AMD shares rose nearly 4% on Monday as semiconductor stocks rebounded from a sharp sell-off the previous week, helped by lower Treasury yields and easing oil prices. At 10:26 a.m. Eastern time, AMD was up $19.91, or 3.77%, at $548.66, after closing Friday at about $528.75, and the company released no company-specific news. The iShares Semiconductor ETF had fallen nearly 12% last week, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index posted an eight-session losing streak, its longest since 2008, wiping out close to $2 trillion in sector market value. The selloff was partly driven by worries over heavy AI infrastructure spending and debt, with CoreWeave falling more than 25%. AMD is expected to report third-quarter results in the coming weeks, and analysts say the rebound's durability will depend on interest rates, oil prices and confidence in AI spending.

- Intel and AMD Rise 4% as JPMorgan Upgrades Intel After Steep Pullback; NVIDIA Edges Higher
JPMorgan upgraded Intel (INTC) to Neutral from Underweight after its steep slide from a June peak, and Intel shares rose 4% to $93.68, while AMD gained 4% to $547.23 and NVIDIA rose 2% to $217.97. Analyst Harlan Sur says Intel's execution has improved since Lip-Bu Tan became CEO and expects agentic AI workloads and a tight leading-edge chip supply to drive positive earnings estimate revisions. He still expects Intel to lose market share for a few more quarters, especially in server processors, leaving the risk and reward more balanced. Intel's third-quarter 2026 results are slated for release after the market closes on October 29, a date the company has not confirmed.
- Spotlight on Levered Chip Financing Heightens: What is Happening at Nvidia and AMD?
CoreWeave's slump has put a spotlight on how NVIDIA and AMD are funding the AI chip boom: NVIDIA is backing customers with its own balance sheet, while AMD signs gigawatt deals with no disclosed financing support. NVIDIA's revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year on year, but its total debt rose to $38.86 billion at July 31 from $12.81 billion in April. AMD's revenue rose 50.1% to $11.54 billion, and Anthropic will deploy up to 2 gigawatts of MI450 GPUs in Helios racks. The author sees NVIDIA's risk as more visible at roughly 43x earnings, while AMD at 199x could be hurt by any Helios delay. AMD shares are up 146.89% year to date, versus 15.08% for NVIDIA.
- AMD Stock Is Up Over 140% This Year. I'd Still Buy It Before Its Nov. 3 Report.
AMD shares are up more than 140% this year at around $530, but have fallen about 19% from their record close of $649.42 on Oct. 6, ahead of the Nov. 3 third-quarter report. AMD has consistently beaten its own guidance, and management expects third-quarter revenue of $12.7 billion to $13.3 billion with a non-GAAP gross margin of about 56%. The data center segment made up 58% of second-quarter revenue, but year-over-year growth may slow against a much tougher comparison; CEO Lisa Su said the Helios AI rack system begins ramping in the third quarter and steps up in the fourth. At about 34 times expected 2027 earnings, down from about 41 times at the record close, the author sees the stock as attractive and suggests a starter position with room to add if the price falls.
- INTC, AMD, MU, SNDK: US Chip Stocks Rebound After Worst Week Since March
U.S. chip stocks rebounded over the weekend after their worst week since March, as investors repositioned ahead of third-quarter earnings from Tesla, Netflix and Meta. Intel and AMD each rose about 2.6% in overnight trading, while Micron and SanDisk gained 1.8% and 2.6%, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) rose 2.4% after an 11.8% drop the previous week. In a Nikkei interview, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said the company was “80% done” with its restructuring and pointed to AI chip packaging and ASICs as growth areas. Intel also unveiled its GPU D-series with up to 480GB of memory, which according to TechRadar surpasses the 288GB of Nvidia's Blackwell Ultra B300 for data center GPU memory capacity. Stocktwits sentiment was bullish on SOXX, bearish on INTC, neutral on AMD and bullish on MU and SNDK, while one trader warned of possible further downside before a bounce and advised caution with long positions until last week's high is broken.

- Securities firm names 2 companies directly benefiting from proposed fertilizer export tax cut
MBS views the Ministry of Finance's proposal to cut export tariffs on urea, superphosphate and sulphate of potash (SOP) from 5% to 0% as a positive factor for the fertilizer sector, though the effective date has not yet been set. Đạm Cà Mau (DCM) is seen as the biggest beneficiary, with estimated savings of about VND 203 billion per year (9.2% of 2025 pre-tax profit), as urea accounted for about 59.7% of its sales volume in the first eight months of 2026. Đạm Phú Mỹ (DPM) is estimated to save about VND 93 billion per year (6.9%), a smaller benefit than DCM. LAS's benefit is limited, DDV does not benefit directly, and BFC could face cost pressure if domestic urea prices rise.
- Why Palantir Technologies Stock Rallied Today
