Advanced Micro Devices shares climbed as investors reacted to reports that the company is in advanced talks to supply 10,000 MI355 AI accelerators to South Korean startup Upstage, a potential deal seen as strong global validation of AMD’s AI strategy. The stock also rode a wider semiconductor rebound, helped by easing U.S.-Iran tensions and upbeat views on its fast-growing data center business.
Further lifting sentiment, AMD’s central processing units are set for price hikes of about 10% to 15%, reflecting tight supply conditions across the chip industry. Traders see the planned increases as a sign of solid demand and improving pricing power, adding another catalyst for the stock’s latest move higher.
