  • AI Growth Stocks Like AMD Drive Nasdaq's Rally Amid $700 Billion Data Center Spending
    April 27, 2026, 5:20 PM EDT. Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are propelling a Nasdaq Composite comeback after a March correction. Fueled by plans of five firms to invest around $700 billion in data center capital expenditure this year, the sector's growth shows no signs of slowing. Despite geopolitical tensions near the Strait of Hormuz, key chipmaking materials like helium are unlikely to disrupt AI chip production, which takes priority at foundries. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) leads in data center CPUs, essential for emerging agentic AI that requires high-performance processing cores. AMD's new high-core-count CPUs and strategic GPU partnerships with Meta and OpenAI position it well for sustained growth. Meanwhile, Intel's strong Q1 results highlight the rising importance of CPUs amid shifting data center configurations, underscoring the critical role of these AI infrastructure leaders in the ongoing rebound.
