If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Roundhill Investments launched five new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">WeeklyPay ETFs</a>, each aiming to deliver weekly dividends without sacrificing upside or using options.
The new additions include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Roundhill AMZN WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZW#BATS">AMZW</a>), following Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), </li>
<li>Roundhill BRKB WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRKW#BATS">BRKW</a>), following Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), </li>
<li>Roundhill HOOD WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOW#BATS">HOOW</a>), following Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>)</li>
<li>Roundhill META WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/METW#BATS">METW</a>), following Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) </li>
<li>Roundhill NFLX WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLW#BATS">NFLW</a>), following Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)</li>
</ul>
These launches bring the WeeklyPay family to 10 ETFs. Each fund aims to capture 120% of the aggregate return of its underlying security each calendar week, as well as a regular distribution.
That&#8217;s a clear divergence from the way most single-stock income ETFs operate, usually through selling covered calls, which exchange upside potential for option premiums. And with more than $15 billion flowing into such a strategy, the company obviously believes there is room for disruption.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Kind Of Income ETF</h2>
Instead of depending on derivatives, Roundhill&#8217;s WeeklyPay ETFs employ leverage to enhance returns, aiming at 1.2x the performance of the underlying stock on a weekly basis. That multiplier, naturally, involves risk, particularly in downward environments, but it also avoids having investors forego gains in a bull market, as with covered call strategies.
The money also makes weekly payments, which might be enticing for income-oriented investors tired of the slow dribble of dividends.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Tech Giants To Meme Stocks</h2>
Roundhill&#8217;s current roster already boasts single-stock ETFs tied to such names as Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>). But the company isn&#8217;t yet done.
It has applied for additional WeeklyPay ETFs tracking an eclectic roster: from blue chips such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), to semicon-weighty names such as AMD (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), to speculative darlings such as Reddit (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>), DraftKings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>), and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
The message is plain: Roundhill is looking to track the entire gamut of investor demand—tech, momentum, income, and high-risk stocks—all under one umbrella.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch</h2>
While the structure has upside potential, it&#8217;s not without its cautionary tales. Leveraged exposure, even at a 1.2x rate, amplifies gains and losses as much as it amplifies the underlying. And while the absence of options sidesteps issues of premium decay and call-away risk, investors should still look at how distributions are made and what level of volatility to anticipate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is the Graviton4 Chip?</h2>
According to Amazon, its latest <a target="_blank" href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/graviton4-aws-cloud-computing-chip" rel="noreferrer noopener">cloud computing chip</a>, Graviton4, offers significant advancements in performance and energy efficiency. It&#8217;s the fourth generation of AWS&#8217;s custom-engineered data center chips, first introduced in 2018.
Graviton4, based on Arm-architecture, boasts four times the performance of Graviton1 and is even more energy-efficient than its predecessor, Graviton3. With 73 billion transistors, it&#8217;s being adopted by major customers like SAP and Epic Games for high-performance and reliable cloud experiences. This innovation, alongside other custom AWS chips like Trainium and Inferentia for AI, underscores Amazon&#8217;s leadership in cloud computing technology.
Amazon manufactures Graviton4 central processing unit at its Annapurna Labs in Austin, Texas.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Does Having A Custom Chip Matter?</h2>
Rami Sinno, director of engineering at Amazon Web Services (AWS) Annapurna Labs, cited strong demand for chips that outpaced the supply.
AWS Senior Director Gadi Hutt told CNBC about Amazon&#8217;s initiatives to provide an alternative to Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) costly graphics processing units.
Hutt told CNBC. that Anthropic&#8217;s Claude Opus 4 AI model launched on Trainium2 GPUs and Project Rainier. Trainium3 is coming up in 2025, he said.
AWS has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42309656/amazon-unleashes-powerful-ai-chip-clusters-to-supercharge-anthropics-models-while-challenging-nvidia-and-openais-dominance" rel="noreferrer noopener">committed $8 billion</a> to Anthropic. Also, Amazon chief&nbsp;Andy Jassy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45982631/amazon-ceo-says-generative-ai-will-reduce-total-corporate-workforce" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently highlighted the</a> company&#8217;s extensive leveraging of&nbsp;Generative AI&nbsp;to drive value.
Jassy highlighted Generative AI&#8217;s crucial role within AWS for developers and optimizing internal functions such as fulfillment and customer service. He also pointed to developing AI agents to automate tasks and accelerate innovation.
As Amazon commits huge spending and Capex to AI, it is imperative that it design its own chips based on custom needs rather than relying on NVIDIA.
Jassy stated that this AI-driven transformation might reduce the corporate workforce in the coming years.
Price Action: AMZN stock is up 0.92% at $216.80 at the last check on Wednesday.

Amazon's Powerful AWS Custom Chip To Get An Upgrade - Why Is It Important?

Texas Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>) on Wednesday announced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45994353/texas-instruments-plans-to-invest-more-than-60-billion-to-manufacture-billions-of-foundational-sem" rel="noreferrer noopener">$60 billion plan</a> to expand U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturing, marking what the company says is the largest investment in foundational chip production in the nation&#8217;s history.
The multi-year project will include seven fabrication plants across three sites in Texas and Utah. The move is expected to create over 60,000 jobs and boost production of analog and embedded chips used in smartphones, vehicles, satellites, and AI systems.
The plan aligns with the Trump administration&#8217;s effort to bring critical tech manufacturing back onshore.

Medtronic credited TI with maintaining chip flow during shortages, and SpaceX praised TI&#8217;s chips for enabling its Starlink internet service.

These trades reflect Ark&#8217;s strategic positioning in the tech sector amidst market fluctuations.
The AMD Trade: On Tuesday, Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) fund acquired 37,377 shares of Advanced Micro Devices. This purchase aligns with AMD&#8217;s recent market momentum, driven by speculation of a potential &#8220;GPU win&#8221; with Amazon Web Services and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45978843/amd-stock-is-up-10-this-week-whats-going-on">positive rating</a> from Piper Sandler. The analyst, Harsh Kumar, maintained an &#8220;Overweight&#8221; rating and increased AMD&#8217;s price target to $140, citing the company&#8217;s product launches and expected growth in AI. The shares closed at $128.10, making the trade worth approximately $4.75 million. 
The TSMC Trade: The ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>) fund purchased 36,913 shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing on the same day. TSM shares closed at $213.90 on Tuesday. The Ark transaction was valued at $7.9 million.
TSM is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45953943/taiwan-semiconductor-eyes-rollout-of-2nm-advanced-tech-chips-this-year">advancing its 2-nanometer technology</a>, aiming for commercialization in the latter half of 2025. This move is part of TSM&#8217;s strategy to maintain its competitive edge over rivals like Samsung Electronics. The acquisition reflects Ark&#8217;s confidence in TSM&#8217;s technological advancements and market potential. 
The Circle Internet Trade: Ark Invest&#8217;s funds, including Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARKK, and ARKW, collectively sold a substantial number of shares in Circle Internet, totaling 300,108 shares. On Tuesday, Circle Internet shares ended the day at $149.15, making the Ark Transaction on the day worth $44.8 million.
Circle, known for issuing the USDC stablecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45955267/circle-internet-group-crcl-stock-hits-new-highs-whats-going-on">seen its stock soar</a> since its IPO on June 5, 2025. The stock&#8217;s initial pricing at $31 surged to $83.23 on its first trading day, continuing to attract investor interest. This sale could indicate a strategic reallocation of Ark&#8217;s investment portfolio. Notably, on Monday, Wood had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/45964983/cathie-woods-monday-shuffle-buys-nvidia-sells-meta-ark-also-dumps-hot-circle-stock">sold $43.6 million</a> worth of Circle shares.

Xbox Releases YouTube Video Titled "Xbox + AMD: Powering the Next Generation of Xbox" Saying "multi-year agreement with AMD to co-engineer silicon across a portfolio of devices, including our next-generation Xbox consoles. Together, we're delivering deeper visual quality, immersive gameplay, and AI-powered experiences - grounded in a platform designed for players, not tied to a single store or device, and fully compatible with your existing Xbox game library."

Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) shares are trading higher by 1.3% to $128.10 during Tuesday&#8217;s session and over 10% since Monday&#8217;s session open. This surge is largely attributed to unconfirmed rumors of a &#8220;GPU win&#8221; with Amazon Web Services and a positive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">analyst rating</a> update from Piper Sandler, which raised its price target for AMD.
What To Know: The momentum follows Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45955190/amd-stock-is-soaring-monday-whats-going-on">maintaining</a> an &#8220;Overweight&#8221; rating and increasing the price target to $140, citing AMD&#8217;s product launches and anticipated AI business growth. Kumar also highlighted AMD&#8217;s robust relationship with Amazon, a multi-level customer for both CPUs and GPUs. 
CNBC&#8217;s David Faber on Monday further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45955190/amd-stock-is-soaring-monday-whats-going-on">fueled speculation</a>, reporting on &#8220;Squawk On The Street&#8221; that unusual momentum in AMD shares appeared to be driven by an unconfirmed rumor about a GPU deal with AWS. This potential expanded partnership with Amazon seems to be a primary catalyst for the stock&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45969938/amd-stocks-rips-9-amid-possible-aws-partnership-should-you-buy-or-sell-key-metrics-reveal-the-answer">strong performance</a> Tuesday. 
Amazon previously disclosed an $84.4 million stake in AMD following the chipmaker&#8217;s acquisition of ZT Group International, a company in which Amazon held a stake.
Price Action: The current session volume stands at 47.680 million Tuesday morning, with a 100-day average volume of 41.963 million. According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AMD has a 52-week high of $187.28 and a 52-week low of $76.48.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy AMD Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Advanced Micro Devices &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Advanced Micro Devices, which is trading at $128.10 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.78 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

As a result, Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar maintained an Overweight rating and raised AMD's price target to $140 (from $125). Last week, the expert highlighted product launches at the company's "Advancing AI" event. Most notably, the industry was abuzz regarding the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45919591/amd-challenges-nvidias-ai-dominance-with-new-helios-server-as-openai-ceo-sam-altman-confirms-chatgpt-will-use-lisa-su-led-tech-giants-latest-chips-future-of-ai-is-not-going-to-be-built-b"> Helios rack</a>, a system comprising 72 advanced graphics processors for the purpose of powering data centers.
Still, with so much enthusiasm baked into AMD stock, investors may wonder if there are additional supporting narratives. Primarily, the bulls will likely point to the continued expansion of machine intelligence. Earlier this month, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) generated headlines on news that it is considering a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/06/45839465/zuckerbergs-ai-push-expands-meta-weighs-10b-stake-in-scale-ai"> multi-billion-dollar investment</a> into Scale AI, which helps companies train AI models.
Per a Bloomberg report, the investment could top $10 billion in value, reflecting sustained growth in the digital automation realm. Subsequently, interest in AI may help boost GPU sales.
Another positive storyline again comes from Amazon. Just recently, the e-commerce juggernaut announced plans to invest the equivalent of approximately $13.02 billion through 2029 to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45943758/amazon-commits-13-billion-to-expand-australias-ai-data-center-infrastructure"> expand its data center infrastructure</a> across Australia. Again, such fundamental factors lend credence to the belief that Advanced Micro can benefit from increased demand for its data center products.
Still, every investment carries risks, and AMD stock is no exception. While Advanced Micro has made significant progress in the fabless semiconductor realm, it's an arena dominated by Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). It's also not particularly close. At the time of writing, Nvidia commands a market capitalization of $3.53 trillion. In contrast, AMD is looking at just under $205 billion.
Another point to consider is that the personal computer market is<a href="https://www.pcworld.com/article/2581409/the-pc-market-grew-only-1-3-in-2024.html"> mature</a>. In particular, consumer PC sales have slowed since the COVID-19 crisis, thus hurting Advanced Micro's traditional CPU and GPU business. It also doesn't help that the PC market only grew about 1.3% last year, reflecting wider challenges.
The Direxion ETFs: With competing narratives clashing for a popular enterprise, those interested in trading AMD stock may consider Direxion's leveraged and inverse exchange-traded funds. For the bulls, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/06/45970373/advanced-micro-devices-demand-spike-draws-intrigue-for-direxions-amd-focused-bull-and-bear-funds?utm_source=Referral&amp;utm_medium=Native&amp;utm_source_platform=Benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=LandI_Product_AMUU-AMDD">Direxion Daily AMD Bull 2X Shares</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMUU#NASDAQ">AMUU</a>) seeks the daily investment results of 200% of the performance of AMD stock. On the other end, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/06/45970373/advanced-micro-devices-demand-spike-draws-intrigue-for-direxions-amd-focused-bull-and-bear-funds?utm_source=Referral&amp;utm_medium=Native&amp;utm_source_platform=Benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=LandI_Product_AMUU-AMDD">Direxion Daily AMD Bear 1X Shares</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMDD#NASDAQ">AMDD</a>) seeks 100% of the inverse performance of the namesake equity.
Primarily, the relevance of these Direxion ETFs focuses on providing a convenient mechanism for speculation. Typically, those interested in leveraged opportunities or short positions must engage the options market. However, these derivative instruments can be incredibly complex. Direxion ETFs, on the other hand, can be bought and sold, much like any other publicly traded security, thus mitigating the learning curve.
Nevertheless, prospective participants should be cognizant of the risks. First, inverse and leveraged ETFs tend to be much more volatile than standard funds tracking benchmark indices. Also, the tracking of a single entity makes it subject to wild swings. Second, Direxion ETFs are designed for exposure lasting no longer than one day. Holding beyond the recommended period may expose traders to value decay due to the daily compounding effect.
The AMUU ETF: Making its public market debut in February of this year, the AMUU ETF is off to a decent start, gaining almost 8%.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Previously, AMUU was bouncing off the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA), which represented support. With Monday's big pop, the bull fund is firmly above this near-term gauge.</li>
<li>What's encouraging about Monday's jump of 17.5% was that it was also accompanied by a massive spike in volume.</li>
</ul>

The AMDD ETF: Also making its debut in February, the AMDD ETF isn't quite as fortunate, losing more than 22% of value.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Contrary to what was witnessed in the bullish counterpart, the AMDD ETF's 20-day EMA has acted as resistance.</li>
<li>Huge distributive volume accompanied Monday's selloff in AMDD. Moving forward, it likely must regain control of $20 to instill confidence.</li>

Advanced Micro Devices' Demand Spike Draws Intrigue For Direxion's AMD-Focused Bull And Bear Funds

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) jumped by nearly 9%, moving above the key support level after seven months on Monday. This was driven by a possible partnership with Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web Services (AWS).
What Happened: On Monday, AMD gained 8.81% to jump above its 200-day simple daily moving average of $116.98 apiece.
This was fueled by a positive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45955190/amd-stock-is-soaring-monday-whats-going-on">update from Piper Sandler</a> and unconfirmed rumors that the company scored a "GPU win" with Amazon Web Services.
The stock moved higher than its 200-day SMA for the first time in over seven months.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

The stock was still below its 50-day SMA with a relative strength index in the neutral zone at 57.68.
Meanwhile, the current MACD reading for AMD shows a bullish signal. The MACD line of 0-2.43 is above the signal line of -6.82, and the positive histogram value of 4.39 confirms this bullish cross.

While the technical indicators point towards a buying opportunity, about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">37 analysts tracked by Benzinga</a> have a consensus &#8216;buy&#8217; rating and average price target of 140.94 apiece. The targets range from $95 to $200. Recent ratings from Piper Sandler, Stifel, and Roth Capital imply a 12.48% upside for the stock.

Why It Matters: On June 16, Piper Sandler&#8217;s Harsh Kumar reiterated an &#8216;overweight&#8217; rating on AMD, raising the price target to $140.
Kumar is optimistic about AMD&#8217;s GPU business, expecting a fourth quarter rebound after China-related charges. He forecasts third-quarter 2025 AI business growth to offset these charges.
Notably, Kumar highlighted AMD&#8217;s strong, multi-level relationship with Amazon, a key customer for both CPUs and GPUs. This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45955190/amd-stock-is-soaring-monday-whats-going-on">unconfirmed GPU deal</a> with AWS likely fueled Monday&#8217;s AMD stock surge. Amazon&#8217;s prior $84.4 million stake in AMD, from the ZT Group acquisition, further underscores this relationship.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, AMD&#8217;s forward price-to-earnings ratio stood at 33.898 times the 2026 earnings, whereas the industry average was at 37.030 times. This meant that the stock was trading at a forward price of 0.92 times in comparison with its peers.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) shares are trading higher Monday following a positive update from Piper Sandler. There are also unconfirmed rumors that the company scored a &#8220;GPU win&#8221; with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aws">Amazon Web Services</a>. 
What&#8217;s Going On: Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar maintained AMD with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">Overweight rating</a> and raised its price target from $125 to $140 following the chipmaker&#8217;s pre-quarter close call.
Kumar highlighted product launches at AMD&#8217;s &#8220;Advancing AI&#8221; event last week, noting that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45919591/amd-challenges-nvidias-ai-dominance-with-new-helios-server-as-openai-ceo-sam-altman-confirms-chatgpt-will-use-lisa-su-led-tech-giants-latest-chips-future-of-ai-is-not-going-to-be-built-b">Helios rack announcement</a> is &#8220;pivotal&#8221; for AMD Instinct growth moving forward. 
The Piper Sandler analyst is also optimistic that the company&#8217;s GPU business is trending in the right direction and should see a &#8220;snapback&#8221; in the fourth quarter after it gets past China-related charges. 
&#8220;We know that AMD's AI business is expected to inflect upward starting 3Q25 and that should offset some of these charges. We are showing growth in our model for the AI business starting Sept 25 quarter,&#8221; the analyst said in a new note to clients.
Kumar also noted that AMD and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) appear to be engaged in a strong relationship, with Amazon being a customer at multiple levels. 
&#8220;The relationship spans CPUs + GPUs and Amazon is likely to announce the relationship at its own discretion. There was some speculation about this in the investor community,&#8221; the Piper Sandler analyst said. 
The potential expanded relationship with Amazon appears to be the main driver of the strong surge in AMD shares on Monday. CNBC&#8217;s David Faber reported on &#8220;Squawk On The Street&#8221; that the unusual momentum in shares appears to be fueled by an unconfirmed rumor about a GPU deal between the two companies. 
&#8220;I am hearing some talk though that involves perhaps a GPU win for AMD from AWS,&#8221; Faber said Monday morning on the show. 
Amazon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45298390/amazon-acquires-84-4-million-stake-in-amd-amid-ai-chip-expansion-export-controls">disclosed</a> in a regulatory filing last month that it acquired an $84.4 million stake in AMD after the chipmaker acquired server manufacturer ZT Group International,&nbsp;which Amazon held a stake in. In connection with the takeover deal, AMD issued shares to ZT Group shareholders, including Amazon. 
AMD Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/AMD">AMD shares</a> were up 9.44% at $127.04 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

AMD Stock Is Soaring Monday: What's Going On?

WIIM

Advanced Micro Devices shares are trading higher after Piper Sandler maintained an Overweight rating on the stock and raised its price target from $125 to $140.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) explored commercializing its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chip-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced 2-nanometer process</a> using gate-all-around (GAA) technology in the second half of 2025.
South Korean rival Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) is also looking to launch its own 2nm process by 2025 to narrow the gap with Taiwan Semiconductor, the Chosun Daily <a target="_blank" href="https://www.chosun.com/english/industry-en/2025/06/16/CSTCW3TPMZBRLDIYILHFY7BRAQ/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Monday.
Samsung was the first to implement GAA in mass production with its 3nm chips in 2022.

According to the report, the Taiwanese contract chipmaker will start 2nm production simultaneously at its Baoshan and Kaohsiung facilities within Taiwan&#8217;s Hsinchu Science Park.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s 2nm yield is reportedly stable at around 60% to 70%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Does It Matter</h2>
2nm (2 nanometers): In semiconductor terms, it refers to the &#8220;manufacturing process.&#8221; A smaller nanometer number generally indicates more advanced technology, allowing for smaller transistors, higher transistor density (more transistors in the same area), improved performance, and lower power consumption. The 2nm process is at the cutting edge of chip manufacturing.
Achieving 60-70% yield for a brand-new, highly complex, bleeding-edge process like 2nm is considered a very positive sign during the R&amp;D phase.
A yield of 70% or higher (and ideally much higher for mature processes) is desired for profitable mass production.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Wants To Buy 2nm Chips?</h2>
Apple Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) upcoming&nbsp;iPhone 18&nbsp;lineup <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44453733/apples-iphone-18-to-get-massive-boost-with-2nm-a20-chiptsmcs-yields-surge-past-70-says-top-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">will likely feature</a> Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s&nbsp;2nm A20 chip, according to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) has also tapped its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44962945/intel-taps-taiwan-semiconductor-for-advanced-2nm-process-for-ai-powered-chips-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">long-term supplier</a>,&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor, for its&nbsp;advanced 2nm process. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) is also a client of Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s 2nm process.
Taiwan Semiconductor reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44857887/taiwan-semiconductor-q1-surges-41-in-sales-boosted-by-ai-chip-demand-expanded-margins" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter net sales</a> of $25.53 billion (839.25 billion New Taiwanese Dollars), up 41.6% year over year and topping the analyst consensus estimate of $23.92 billion. However, net sales declined&nbsp;3.4% quarter over quarter.
Net income and earnings per share were $361.56 billion New Taiwanese Dollars and 13.94 New Taiwanese Dollars per share (or $2.12), topping the&nbsp;analyst consensus of $1.82.
Taiwan Semiconductor&nbsp;guided second-quarter&nbsp;2025 revenue of $28.4 billion to $29.2 billion, versus the $26.79&nbsp;billion analyst estimate.&nbsp;
Price Action: TSM stock is trading higher by 2.56% to $216.52 at last check Monday.
