AMD and Meta announced an expanded strategic partnership covering CPUs, GPUs, networking, systems and software for Meta's services and AI infrastructure. Initial AMD Helios rackscale systems are installed and being tested at Meta ahead of a broader deployment in the near future, while AMD EPYC processors support the computing environment behind Meta's Muse AI agent. Meta will deploy a custom AMD Instinct GPU optimized for its workloads, and the companies are aligning product roadmaps around future generations. AMD also said it will invest $1 billion in Meta's equity offering.

- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Ties AI Deals To $95 Billion Infrastructure Push
On October 26, 2026, AMD was named among suppliers tied to Meta's plan to raise up to US$95 billion for AI infrastructure, including nonbinding purchase interest in future hardware. AMD also disclosed a collaboration with QuTwo and LeadDesk combining quantum-inspired AI model compression with AMD compute for conversational AI in regulated European sectors. Cloud provider Vultr announced an AI expansion in India, building the country's largest AI supercluster around AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs. The article argues these deals suggest AMD is moving from selling chips to supplying fuller AI infrastructure, and says the key checkpoints are data center margins and the supply of high bandwidth memory and advanced packaging, to be watched in upcoming quarterly reports and 2027 guidance.
- Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom could buy Meta shares as part of $35 billion stock offering
- What Changed In AMD's Story?
AMD now highlights Helios, a full rack-scale AI platform combining EPYC Venice CPUs and MI450 series GPUs, rather than the MI300X it emphasized in its October 29, 2024 call. On its August 4, 2026 call, management said Anthropic will deploy up to 2 gigawatts of MI450 series GPUs in Helios, with the first gigawatt starting in the first half of 2027. The Data Center segment brought in $16.6 billion in fiscal 2025, or 48.0% of revenue, and in fiscal Q2 2026 data center revenue grew 107% to $6.7 billion. Helios is not yet included in reported figures, as initial shipments were expected to begin later in the third quarter, so investors are partly paying for a product with no reported sales. The article says the shift looks more reassuring than concerning and points to data center revenue for fiscal Q3 2026, expected in November 2026, as the key figure to watch.
- Chip Stocks to Buy After Their Worst Day Since June
The PHLX Semiconductor Index fell 6.7% on Oct. 22, its worst day since June 23, after Lam Research reported record revenue of $8.22 billion but warned that clean-room space and parts shortages would limit chipmakers' ability to meet demand into 2027. Micron expects memory supply to stay tight in 2027 and 2028, yet its stock is down 29% from its June 25 record close. AMD and Marvell are each about 22% below their Oct. 6 closes. The author says all three are worth considering after the drop, with Micron the first to look at because its price seems to reflect a downturn its own outlook does not show. AMD and Marvell carry higher earnings multiples and need their plans to hold up, and a slowdown in AI spending could still hit all three hard.
- Prediction: 2 Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than AMD 5 Years From Now
The article compares AMD with two AI companies, Cerebras Systems (CBRS) and Marvell Technology (MRVL). Cerebras makes an oversized chip designed to speed up AI computing; in Q2 2026, its core revenue more than doubled year over year, cloud revenue nearly quadrupled, and remaining performance obligations (RPO) reached $25.4 billion. Management expects core revenue to more than triple in 2027, after guiding for $880 million to $890 million this year. Marvell supplies custom chips and high-speed connectivity for AI data centers and targets $70 billion to $90 billion in revenue by fiscal 2031, up from $8.2 billion in fiscal 2026. Market caps are about $829 billion for AMD, $195 billion for Marvell and $26 billion for Cerebras; the article says Marvell has an established business, while Cerebras is higher-risk, with customer concentration among its risks.
- Here's What $10,000 Invested Equally in Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom Could Be Worth by 2030
A $10,000 investment split equally among Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom could be worth about $29,000 by end-2030, provided AI infrastructure spending keeps growing. The author's projections value the 15.7 Nvidia shares at $14,475, based on a share price of about $922, a 19x forward P/E multiple, and EPS above the $28.79 consensus for fiscal 2031, which the author considers low. AMD, with 6.5 shares, is expected to benefit from AI inference demand and target a 50% share of a $220 billion server CPU market by 2030, which could take the position to $6,565. Broadcom, a leader in custom AI chips, could take its 10.3 shares to about $10,197 by late 2030.

Berlin plans to ask households and businesses to contribute over 3 billion euros across 10 years to an emergency gas reserve, while the EU's Russian gas share fell from about 45% in 2021 to about 12% in 2025.
- Our Model and Wall Street Agree on Amazon's Target. Now the Quarter Has to Deliver.
The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a $329.70 price target for Amazon, 31.68% above the $250.38 close, with a buy rating at 70% confidence, within 0.61% of the Wall Street consensus target of $331.72. Q3 results are due October 29 after the close, with guidance for $197–202 billion in sales and $22.5–26.5 billion in operating income, versus $17.4 billion a year earlier. Q2 revenue rose 19.6% to $200.61 billion and AWS grew 37% to $42.23 billion, yet shares sit about 12.8% below their 52-week high of $287.20. The bear case of $283.71 points to about $220 billion of 2026 capex, trailing free cash flow of -$7.6 billion and long-term debt of $119.1 billion, while the $378.96 bull case rests on an AWS backlog of $496 billion. The article says the thesis depends on Q3 operating income and AWS growth staying near the Q2 pace.
- The real source of tech market volatility is cash flow, not credit default swaps
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi argues that the main driver of volatility in tech stocks is collapsing free cash flow at hyperscalers, not credit default swaps, since that cash will be used to repay the debt they take on to fund AI infrastructure. Citing Evercore ISI's Julian Emanuel, he notes the hyperscaler group of Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and SpaceX is expected to have free cash flow near negative $200 billion over the next year. Meta posted negative free cash flow in its third quarter for the first time since 2012, while SpaceX burned about $9.9 billion, and neither company signaled a slowdown in spending. Similar commentary is expected from Google, Amazon and Microsoft when they report this week, which supports Emanuel's view of more quarters of negative free cash flow.
- Nasdaq-100 comes onchain as Janus Henderson and Centrifuge launch first licensed fund
Janus Henderson and Centrifuge launched JQQQ, an issuer-sponsored fund on the Stellar blockchain that tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index, with Janus Henderson issuing and managing the fund, Centrifuge providing the blockchain infrastructure, and Nasdaq licensing the index. Unlike third-party stock tokens, the fund is issued by the manager itself, so investors are not relying on shares held in custody or separate instruments that track prices. Janus Henderson said its onchain investment platform now holds more than $1 billion across Treasuries, structured credit and equities. The launch highlights a growing divide between funds issued onchain by their managers and third-party tokens created without the underlying companies' involvement.
- 3 Reasons to Buy Meta Platforms Stock Before 2027
The article gives three reasons why Meta Platforms (META) may be an opportunity after a pullback: as of Oct. 22, the stock was about 18% below its September high of $779.82. Meta is rolling out Muse, its personal AI agent, which was downloaded by more than 10 million people in its first six weeks, across apps used by 3.6 billion people daily. AI-driven ad upgrades lifted third-quarter revenue 26% to nearly $65 billion, and management expects fourth-quarter revenue of $73 billion to $76 billion. Operating profit fell 37% due to a one-time $9.9 billion legal charge; excluding it, operating income rose 11% to about $22.9 billion. At about $650, the stock trades at a forward P/E of 21.5 on 2026 estimates, while planned 2026 capital expenditures of $135 billion to $145 billion are the main item to watch.
