The battle between Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) is heating up as both chipmakers gear up<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> to report earnings</a>. 
As AMD struggles to regain momentum, Qualcomm is riding a bullish wave.
Let's break down the numbers and technical signals to see which stock is primed for a stronger move.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD: A Chip Giant Under Pressure</h2>
AMD stock has had a brutal year, dropping 33.12% over the past 12 months and down 3.40% year-to-date. Wall Street expects fourth quarter earnings of $1.08 per share on revenue of $7.53 billion, but the stock remains trapped in a strongly bearish trend.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020425&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="626" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04103309/Screenshot-2025-02-04-at-9.02.43-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-765041" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04103309/Screenshot-2025-02-04-at-9.02.43-PM.png 626w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04103309/Screenshot-2025-02-04-at-9.02.43-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020425&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Technically, AMD stock is flashing multiple sell signals as it trades below its eight-day, 20-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages, reinforcing downward momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) sits at a negative 2.86, and a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 43.50 suggests AMD stock is nearing oversold territory.
However, analysts see a silver lining: The most recent ratings from Rosenblatt, Susquehanna and Melius Research set an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">average price target</a> of $181.33, implying a staggering 57.42% upside.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Qualcomm: Riding The 5G, AI Wave</h2>
Qualcomm stock is on the opposite trajectory, gaining 19.73% in the past year and up 12.24% year-to-date. The company is set to report first quarter earnings on Wednesday, with analysts forecasting $2.96 EPS on $10.92 billion in revenue. 
Unlike AMD, Qualcomm's technicals lean bullish.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020425&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="626" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04103320/Screenshot-2025-02-04-at-9.02.54-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-765042" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04103320/Screenshot-2025-02-04-at-9.02.54-PM.png 626w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/04103320/Screenshot-2025-02-04-at-9.02.54-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px" /></a></figure>

QCOM stock trades above its eight-day, 20-day and 50-day moving averages, signaling strength, though it remains below its 200-day SMA. The MACD of 3.57 suggests bullish momentum and an RSI of 62.99 indicates there's still room to run before overbought levels.
Analyst sentiment is more tempered than AMD's, with Barclays, Mizuho and Melius Research setting an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QCOM/analyst-ratings">average price target</a> of $193.33, implying a 12.75% upside.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Verdict: Will AMD Or Qualcomm Dominate?</h2>
From a technical perspective, Qualcomm holds the edge, boasting bullish momentum and stronger year-to-date gains. AMD, on the other hand, remains in a deep correction but has a high potential upside if it can stage a turnaround. 
Investors betting on a rebound may find AMD attractive at these levels, but Qualcomm appears to be the safer pick heading into earnings.
With both companies set to report soon, all eyes are on whether AMD can break out of its slump or if Qualcomm will extend its lead in the semiconductor race.

GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPRO#NASDAQ">GPRO</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday.
The company has provided details on its supply chain approach in light of recent U.S. tariff announcements.

&#8220;Over the last few years, we proactively moved our U.S.-bound camera production outside of&nbsp;China, which has significantly reduced the impact of tariffs,&#8221; said&nbsp;Brian McGee, CFO and COO of GoPro.
GoPro also emphasized that it doesn&#8217;t expect major adjustments to U.S. consumer prices or profit margins due to the new tariffs on imported goods.
&#8220;We are continuously evaluating and optimizing our supply chain to improve delivery of our products at lower cost,&#8221; McGee added.
The explanation comes as President&nbsp;Donald Trump has imposed hefty tariffs on the United States&#8217; three largest trading partners, including <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mexico, Canada, and China</a>.

The tariffs announced by Trump on Saturday involved a 25% tax on all imports from Mexico and most products from Canada, with the exception of energy-related items like crude oil, which will face a 10% tariff. Furthermore, a 10% duty will be applied to Chinese goods entering the U.S.

Oil markets reversed course sharply on Tuesday morning following reports that President Donald Trump is preparing to issue a memorandum directing the U.S. Treasury to impose maximum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/iran">economic pressure on Iran.</a> 
The directive aims to enforce sanctions and block all potential paths for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon, according to a Reuters report.
The new directive may require the U.S. Secretary of State to modify or revoke existing sanctions waivers and collaborate with the Treasury Department to implement a plan aimed at eliminating Iran&#8217;s oil exports, according to a U.S. official.
&#8220;A bold move considering Iran still ships as much as&nbsp;1.3 million barrels per day, mostly to China,&#8221; commented oilprice.com. 
The news outlet indicated that global oil supply could tighten overnight and noted that the last time Trump fully enforced Iranian sanctions, oil prices surged past $80.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oil Prices Rebound From Session Lows</h3>
Crude oil prices initially declined overnight amid demand concerns following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43462165/china-strikes-retaliatory-measures-against-us-following-trumps-10-tariffs-its-much-less-than-proportional-analyst-says">Chinese trade countermeasures against U.S. tariffs.</a> 
Yet, oil prices erased their losses amid news of Trump&#8217;s potential actions on Iran, rallying on fears of potential supply disruptions.
West Texas Intermediate crude surged above $73 per barrel after hitting a session low of $70, reflecting a sharp intraday swing. Brent crude followed a similar pattern, rising as traders recalibrated expectations for global supply.
Traders will closely watch for further developments regarding the directive and the upcoming meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump on Tuesday, which could further shape U.S. policy on Iran and energy markets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Stocks Outperform </h3>
The broader energy sector saw significant gains as oil prices rebounded. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) jumped 1.9%, leading all other sectors. Major oil companies also saw strong moves higher, with both Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) climbing 2.2%. 
On Tuesday, Goldman Sachs raised its 12-month price target on Chevron from $182 to $183, implying an 18% upside from current levels. Analyst Neil Mehta reiterated Chevron as a &#8220;top Super Major pick for 2025,&#8221; citing three key factors such as strong capital returns, major project ramp-ups and margin expansion.
Goldman expects Chevron to return approximately one-third of its market cap to shareholders over the next three years through dividends and share buybacks. The stock currently yields 4.6%.
Key growth drivers include increased production from the Permian Basin, U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and Kazakhstan&#8217;s Tengiz field.
Finally, the company is expected to improve profitability through cost-cutting and operational efficiencies.
Goldman projects free cash flow of $22 billion in 2025 and $28 billion in 2026, assuming Brent crude prices of $76 and $80 per barrel, respectively. This equates to an FCF yield of 9% in 2025 and 11% in 2026.
Goldman Sachs adjusted its 12-month price target on Exxon from $123 to $117, holding a &#8216;Neutral&#8217; rating.
The firm acknowledges Exxon's strong operational execution and premium upstream portfolio—including assets in Guyana, LNG, and the Permian—but cites valuation concerns relative to peers.
&#8220;While we remain constructive on XOM's strong track record of quarterly and operational execution, we remain mindful of relative valuation,&#8221; the bank stated, highlighting that Exxon&#8217;s 2026 FCF yield of 8% lags behind Chevron and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), which are projected at 11%.
