AMD's stock price increased following the announcement of a strategic partnership with OpenAI. The agreement involves OpenAI deploying 6 gigawatts of AMD GPUs and acquiring up to 160 million shares, equating to 10% of AMD's total shares. This development has spurred investor interest, contributing to AMD's stock surge this week, despite ongoing U.S. tariff concerns. Year-to-date, AMD's stock has risen over 96%, benefiting from the AI and semiconductor sector's growth. Analysts from AZ and Rosenblatt have set a $250 price target for AMD, while Goldman Sachs described the deal as a 'major positive' but retained a 'neutral' rating due to potential financing risks and customer concentration in AMD's GPU data center business. OpenAI's partnerships have previously led to stock boosts for companies like NVDA and AMD.
