In Focus
- AMD stock surged 5% on strong long-term growth projections
- Chipmaker projects $100 billion in data center revenue in five years
- The company plans to take on NVIDIA in AI computing
- AMD projects a 60% annual growth in data center revenue over the next 5 years
AMD shares climbed 5% on growth outlook on November 12, 2025. According to Yahoo Finance, the stock rallied a day after the U.S. chipmaker outlined an ambitious plan to grow its data center revenue to $100 billion in five years.
How AMD Plans to Challenge NVIDIA in AI Computing
To achieve its data center revenue goal, AMD plans to take a bigger share of the AI market from its largest competitor, NVIDIA.
Betting on the growing software push and AI-driven demand, CEO Lisa Su said AMD expects its data center chip market to grow to $1 trillion by 2030. AMD is looking to challenge NVIDIA in AI computing with its next-generation MI400 chips and its Helios rack system that are scheduled for release in 2026.
But analysts view AMD’s plan to topple NVIDIA in the battle for AI dominance as challenging to realize. NVIDIA already commands a significant lead in the AI chip industry, controlling a bigger market share.
“AMD’s success will come from being better than NVIDIA on whatever metrics matter most to the customers. Those parameters may change over time, as bottlenecks such as space, power, and component availability all play a part,” Morgan Stanley Analysts said.
AMD’s Data Center Revenue Outlook
Speaking during the company’s Financial Analyst Day in New York on November 11, 2025, CFO Jean Hu highlighted AMD’s long-term growth targets.
Quick Summary of AMD’s 5-Year Revenue Projections
- The chipmaker expects overall revenue to grow by 35% from $34 billion in 2025
- Data center revenue expected to grow by 60% annually, up from $16 billion in 2025
- AMD’s gross margins would be in the range of 55% to 58%
- Operating margins expected to be more than 35%
- Earnings per share to reach $20 compared to 2025’s $2.68 per share estimate
AMD expects its data center business to be the main revenue driver as it expands its market share and delves deeper into the AI industry.
AMD’s Rides the AI Boom Wave
Although analysts appreciate the chipmaker’s revenue growth projects, there are concerns around execution risks, supply chain constraints, and sustainability of AMD’s AI infrastructure spending.
AMD has been riding the big data center wave, having bagged a mega GPU supply deal with cloud service provider giant, Oracle. Under the deal, AMD will deploy 50,000 AMD GPUs in its cloud computing infrastructure.
The chipmaker has also signed a chip deal with OpenAI to supply 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs.
Although the company did not announce new deals, CEO Su mentioned that AMD sees opportunities for various gigawatt-scale projects for its MI450 serious chips across AI-native firms, hyperscalers, and sovereign AI enterprises.
