Bhattacharya’s higher price target for Sanmina comes after a deal was announced between Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and ChatGPT creator OpenAI (PC:OPAIQ). This deal is worth billions for AMD and will have it supplying OpenAI with chips for its AI cloud computing servers.
Sanmina plays into this deal as it’s a partner of AMD. The company signed an agreement with AMD earlier this year to acquire the infrastructure manufacturing business of ZT Systems for $2.55 billion. AMD also named the company its preferred NPI manufacturing partner for the deployment of AMD AI rack and cluster-scale systems for cloud customers in this agreement. According to Bhattacharya, Sanmina expects ZT Systems to contribute between $5 billion and $6 billion in annual revenue once integrated.
