Nasdaq futures are up 0.27% while S&P 500 futures have gained 0.10%. AMD is pairing a potential $5 billion bond raise with an aggressive AI and server expansion plan, giving the chipmaker additional financial flexibility as it prepares to scale new products, fulfill major customer commitments and pursue faster data-center growth. **Read Also: AMD’s 2027 Server Revenue Outlook Is Already 20% Bigger Than the Entire 2025 Market** ## Plans Largest-Ever Dollar Bond Sale AMD plans to raise as much as $5 billion through a four-part investment-grade bond offering with maturities ranging from three to 10 years, although the final size will depend on investor demand. The company said it may use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including debt repayment. The planned offering would significantly exceed AMD’s previous high-grade bond sale, when it raised $1.5 billion in March 2025. ## AI and Server Growth Outlook Accelerates At its Technology Leadership Forum 2026, AMD said it expects server revenue to grow more than 80% in the second half of 2026 and at least 70% in 2027. The company expects its broader data-center business, including AI, to grow well above 100% next year. AMD estimates the server CPU market will reach $220 billion by 2030 and continues to target more than 50% revenue share. Management expects agentic computing to represent roughly two-thirds of that opportunity as AI spending shifts increasingly toward inference. Ramsay said AMD’s early 2027 server revenue outlook is roughly 20% larger than the entire server market was in 2025, underscoring the scale of the company’s expected growth. ## Helios and Major Customers Support the Expansion AMD plans to begin shipping components for its Helios AI racks in September and expects a significant revenue ramp in the fourth quarter, followed by another increase in the first quarter. The company has secured 1-gigawatt commitments from **OpenAI** and **Meta Platforms, Inc** (NASDAQ:META), while **Anthropic** has committed to 1 gigawatt with an ambition to reach 2 gigawatts. AMD also expects deployments through **Microsoft Corporation** Azure, **Oracle Corporation** Cloud Infrastructure and other cloud providers. ## Price Action **AMD Stock Price Activity:** Advanced Micro Devices shares were up 0.52% at $485.50 during premarket trading on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data. _Image via Shutterstock_ **Read Also: Intel’s $20 Billion Capital Raise Is a Bullish Tell for Its Foundry Business, Analyst Says** ### Related Stocks - [AMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMD.US.md) - [AMDG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDG.US.md) - [AMUU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMUU.US.md) - [AMDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDL.US.md) - [AMDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDD.US.md) - [META.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/META.US.md) - [METG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/METG.US.md) - [METW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/METW.US.md) - [FBL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBL.US.md) - [METU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/METU.US.md) - [METD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/METD.US.md) - [FBY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBY.US.md) - [FBYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBYY.US.md) - [MAGX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MAGX.US.md) - [DAMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DAMD.US.md) - [AMDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDY.US.md) - [AMDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDW.US.md) - [SMH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) - [SOXX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [SOXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [SOXQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXQ.US.md) - [XSD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [PSI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PSI.US.md) - [FTXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FTXL.US.md) - [ANTH.NA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ANTH.NA.md) - [.IXIC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.IXIC.US.md) - [.SPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.SPX.US.md) - [OpenAI.NA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OpenAI.NA.md) - [MSFT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFT.US.md) - [ORCL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL.US.md) - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [ORCL-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL-D.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Anthropic’s Massive AI Buildout Is Another Bullish Signal for AMD Stock](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295700576.md) - [AMD Expands Local AI Capabilities With Muse Glimmer 30B Support](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295430590.md) - [EROC: Record backlog and strong AI demand drive 2026 growth outlook despite Q2 net loss](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295576431.md) - [Zuckerberg Wants AI for All — This CEO Says Open Models Are Making It Real](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295563473.md) - [KMG Fiduciary Partners LLC Decreases Stock Position in Meta Platforms, Inc. $META](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295516525.md)
