The AI and tech sectors are buzzing with activity. Oppenheimer has increased its price target for Meta Platforms to $775, citing an improved advertising environment, though noting TikTok's performance and Meta's AI development as potential risks. Meta's projected spending is substantial, estimated at $68 billion in 2025 and $85 billion in 2026. AMD is gaining recognition as a key player in AI, with BofA naming it the "next-best AI vendor" and setting a price target of $130. AMD recently unveiled its Instinct MI400 series AI chips, slated for release next year, with OpenAI's Sam Altman providing input on their development. AMD's partnerships include Meta, Oracle, Microsoft, xAI, OpenAI, and Saudi Arabia’s AI startup Humain. Meanwhile, Nebius Group NV NBIS, backed by Nvidia, is exhibiting a bullish golden cross signal, with its stock price up nearly 145% over the past year, signaling strong upward momentum as it aims to become a major AI infrastructure company. Elon Musk's xAI is seeking $4.3 billion in equity funding, in addition to $5 billion it is trying to borrow, to fuel its AI initiatives after having spent most of its initial funding. Finally, Micron anticipates significant growth in its fiscal Q3 2025 earnings, driven by robust demand for AI and High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products, with revenue projected to reach $8.885 billion.
