  "account": "US semiconductor manufacturer AMD has achieved a $1 trillion (€850bn) valuation milestone, joining the elite club of trillion-dollar companies, as investors pour money into firms profiting from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Shares of the California-based firm rose 9.4% on Monday, closing at $612 (€520), marking a $200 billion (€170bn) valuation increase in just one week.\n\nAMD has formed partnerships with AI leaders OpenAI and Anthropic, driving a 50% increase in revenue for the second quarter compared to the same period last year, reaching $11.5 billion (€9.8bn). The surge in data center revenue contributed significantly to this growth, with AMD reporting a more than doubling of data center revenue.\n\nAMD's management expects data center sales to grow further in the second half of 2026, as highlighted in their earnings release in early August. However, AMD's valuation remains considerably lower than that of rival chipmaker Nvidia, which is widely regarded as the industry leader in AI. Nvidia's valuation stands at approximately $5.5 trillion (€4.7trn), highlighting the significant gap in market value between the two companies despite AMD's recent impressive gains.",
  "summary": "AMD has become the latest trillion-dollar company, as the AI investment boom sends its shares soaring and data-centre demand fuels record growth.",
