AMD Stock Is Soaring on an OpenAI Deal, But Analysts Still Think It Can Climb 35% From Here

AMD (AMD) stock surged nearly 24% on Monday after the company announced a partnership with OpenAI, which could give the ChatGPT maker a 10% stake in the semiconductor giant. OpenAI will deploy six gigawatts of AMD’s Instinct graphics processing units (GPUs) over several years, starting with a 1-gigawatt rollout in late 2026.
The agreement positions AMD as a core strategic partner to OpenAI, marking one of the largest GPU deployment deals in the AI industry. As part of the deal, AMD issued OpenAI a warrant for up to 160 million shares, with vesting tied to deployment volume and AMD’s stock price performance.
OpenAI President Greg Brockman emphasized the partnership’s importance, noting the company currently lacks the computing power to launch many revenue-generating ChatGPT features.
CEO Lisa Su highlighted that AI remains on a 10-year growth trajectory, which requires foundational partnerships to bring the best technologies to market. This deal comes just two weeks after OpenAI’s $100 billion agreement with Nvidia (NVDA), bringing OpenAI’s total infrastructure spending to roughly $1 trillion.
While Nvidia’s stock dipped 1% on the news, the AMD partnership helps diversify OpenAI’s supply chain and reduces dependence on a single vendor. For AMD stock, the deal validates its next-generation Instinct roadmap after years of trailing Nvidia in AI accelerators. CFO Jean Hu expects the partnership to generate tens of billions in revenue while being highly accretive to earnings per share.
AMD is making significant strides in artificial intelligence, and executives are confident that the company can become a major player in the GPU market. The chipmaker recently reported $7.7 billion in second-quarter revenue, a 32% year-over-year (YoY) increase, with strong momentum continuing into the third quarter.
The data center business hit $3.2 billion in the second quarter despite being unable to sell its MI308 chips to China. That setback forced AMD to write off $800 million in inventory. Even with that headwind, the company saw record server CPU sales and expects double-digit sequential growth in the third quarter, driven by its new MI350 chip.
