AI Chip Stocks Nvidia, Intel, AMD Rebound in Premarket After Thursday’s Bloodbath — What’s Behind the Recovery?
Nvidia (NVDA), Intel (INTC), Broadcom (AVGO), and AMD (AMD) rose in premarket trading after sharp declines on Thursday. The initial drop was due to concerns about stricter AI data center regulations following midterm election results. Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa's comments on data center regulations may have eased some investor worries, contributing to the rebound. Nvidia and Intel hit their lowest levels since April.
