SMGB.L is trading 5.4% up today as the broader semiconductor sector rebounds from a recent AI-driven selloff, supported by strong tech earnings and cooling inflation.

  • Stronger-than-expected earnings from Microsoft and other mega-cap technology firms have significantly improved investor risk appetite and market sentiment.
  • Cooling U.S. PCE inflation data and stable Federal Reserve policy are providing a tailwind for growth-sensitive semiconductor shares.
  • The recovery follows a period where geopolitical tensions and valuation concerns previously weighed on the global chip industry.
