3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Sep 25

$1 trillion: AMD crossed that market-cap threshold for the first time Monday after its stock jumped 9.9%, putting the company on track to finish the week above the mark.
A 50% revenue surge to a record $11.5 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $1.66 beat Wall Street estimates, driven by data-center sales that more than doubled to $6.7 billion.
AMD reinforced the rally with new Instinct MI450 GPUs and 6th Gen EPYC Venice CPUs for its Helios AI systems, while Microsoft agreed to deploy Helios on Azure AI services in the second half of 2026.
The chipmaker now expects second-half 2026 server CPU revenue to grow 80% year over year, with data-center revenue more than doubling again in 2027 and AI GPU sales rising well over 100%.
AMD shares are up 193% this year, far outpacing Nvidia's 22% gain and underscoring how investor enthusiasm has shifted toward AMD's expanding AI and server-chip franchise.
