Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Hold' on AMD (NYSE: AMD) price target moved to $6.00.

Deutsche analyst said, "AMD delivered 2Q results that were in-line with their negative pre and provided weaker than expected 3Q guidance. While we think AMD's NT strategy is on the right track (holding margins), we are reducing estimates and P/T to reflect the weaker guidance. We retain our rating as we remain concerned regarding LT competitive pressures and relative valuation expansion limitations."

"Our 3Q12 rev/EPS estimates move to $1.39b (-1% q/q)/$0.03 from prior $1.51/$0.17. Our 2012E is now $5.86b (-11% y/y)/$0.28 compared to $6.1b (-7% y/y)/$0.58 prior. Our 2013 rev/EPS ests move to $5.88b (flat y/y)/$0.35 from prior $6.1b/$0.65. Overall, we expect AMD to lose significant MPU mkt share in 2012, with stabilization in 2013."
