Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD)Advanced Micro Devices is trading lower today, down 12.56% at $3.83. The microchip maker is trading in the red after Goldman Sachs hurt the company with a downgrade. Goldman downgraded AMD after the company had made a great run over the last week. Goldman's reasoning behind the downgrade was, "as has been the case with many of the other rallies in AMD, which have all faded, ultimately, the numbers do not justify the move in the stock. We believe this will again be the case as we expect continued disappointing results in the PC segment to mitigate the impact of increased revenue from gaming," AMD is still trading in the middle of its 52-week range of $1.81-$6.46.
