New trading tool for NVDA bears
A large $440 million charge from export limits and inventory changes made AMD’s old numbers look worse than they really are. When looking at AMD’s Fiscal 2026 forecast, AMD stock is trading at a much more reasonable 40x earnings.
The company has transformed into a powerhouse for the world’s biggest data centers. Last year, AMD’s sales in this sector climbed to $16.6 billion, which is a 32% jump from the year before. When you add AMD’s gaming and personal computer business, the firm pulls in a total of $31.2 billion. Many businesses that want a strong choice besides Nvidia (NVDA) are now looking at AMD to power their most advanced AI tools.
AMD’s MI450 Architecture Breaks the AI Speed Limit
The tech industry is also checking out AMD’s new MI450 chip, which sits at the center of the Helios platform. This chip uses a special kind of high-speed memory to move data at a blistering 20TB/s.
Because of this speed, the system can handle AI models that are 50% larger than earlier versions without breaking a sweat. This is a massive win for the new Agentic AI programs that big cloud companies are currently building.
Meta Joins Forces with the Helios Platform
Big investors took notice in February 2026 when AMD signed a huge agreement with Meta (META). This deal gives Meta a chance to own up to 160 million shares of the company if performance goals are met. This move links the world’s biggest AI buyer directly to the success of the chipmaker. Other giants like Oracle (ORCL) and OpenAI also plan to start using these Helios superclusters later this year.
AMD’s Venice Processors Capture the Highest-Paying Customers

The upcoming 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” chips, built on the tiny 2nm node, will push this even further. These chips pack 512 threads into one package, helping data centers generate more power while using less electricity.
