Foolish take
For CCM Investment Advisers to begin investing in AMD at this time is noteworthy because stocks in the artificial intelligence sector have been hot for some time now. Moreover, CCM already held shares in AI chip leader Nvidia, so why did it jump into AMD now?
The AI market went into overdrive in the third quarter of 2025 after Nvidia announced blockbuster deals with Intel and OpenAI. The British government also partnered with OpenAI in the quarter to expand AI infrastructure capacity in the country.
A rising tide lifts all boats, as the saying goes, so CCM could be anticipating AMD's growth amidst this environment. In fact, AMD announced its own partnership with OpenAI on Oct. 6. The partnership involves the semiconductor giant providing a massive number of its products to the ChatGPT creator, and is projected to deliver billions of dollars in revenue to AMD over the coming years.
As a result, AMD shares soared to an all-time high exceeding $240 on Oct. 9. While the company is a good investment and the stock has pulled back from its record high, it's worth waiting to see if the share price retreats further before deciding to buy.
