Why Advanced Micro Devices Stock Is Falling Today

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) shares are trading lower amid overall market weakness. Weakness may also be due to reports of the EU nearing a Chips Act to reduce reliance on US and China semiconductors.

Additionally, The European Union is near finalizing a deal on Chips Act next month. According to a Reuters article, the EU's 43 billion euro ($47 billion USD) plan to boost its semiconductor industry is likely to be finalized on April 18. The proposed legislation aims to grow the EU's share in the global chip market to 20% in the next decade, following the United State's lead which passed the CHIPS for America Act in 2022. Increased investment in European-based semiconductor companies could decrease AMD's market share in the region.

Advanced Micro Devices designs microprocessors for the computer and consumer electronics industries. The majority of its sales are in the personal computer and data center markets via CPUs and GPUs.
