AMD is now worth $1 trillion. The U.S. chipmaker joined an elite club on Wednesday as its stock price hit a record high, driven by soaring demand for artificial intelligence (AI) processors.
Only a handful of companies have reached this milestone, including Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft. AMD's rise shows how the AI boom is reshaping the global tech industry.
In other market news, crude oil prices fell sharply. Traders pointed to weaker demand forecasts and rising supplies. The drop offers some relief to consumers and businesses facing high energy costs.
Investors are now watching whether AMD can hold its new valuation — and whether the AI rally has more room to run.
