Texas Instruments Plans To Invest More Than $60B Across Seven U.S. Semiconductor Fabs

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.

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.

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.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Recent stock trades made by a senator could show conflicts of interest given his committee assignments and ramp up the call to ban members of Congress from being able to buy and sell stocks.
Here's a look at the recent stock trades made by Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.).
What Happened: Mullin recently bought stock in several stocks, while also selling a position in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500. The trades are shown on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/markwayne-mullin">Benzinga Government Trades page.</a>
According to a recent disclosure, Mullin bought the following stocks on May 13:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Chevron Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>): $50,000 to $100,000</li>
<li>ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>LPL Financial Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPLA#NASDAQ">LPLA</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>L3 Harris Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>): $50,000 to $100,000</li>
<li>Zoetis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>): $50,000 to $100,000</li>
</ul>
In the same disclosure, Mullin also reported selling $500,000 to $1 million worth of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust.
He reportedly bought between $285,000 and $750,000 in new stock positions, along with total transactions ranging from $785,000 to $1.75 million.
One of the most active stock traders in the Senate, Benzinga shows 325 trades worth $8.47 million, and Quiver Quant <a href="https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Markwayne%20Mullin-M001190">shows </a>$15.5 million in trades from Mullin in recent years.
His net worth is listed by Quiver Quant at $65.7 million, with part of the wealth coming from selling businesses before becoming a Congressman from 2013 to 2023 and later a Senator since 2023.
The Senator's purchase of L3 Harris Technologies could raise red flags, given that it is a large defense stock and Mullin <a href="https://www.senate.gov/general/committee_assignments/assignments.htm#MullinOK">sits </a>on the Committee on Armed Services.
The purchase of oil stocks also involves Mullin, who belongs to the Subcommittee on the Department of Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies.
The Republican senator is on numerous committees and could have inside information about government policy and contracts while making his stock transactions.
Mullin denied past conflicts of interest when he owned shares of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and was set to vote on a potential TikTok ban, which could help Meta.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Mullin's latest trades come as a call to ban members of Congress from buying and selling stocks and options is gaining support.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/45077654/bill-named-after-nancy-pelosi-could-ban-congress-members-from-trading-stocks-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-pelosi-act" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> introduced the</a> Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act, based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at Congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Pelosi, whose husband is a frequent stock trader and venture capitalist, likely doesn&#8217;t support the bill that would limit her husband's transactions while she&#8217;s in office.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.), also in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/05/45449720/speaker-johnson-backs-congressional-stock-trading-ban-ruined-by-a-few-bad-actors">favor of a ban</a>, said there is zero tolerance for &#8220;anything resembling insider trading.&#8221;
President Donald Trump recently said he would support such a ban and that he would sign the bill if Congress passed it
"Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it," Trump told TIME.
Benzinga<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45552223/exclusive-congress-trading-ban-sees-huge-support-in-reader-poll-heres-the-percent-that-say-let-them-keep-trading-stocks"> recently polled readers</a> to see where they stand on a potential ban on Congress trading.
&#8220;Should members of Congress be allowed to buy and sell stocks, options and ETFs?&#8221; Benzinga asked.
These were the results:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>They should not be allowed to trade stocks, options or ETFs:&nbsp;43%</li>
<li>They should be allowed to trade as long as they report within 24 hours:&nbsp;24%</li>
<li>They should only be allowed to trade ETFs and mutual funds:&nbsp;14%</li>
<li>They should be allowed to trade as long as they report in 45 days: 11%</li>
<li>They should only be allowed to trade stocks: 8%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that 43% of readers support an outright ban on members of Congress being able to trade stocks, options, or ETFs. Eleven percent voted that the current rules should be left alone with a 45-day disclosure window.

Representatives from the following companies attended: Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>); Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>); Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>); Marvell Tech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>); Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>); Coherent (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>); Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>); ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>); Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>); Synopsys (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>); and Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>); KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>); and Applied Materials (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>).
Arya noted that the overall tone was positive across computing and networking for GPU (Nvidia and AMD) and ASIC (Marvell) vendors.
He maintains Nvidia with a Buy rating with a $180 price target. Nvidia remains best positioned to benefit from the ongoing AI tide, supported by a multi-year lead in performance (AI scaling), pipeline, incumbency, scale, and developer support, he adds.
Also, the company&#8217;s rack-scale systems are in full production and overall AI demand continues to rise for inference reasoning and sovereign AI.

Arm also expects a continued 50% server CPU deployment share this year, Arya said.
Arya raised his price target on Arm to $150 (from $135) on the continued proliferation (market share gain) of Arm-based CPUs in the data center, above peers, though justified by Arm&#8217;s superior growth profile, sticky Licensing business, and expanding Royalty rates.
Concerns about tariff-related pull-ins remain at Intel for PCs. Still, AMD continues to see strong sell-through in the second quarter, aided by higher-ASP new products, and could even see seasonal second-half strength, the analyst said.
Arya said Lam Research, KLA Corp, and Applied Materials indicated strong momentum in leading-edge F/L and advanced DRAM WFE this year, which is helping to offset weakness in China and trailing-edge spending to sustain mid-single-digit Y/Y growth in calendar 2025.
The analyst said KLA Corp also suggested that mid-single-digit Y/Y WFE growth in calendar 2026 could be a plausible assumption led by strong 2nm/GAA investments.
Lam Research noted NAND upgrades in the early stages across multiple customers inside a $40 billion multi-year opportunity, Arya said. Crucially, all vendors suggested China is &#8220;de-risked&#8221; this year despite recent restriction noise and can settle at 25%- 30% of sales, the analyst noted.
Arya raised his Lam Research price target to $100 (from $90), which was justified by improving NAND prospects as a leading-edge foundry/logic, and advanced DRAM (DDR5/HBM) remained strong.
The analyst raised his price target on KLA Corp to $900 (from $825), given increasing leading-edge F/L ramp visibility, advanced packaging TAM expansion, and best-in-class profitability.
He raised his Lumentum price target to $78 (from $70), justified by broad-based strength in the data center.
Arya raised his On Semiconductor price target to $60 (from $55), which was justified following management calling the second-quarter auto bottom with broad-based recovery across auto and industrial expected in the second half.
