Wipro relocates Middle East regional HQ to Riyadh, signs MoU with Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University for CoE
Wipro Limited, a technology services and consulting company, has relocated its Middle East regional headquarters from Al Khobar to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The move strengthens Wipro's regional footprint, which includes offices in Riyadh, Al Khobar, Jeddah, and Jubail.
The new Riyadh office was officially inaugurated with the participation of Wipro executives, employees, and customers. This relocation aligns with the company's efforts to expand its operations and presence in Saudi Arabia.
In a related development, Wipro signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) in Riyadh. The CoE aims to provide academic training, practical experience, and access to Wipro's technology resources. It focuses on developing advanced technology skills among Saudi nationals to support local workforce development and meet industry demands.
This collaboration reflects ongoing efforts to enhance technology education and create a skilled talent pool in the region. The CoE will help prepare young professionals for emerging roles in technology and contribute to the kingdom's broader digital transformation goals.
Vinay Firake, CEO – Asia Pacific, India, Middle East & Africa (APMEA), Wipro Limited, stated, 'The establishment of our new regional headquarters in Riyadh reaffirms our commitment to supporting the dynamic business landscape in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This strategic move, combined with our ongoing involvement in supporting the goals of the Kingdom, aligns with our vision of driving sustained growth and a future-ready workforce in the region. This commitment is strengthened by the recent appointment of Mohamed Mousa as our new Managing Director for Wipro Middle East out of our Riyadh headquarters, which will further advance our decades-long presence in the Middle East.'

AMD Powers Through Challenges with Robust Data Center Expansion
June 11 - Last month, AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) posted stronger-than-expected quarterly results, beating both EPS and revenue forecasts. The company cited robust demand in its Data Center segment, which saw revenue jump 57% year on year and operating income rise 72%. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with AMD. Management offered upbeat guidance for the next quarter despite lingering macro challenges, including shifting tariffs and trade tensions. The Data Center unit, crucial to AMD's valuation, could exceed $20 billion in revenue for fiscal 2025, driven largely by AI chip sales. At its 2021 peak, AMD shares traded above $150; they're near $123 now, having climbed about 2% year to date. While AMD remains second to NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) in AI processors, expanding AI revenue share may boost margins and sentiment. New chip launches continue to draw positive third-party reviews. Analysts project AI chip sales could hit $13$15 billion in 2025, supported by large deals such as a reported $10 billion agreement with a Saudi AI startup. AMD's pricing edge and diversified customers may help narrow the gap with NVDA's leading offerings. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) remains a competitor in CPUs, but AMD's growing server market share underpins a higher valuation multiple. The company also unveiled an additional $6 billion share buyback, bringing total authorization to $10 billion. That may support the stock if AI-driven growth persists amid macro uncertainties. Based on the one year price targets offered by 41 analysts, the average target price for Advanced Micro Devices Inc is $129.18 with a high estimate of $200.00 and a low estimate of $95.00. The average target implies a upside of +4.82% from the current price of $123.24. Based on GuruFocus estimates, the estimated GF Value for Advanced Micro Devices Inc in one year is $165.20, suggesting a upside of +34.05% from the current price of $123.24.

BENGALURU, INDIA, June 11, 2025 / / -- Revolutionizing the business landscape in Saudi Arabia, data-driven transformations are enabling long-term viability of regional as well as multinational corporations.

In the wake of these developments, global data & AI giants' expansion into the Kingdom is considered strategic as the holy nation is gradually positioning itself as a leader in MENA's digital economy.
