Nvidia Stock Rebounds Today as AI Chip Buyers Face a Fresh Test

Nvidia shares rose about 1.9% to $209.07 in Monday afternoon trading, clawing back part of Friday’s slide as investors moved back into chip stocks. The stock traded between $206.07 and $210.75, leaving the company’s market value near $5.1 trillion. The move matters because Nvidia remains the main gauge for Wall Street’s AI trade — the cluster of stocks tied to spending on artificial intelligence. Its graphics processing units, or GPUs, are chips used to handle the heavy calculations behind large AI systems.

Nvidia Faces Weekend After Microsoft PC Move—Monday Tone in Focus

Nvidia is set for another test next week after closing out a short trading week on a weaker note. The company’s shares closed at $211.14 on Friday, off 1.45% for the day and down roughly 1.9% from May 22. Reuters said Saturday that Nvidia and Microsoft are planning to show off the first Windows PCs running on Nvidia chips as the main processor next week. Timing is key as investors want another piece of evidence after Nvidia’s last results pushed expectations even higher. Nvidia posted record Q1 revenue at $81.6 billion, up 85% from a year ago. Data-centre revenue jumped 92% to $75.2 billion. The company also announced an $80 billion buyback and raised its dividend to 25 cents from

AMD Stock Gets Wall Street Reset as AI Server Demand Rewrites the Chip Race

Advanced Micro Devices picked up new backing from Wall Street after posting a better-than-anticipated first quarter. Both Goldman Sachs and Bernstein bumped AMD up, citing a brighter AI server demand picture that now extends AMD’s prospects past graphics chips and deeper into CPUs. This shift is notable: the AI play is starting to stretch past GPUs — the graphics chips behind training and running large models. Now, server CPUs are showing up on analysts' radar. These central processors do the heavy lifting on general computing, and as “agentic AI” software takes on more hands-off tasks, demand for compute is climbing throughout corporate tech stacks.

AMD Stock Rally Hits a New Intel Problem After Apple Chip Deal Report

Advanced Micro Devices’ strong run is hitting a fresh snag tied to Intel. Now, investors have to juggle AMD’s AI server gains with a reported Apple manufacturing agreement that might boost faith in Intel’s foundry—or contract chipmaking—operations. The clock’s ticking. AMD delivered upbeat results and bumped up its outlook for AI-fueled server sales. Intel, meanwhile, jumped Friday, buoyed by a Wall Street Journal story flagging a tentative chipmaking agreement with Apple. With U.S. markets shuttered Sunday morning, traders are left waiting for the next move once trading kicks back in. AMD finished at $455.19, a gain of 11.4%. Intel closed at $124.92, up 13.9%.

Stock Market Today: S&P 500 Falls From Record Highs as Iran Oil Shock Returns

Stocks in the U.S. pulled back from their record highs on Thursday, with oil prices spiking after the market closed. Fresh U.S.-Iran tensions put pressure on the “peace trade” that had fueled Wall Street’s gains earlier in the week. By the end of the session, the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all slipped into the red as earlier momentum faded. Timing is key here—investors are framing the Iran talks through the lens of inflation, not only geopolitics. A durable agreement might relieve crude supply strains through the Strait of Hormuz, that slim Gulf passage moving roughly a fifth of the world’s oil and gas before the conflict. But another escalation risks holding fuel prices and bond yields up.

AMD Stock Jumps as AI Demand Sends Q2 Forecast Past Wall Street

SANTA CLARA, California, May 5, 2026, 14:02 Advanced Micro Devices shares jumped 5.5% after hours on Tuesday, with the chipmaker projecting second-quarter revenue of roughly $11.2 billion, give or take $300 million—easily topping the $10.52 billion analysts had expected, according to LSEG. The upbeat guidance comes as demand for AMD’s data-center chips—key components in artificial intelligence systems—remains robust.

AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D Still Leads Gaming CPU Charts, but New Benchmarks Show Slim Upgrade Gains

AMD’s Zen 5 X3D lineup continues to lead desktop gaming benchmarks, but the latest reviews suggest the margin over previous X3D models is narrowing. TechSpot’s 14-game test suite showed up to a 64% gap between Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 X3D chips—a finding echoed by both VideoCardz and eTeknix. NotebookCheck also kept the Ryzen 7 9850X3D at the top for gaming, though it’s just 2% to 3% faster than the 9800X3D, according to their numbers. This is key right now as AMD works to hang on to two camps of desktop buyers: gamers sticking with the older AM4 motherboards, and those moving to the new AM5 socket. The X3D CPUs feature 3D V-Cache technology—a stacked cache layer meant to boost
