The thesis — published September 24, 2025
AMD is riding the wave of spending to build AI systems. Its deeper deal with Cohere means AMD's Instinct chips will run more company AI tools, a real-world vote of confidence.

Over the next 0-3 months, buying on dips toward the recent average price could set up a move back to prior highs as products gain traction, while staying mindful of strong competition.

- Cohere chose AMD's Instinct chips for company AI, proving real demand
