are semiconductor companies whose businesses are closely linked to demand for artificial intelligence hardware.

Why it matters

The two pieces show how media commentary is currently focused on AI-related chip stocks, which may be relevant to followers of both companies.
