Key Takeaways

Advanced Micro Devices shares surged Tuesday after the AI chipmaker said it struck a big AI chip deal with Meta Platforms.
The deal could see Meta owning up to 10% of the chipmaker’s stock.

Advanced Micro Devices just scored another big AI chip deal, this time with Meta Platforms.

Shares of AMD (AMD) were up over 7% in recent trading after the chipmaker said it inked an agreement with Meta (META) to provide the Facebook and Instagram parent with 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs to power its AI infrastructure.

The companies said that shipments supporting the first gigawatt deployment are set to begin in the second half of 2026. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but The Wall Street Journal reported it could be worth more than $100 billion.

Why This Matters to Investors

The agreement marks the latest in a string of high-profile deals for AMD in recent months, and could help boost confidence in the stock, long seen as playing second fiddle to AI chip leader Nvidia.

The move could see Meta owning up to 10% of AMD’s stock. As part of the transaction, AMD issued Meta a performance-based warrant for up to 160 million shares of its stock, “structured to vest as specific milestones associated with Instinct GPU shipments are achieved.” AMD currently has just over 1.6 billion outstanding shares.

Responding to concerns about potential dilution, AMD CEO Lisa Su told CNBC in a televised interview Tuesday that she views the deal as a “win-win” for shareholders, enabling a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity for AMD to tie its roadmap to one of the leaders in the AI market.

"We’re excited to form a long-term partnership with AMD to deploy efficient inference compute and deliver personal superintelligence,” Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a release. “This is an important step for Meta as we diversify our compute. I expect AMD to be an important partner for many years to come.”

With Tuesday’s gains, AMD shares have recovered most of their year-to-date losses amid a pullback in parts of the AI trade in recent months. Meta shares, which are down roughly 3.5% in 2026, edged lower Tuesday, while AMD rival Nvidia (NVDA), which reports its highly anticipated earnings Wednesday, ticked 0.3% higher.
