October is almost here, making it a great time to consider some scary-good buys. These stocks are scary-good because of their tailwinds, growth potential and price action, which suggests explosive upside could be realized before year’s end. The catalysts for these moves, if they aren't already well underway, are likely to emerge over the coming weeks as the underlying companies report earnings. Advanced Micro Devices Breaks Out
Advanced Micro Devices' (NASDAQ: AMD) story is unchanged: MI450 is rolling out, demand is expected to be strong because of the Helios architecture, and forward consensus estimates fail to reflect the potential. The narrative, however, is advancing, with the stock price moving to fresh highs and signaling that the trend is continuing. In this case, there is a fundamental driver, but this is primarily a technical play because the market is already moving. The critical takeaway is the upside potential: Advanced Micro Devices' breakout suggests the summer consolidation may be the halfway point—or less—of a much larger move. The base-case forecast is a move matching the March-to-June rally, or about $368, projected from either the low or high end of the consolidation range. This puts AMD shares in the $828 to $925 range within a few months of the breakout, well above most analysts' targets. The bull case, however, appears to be the more likely scenario: AMD shares could advance by the same percentage gain recorded from March to June, approximately 195%. In this scenario, AMD’s share price could reach $1,350 or higher, just above AMD’s highest analyst target, set by analysts at Robert W. Baird over the summer. 
Credo Technologies Is ReboundingCredo Technology's (NASDAQ: CRDO) summer price pullback was deeper than expected, but it was not a deal-breaker for bulls. The late-September narrative is that the floor has been found and a rebound is underway. Active signals include a growing and increasingly robust market, as shown by rising volume and MACD convergence. CRDO shares could retest their recent highs or potentially reach new highs soon. While Credo faces its share of hurdles, it has established itself as AI-critical today, with a pipeline of AI-critical photonics and optics technology for tomorrow. Analyst sentiment trends reflect the summer correction, including some price-target reductions, but remain otherwise bullish on the stock. Consensus is stabilizing around the $260-$270 region, aligning with existing highs and suggesting potential upside of more than 30%. The next quarterly results could exceed expectations, extending the positive trends in the business, sentiment and stock price. 
Bloom Energy Taps Into AI Energy StrengthBloom Energy (NYSE: BE) is a name investors should not ignore. The once-struggling fuel-cell manufacturer is now AI-critical, helping bypass energy infrastructure bottlenecks. Its story is that hyperscalers across the industry have validated its technology and scalability, while orders are continuing to roll in. Upcoming results will likely show strength, beat estimates and lead to higher forecasts. The key detail is that Bloom Energy’s fuel cells are available today, produce power today and enable AI today—not years down the road, like most other solutions. 
Target Aims at Full Price RecoveryTarget (NYSE: TGT) isn’t the pariah it was a few years ago, having turned the corner from past missteps toward a new growth era. The company has resilient consumer habits, a holiday-season tailwind that should accelerate sales and reclaimed market share. Target is regaining lost consumers, proving its brand power and potentially leading the industry in growth through year’s end. As it stands, analysts forecast only modest mid-single-digit growth in the back half, along with improved margins and greater earnings power. Outperformance, particularly on the bottom line, would help accelerate the stock’s revaluation, which has substantial room to run. Trading at 16 to 17 times the current-year outlook, TGT has the potential to double in price over the near to medium term and continue rising over the next few years. 
LightPath Technologies Turns a Corner, Provides Strategic AdvantagesLightPath Technologies (NASDAQ: LPTH) is a speculation on domestic supply chains, defense and the strategic advantages of its technology. The company makes high-performance optical lenses and components for infrared and precision applications and is now focusing on drones and defense. Key details include the divestiture of its China-based manufacturing operations, an intensified focus on domestic manufacturing and the nature of its products. Many LightPath products use proprietary glass that enables lighter products made from non-Chinese materials, making them better suited to aerospace and drone applications while strengthening compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act. Coincidentally, the stock price is at the bottom of a range, setting it up for a rebound that could add 50% before reaching the first major resistance target.
