Advanced Micro Devices is trading 3.5% up at $501.56 in pre-market as semiconductor stocks rally alongside stronger index futures and tech leadership.

  • The move is driven by investor anticipation ahead of the company's Q2 earnings report, scheduled for release after the market close.
  • Sentiment is further supported by a recent bullish analyst note on chipmakers, helping the stock rebound from the sharp sector-wide sell-off seen in July.
