On July 21, GLOBALFOUNDRIES rose 5.26% in pre-market trading to $59.5 per share, with turnover of $239,200. The move was driven by a broad semiconductor sector rally as AI infrastructure demand continued to accelerate.

On the news front, AMD launched its first rack-level AI system Helios with Microsoft joining the procurement lineup, while Hut 8 signed computing power lease agreements totaling $9.8 billion, signaling sustained expansion in AI infrastructure investment. These developments lifted the entire semiconductor supply chain, with sector peers Micron Technology up 6.14%, Intel up 5.63%, AMD up 4.09%, NVIDIA up 1.2%, and SK hynix up 6.24%.

As a leading pure-play foundry, GLOBALFOUNDRIES has strengthened its AI positioning through recent strategic moves, including completing the acquisition of Synopsys' ARC Processor IP Solutions business, signing a partnership with the US Department of Energy's Genesis Mission for AI semiconductor collaboration, and expanding its enterprise IT operations partnership with Infosys. Analyst firm Arete upgraded the stock to Buy with a $95 price target in June. The company is scheduled to report Q2 results on August 5.
