July 3 (Reuters) -

Chip designer Ambiq Micro filed for a U.S. stock market

listing on Thursday, as strong investor demand for AI-focused

technology stocks helps revive the IPO market.

The move comes as the market shows signs of recovery, with

investors once again warming to high-growth tech startups they

had largely avoided for nearly three years.

Analysts expect companies tied to the AI boom to drive the

next wave of tech listings, fueled by expectations of rapid

growth as businesses adopt more generative AI applications.

Ambiq said it will list on the NYSE under the symbol "AMBQ",

joining a wave of chip design firms that are central to the AI

boom, as their processors help power the growing demand for

faster and more efficient computing.

BofA Securities and UBS are the lead underwriters for the

offering.
