A five-month rally in MediaTek Inc. looks set to extend as booming demand for smartphones and a promising new AI chip brighten the company’s outlook.
The Taiwanese tech firm’s stock has soared almost 40% since the end of June, outperforming a 2% advance in the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index and a 7% rise in its US-based rival Qualcomm Inc. The gains have been fueled by robust appetite for mobile devices that utilize the company’s chips, especially in China.
