Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) and Anthropic have agreed to a deal covering tens of billions of dollars' worth of artificial intelligence servers, according to a Wall Street Journal report, in a move that could strengthen AMD's position against Nvidia while expanding Anthropic's computing capacity. Under the reported agreement, Anthropic will purchase up to 2 gigawatts of AMD's next-generation Instinct MI450 chips beginning in the first half of 2027.
When Lisa Su took the CEO seat at Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD | AMD Price Prediction) on October 8, 2014, the stock changed hands for roughly $3.28 and the company was fighting for its life against Intel.
The 2-gigawatt deal covers tens of billions of dollars' worth of chips, and AMD will invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic.
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is poised for a major AI event, with potential for another significant AI customer announcement following Microsoft and existing OpenAI and Meta deals. AMD's recent Helios rack launch and Microsoft partnership reinforce its position, with speculation of an Anthropic deal that could further boost AI chip revenues. Consensus estimates project a $19 EPS in 2028, but internal targets and potential new deals suggest $20–30 EPS is achievable, making AMD's current valuation at ~$500 not overly expensive.
AMD is deepening its Microsoft partnership to deploy Helios AI systems on Azure, expanding demand across GPUs, CPUs, networking and software.
Recent multi-year partnerships with Meta and OpenAI, each for 6 GW of AI infrastructure, could generate up to $120 billion in Data Center revenue through 2030. AMD's Helios platform integrates CPUs, GPUs, networking, and software, positioning AMD as a more formidable competitor to Nvidia in rack-scale AI systems. Potential shareholder dilution risk exists if up to 320 million warrants from Meta and OpenAI are exercised, representing a possible 19.6% increase in shares outstanding.
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD | AMD Price Prediction) shares look like they could be topping out after that parabolic move made in the first half.
I keep hitting the buy button on AMD (NASDAQ:AMD | AMD Price Prediction) because the projections analysts were sketching a year ago are showing up in the filings, in the customer names, and in the cash flow.
Stock futures are rising after three straight days of declines for major indexes; chip stocks are leading the rebound as volatility in the AI trade persists; several big-name companies reported earnings this morning ahead of Big Tech results tomorrow; Nebius shares are surging on news Nvidia as increased its stake in the Dutch AI infrastructure company; and SpaceX shares are rising after closing lower for the seventh consecutive sessions.

AMD stock jumped more than 4% in premarket trading on Tuesday as Microsoft's endorsement of its artificial-intelligence platform fuelled expectations that a broader customer push could follow. The stock had already gained 5.1% on Monday after Microsoft said it would deploy AMD's Helios rack-scale systems and next-generation EPYC processors across Azure.
The latest trading day saw Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) settling at $503.57, representing a +1.58% change from its previous close.
AMD's numerous long-term deployment deals with tech giants mean that its double-digit revenue growth will continue well into the future.
