AMD slips as tech rally pauses; Nvidia-Intel filing puts chip sector back in focus
NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:54 ET — Regular session Advanced Micro Devices shares edged lower in early trading on Monday, dipping 0.3% to $214.42 after touching an intraday low of $209.42. The move mattered because the market is entering the final, holiday-thinned stretch of the year, when small shifts in risk appetite can swing high-growth technology names. Semiconductor stocks have been at the center of the AI-driven rally and remain sensitive to any change in rates and spending expectations. Reuters+1 AMD is one of the sector’s key bellwethers, sitting between Nvidia in AI accelerators and Intel in server processors.
