The Register meldt dat de aandelen AMD door de 40 dollar barrière zijn gebroken, nadat een grote investeerder in één keer 8 miljoen aandelen binnen harkte. Intel deed het ondertussen ook niet slecht: dankzij de positieve financiële resultaten, die vorige week werden aangekondigd, ondergingen de Intel aandelen een stijging van maar liefst 13%:
A Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing earlier this week showed that AMD stock has become hotter than fire, as yesterday its share price broke the $40 barrier.The filing, on a form SC13G, showed that on the 12th of January last, Friess Associates Inc, based in Jackson, Wyoming, bought 7,969,000 shares in the chip company. Friess Associates is an investment adviser.
[...] AMD's share price was around the $35 mark on the 12th of January. Its low point, in the last 52 weeks, was around $14 last April, but for months it rumbled along at $16, during the period it was launching its Athlon (K7) microprocessor. AMD reports its quarterly earnings next week.
Intel's share price shot up by $12 yesterday to close at over $103 on Wall Street, a rise of over 13 per cent, following a better than expected Q4.
