Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) are rising Monday morning after a supply-chain report indicated AMD has notified partners of a 10% price increase planned for the fourth quarter, tied to higher wafer costs at its foundry partner. AMD stock is at $586.66, up 5%, reading the report as pricing power rather than a cost problem. The account describes the increase as covering AI accelerator chips, consumer graphics processors and motherboard chipsets, and AMD hasn't confirmed it.
AMD is leading the chip complex this morning. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) is trading at $546.15, up 2%. The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) sits at $728.65, up 1.1%, so chips are running ahead of the broad NASDAQ 100 backdrop.
