Think It's Too Late to Buy AMD? Here's the Biggest Reason Why There's Still Time.
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD), better known simply as AMD, is often overlooked by investors, as it has a distant second-place market share to leading chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) in the AI-fueled data center accelerator market.
There are several reasons why AMD stock should be on your radar right now. CEO Lisa Su has established a long track record of outperforming expectations. The company's recent data center chips are gaining impressive traction. And AMD has been steadily taking PC market share from long-time leader Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) for years.
However, the biggest reason why it's not too late to buy AMD right now is because of the long-tailed growth potential in some of its core markets.
AMD's market growth
Here are a few projections for AMD's core markets from reputable analytical firms:
Data center capital expenditure is expected to roughly double over the next three years, and according to Grand View Research; the data center accelerator market is expected to grow from about $34 billion in revenue last year to $166 billion by 2030.
The gaming GPU market is estimated to be a $5 billion opportunity today, but is expected to more than 6x in size by 2030, according to Mordor Intelligence.
The automotive GPU market is expected to be a $45 billion market by 2030, according to Virtue Market Research, a 33% annualized growth rate.
Overall, the global GPU market (which is only one type of chip AMD makes) is expected to grow from $62 billion in 2024 to over $460 billion by 2032, a 29% annualized growth rate.
The bottom line is that even if AMD simply maintains its current market share, revenue growth could be extremely strong for the foreseeable future.

Republican senate tax bill would add $3.3 trillion to the U.S. debt load, CBO says
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., joined at left by Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., the GOP whip, speaks to reporters following closed-door party meetings at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, June 17, 2025. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) WASHINGTON — The changes made to U.S. President Donald Trump's big tax bill in the Senate would pile trillions onto the nation's debt load while resulting in even steeper losses in health care coverage, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said in a new analysis, adding to the challenges for Republicans as they try to muscle the bill to passage. The CBO estimates the Senate bill would increase the deficit by nearly $3.3 trillion from 2025 to 2034, a nearly $1 trillion increase over the House-passed bill, which CBO has projected would add $2.4 to the debt over a decade. The analysis also found that 11.8 million more Americans would become uninsured by 2034 if the bill became law, an increase over the scoring for the House-passed version of the bill, which predicts 10.9 million more people would be without health coverage. The stark numbers are yet another obstacle for Republican leaders as they labor to pass Trump's bill by his self-imposed July 4th deadline. Even before the CBO's estimate, Republicans were at odds over the contours of the legislation, with some resisting the cost-saving proposals to reduce spending on Medicaid and food aid programs even as other Republicans say those proposals don't go far enough. Republicans are slashing the programs as a way to help cover the cost of extending some $3.8 trillion in Trump tax breaks put in place during his first term. The push-pull was on vivid display Saturday night as a routine procedural vote to take up the legislation in the Senate was held open for hours as Vice President JD Vance and Republican leaders met with several holdouts. The bill ultimately advanced in a 51-49 vote, but the path ahead is fraught, with voting on amendments still to come. Still, many Republicans are disputing the CBO estimates and the reliability of the office's work. To hoist the bill to passage, they are using a different budget baseline that assumes the Trump tax cuts expiring in December have already been extended, essentially making them cost-free in the budget. The CBO on Saturday released a separate analysis of the GOP's preferred approach that found the Senate bill would reduce deficits by about $500 billion. Democrats and economists decry the GOP's approach as 'magic math' that obscures the true costs of the GOP tax breaks. In addition, Democrats note that under the traditional scoring system, the Republican bill bill would violate the Senate's 'Byrd Rule' that forbids the legislation from increasing deficits after 10 years. In a Sunday letter to Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, the top Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, CBO Director Phillip Swagel said the office estimates that the Finance Committee's portion of the bill, also known as Title VII, 'increases the deficits in years after 2034' under traditional scoring.

Every July 1, the Brockville Pipe and Drum Corps leads a parade from City Hall to Court House Avenue, but this year will be a bit different. The parade will march even further along King St., heading to Hardy Park where a ceremony will be held to celebrate the country's 158th year. That will allow businesses like O'Malley's to get more involved with the parade than years prior. 'It's really appreciated by all the downtown businesses,' says Scarlett. 'It brings people from the North end of Brockville downtown, gets us exposure.' More details to come Canada Day cake Canada Day written on a cake in Brockville, Ont. on June 29, 2025.

Three-week DHL Express Canada lockout and strike end with new four-year contact ratified
Canada's largest private sector union says a three-week lockout and strike at DHL Express Canada is ending after workers ratified a new agreement. Article content Unifor says the four-year agreement reached with the delivery company was ratified with 72 per cent support from members. Article content The agreement impacts more than 2,100 DHL Express Canada employees who work as truck drivers, couriers and in warehouse and clerical roles. Article content Article content 'I am so proud of all the members of the national bargaining committee for standing strong and fighting for the respect they deserved,' Unifor National President Lana Payne said in a news release Saturday that announced the results of the ratification vote. Article content Article content 'We are excited to resume our operations and welcome back all our team members. Together, we'll prioritize delivering the highest quality service to our customers,' the company's statement said. Article content The workers were locked out after midnight on June 8 and went on strike hours later. The company and the union, who had been negotiating for close to a year, sparred over the use of replacement workers as federal legislation banning the practice took effect during the work stoppage. Article content The German-owned courier, whose 50,000 customers in Canada include Lululemon, Shein and Siemens, continued operations for the first dozen days of the work stoppage and then shut down operations early on the morning of June 20, the same day the legislation took effect. Article content Article content The company tied the shutdown to stalled negotiations as well as the revised rules, which bar new hires from filling the role of federally regulated employees who are on strike or locked out. Article content Article content Payne had accused the company of bringing in replacement workers — a claim DHL hadn't denied. She said the move was legal at the time, but was undermining fair wages. Article content Unifor said the ratified contract includes a 15.75 per cent wage hike, pension increases for hourly workers and a new pension for owner-operators. Article content It said the agreement also features increases to short- and long-term disability payments, new mental-health benefits, a rise in severance and updated language around artificial intelligence, robotics and work-from-home policies. Article content The union said the DHL workers will return to work after the ratification, but offered no definite timeline. It thanked the public for its patience as workers resolve the backlog of packages and deliveries. Article content
