Sanmina completed its acquisition of ZT Group Int'l, Inc. (ZT Systems), a provider of AI and general-purpose compute infrastructure, from an AMD subsidiary on October 27, 2025. The deal was paid for with $2.4 billion in cash, 1,151,052 Sanmina shares valued at $150 million, and new borrowings under an amended credit agreement, so the company now carries significantly more debt.
