nLIGHT is trading 5.3% up at $69.22 as the stock extends a sharp rebound alongside a broader rally in the semiconductor sector.

  • The advance follows an 11% surge on July 30, 2026, fueled by robust earnings from industry peers Samsung and Lam Research that strengthened confidence in AI chip and equipment demand.
  • With the SOXX semiconductor index rising over 5%, the move is largely attributed to sector-wide momentum rather than new company-specific developments.
