There have only been 10 U.S.-listed stocks that have breached this valuation level, and there are a few more within striking distance. <\/p>\n<p>However, one stock that&#8217;s a bit far away is Advanced Micro Devices (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/amd\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AMD<\/a> +0.53%). AMD has a market cap of $330 billion, so it may not be on investors&#8217; radar for crossing into the $1 trillion valuation range. However, AMD&#8217;s hardware is starting to become more popular in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/a\/artificial-intelligence\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) world, and it may get there faster than many think.<\/p>\n<p>How quickly can AMD reach $1 trillion? Well, if its projections come true, it could be there in as little as four years.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Image of an engineer standing in a data center.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768421357_597_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n<p>AMD is getting a second shot at Nvidia<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/nvda\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NVDA<\/a> 2.13%) is the undisputed king of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/g\/gpu\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">graphics processing units (GPUs)<\/a>. GPUs are well-suited for AI workloads, as they can process multiple calculations in parallel. At the start of the AI boom in 2023, Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs, the controlling software, and other hardware that supports them were far superior to AMD&#8217;s. As a result, Nvidia&#8217;s products became the go-to option, while AMD&#8217;s only became an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>However, those trends are shifting. AMD has made massive improvements in its control software, ROCm. It noted a 10 times increase in downloads year over year in November 2025. That&#8217;s a big deal because it shows that developers are exploring their hardware. This could be a signal that AMD&#8217;s products are starting to become a viable alternative, and may be ready to steal some market share away from Nvidia.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Advanced Micro Devices Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768421357_180_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(0.53%) $1.18<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$222.15<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$360B<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$215.16 &#8211; $224.08<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$76.48 &#8211; $267.08<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>1.2M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>44M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>44.33%<\/p>\n<p>There is only so much money available to build <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/d\/data-center\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">data centers<\/a>. Computing hardware can be nearly half of the cost to build them, and while Nvidia&#8217;s products are the best, they aren&#8217;t cheap.<\/p>\n<p>There aren&#8217;t readily available prices on flagship GPUs for data centers, and these numbers are estimates from reports. Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell B200 GPU can cost between $30,000 and $50,000 per chip, depending on options. Its AMD rival, the MI350, costs $25,000. This allows AI hyperscalers to get more bang for the buck for cloud GPUs, but it remains to be seen if this cheaper price tag is worth it from a performance side.<\/p>\n<p>However, AI hyperscalers may not have a choice on whether they want to use AMD&#8217;s chips anymore. During Nvidia&#8217;s Q3 results, the company announced that it was &#8220;sold out&#8221; of cloud GPUs. While this may sound like a good problem to have, the bigger issue is that customers may turn to AMD&#8217;s products as an alternative if they cannot get the computing power that they need from Nvidia. If AMD&#8217;s products can deliver similar results at a lower price tag, this could create a scenario where more clients choose AMD&#8217;s hardware in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The ball is back in AMD&#8217;s court for getting a second shot at securing a dominant position in the AI revolution. And management believes they can secure massive growth.<\/p>\n<p>AMD&#8217;s long-term projections are impressive<\/p>\n<p>AMD unveiled its five-year outlook for the company, and the expectations are high. Management believes the data center division could grow revenue at a 60% <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/c\/compound-annual-growth-rate\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">compound annual growth rate (CAGR)<\/a>. That&#8217;s impressive, and far higher than what it has put up in the past.<\/p>\n<p>However, AMD isn&#8217;t all about data center GPUs. It has a large client and gaming segment as well as an embedded processor division. Both of these sements are expected to grow at a 10% CAGR over the next five years, which brings AMD&#8221;s expected CAGR over the next five years to 35%. But that&#8217;s more than enough to propel AMD into the trillion-dollar club.<\/p>\n<p>Should AMD&#8217;s growth be steady at 35% over the next few years, it would take a little under four years to reach this goal. But that&#8217;s just considering revenue growth. If AMD&#8217;s margins improve over the next few years, it could reach the trillion-dollar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/m\/market-cap\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">market cap<\/a> even sooner. I think AMD is a sure bet to reach the trillion-dollar club in under five years because that would represent the stock tripling in three years, which makes it a great stock to scoop up today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AMD could regain some AI market share from Nvidia.
