What Happened?

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock surged nearly 9% on Monday after Piper Sandler raised its price target from $125 to $140, citing excitement around the company’s “Advancing AI” event last week.

The upgrade came on the heels of AMD’s unveiling of its next-generation MI400 series AI chips and the revolutionary Helios full-server rack system, expected to launch in 2026.

The Helios rack represents a technological leap, enabling thousands of AMD’s MI400 chips to be interconnected as a unified “rack-scale” system.

This directly competes with Nvidia’s upcoming Vera Rubin racks, positioning AMD to serve large-scale AI workloads better.

Notably, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman appeared on stage with AMD CEO Lisa Su, confirming that the ChatGPT maker will use AMD’s new chips and calling the technology “totally crazy.”

Piper Sandler analysts highlighted the Helios rack as “pivotal for AMD Instinct growth” and expressed optimism about a “snapback” in the GPU business in the fourth quarter.

This timing aligns with AMD’s efforts to address the bulk of $800 million in charges related to new U.S. export license requirements for China, which have impacted data center GPU revenue this year.

What the Market Is Telling Us About AMD Stock

The strong response to AMD stock reflects growing confidence in its ability to compete effectively against Nvidia in the AI chip market.

As CFO Jean Hu noted in recent comments, AMD expects the AI processor market to grow from $45 billion in 2023 to over $500 billion by 2028, indicating an annual growth rate of more than 60%.

The chip maker’s strategic positioning with the MI400 series and Helios architecture suggests it’s well-prepared to capture a meaningful share of this explosive growth.

What’s encouraging for investors is AMD’s execution timeline. While the MI400 series won’t ship until 2026, the company is already seeing strong traction with current-generation products.

As Hu emphasized, AMD exceeded $5 billion in AI GPU revenue in its first year after launching the MI300, and it expects continued momentum with the launch of MI350 this quarter.
