AI Semiconductor Stocks Nvidia, AMD, Intel, and Broadcom Are Rebounding in Pre
Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Intel (INTC), and Broadcom (AVGO) rose in pre-market trading as AI infrastructure spending confidence grew. Bank of America increased its semiconductor industry growth forecast to 18% annually through 2030, expecting the U.S. market to reach $3.2 trillion by 2030. Broadcom's CEO reported strong and durable AI demand, with AI semiconductor revenue up 221% year-over-year.
