Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) shares increased by 3.02% in pre-market trading, reaching a 20-day high.
The stock's rise comes amid a broader recovery in the technology sector, where AMD's performance was bolstered by positive market sentiment following a rebound in tech stocks. Notably, AMD's shares gained approximately 9% as investors regained confidence in semiconductor companies, particularly after geopolitical tensions eased, leading to renewed optimism in the market.
This upward movement reflects AMD's strong position in the semiconductor industry, supported by ongoing demand for AI and computing technologies, which are expected to drive future growth.
