Intel stock pops after KeyBanc upgrade, $60 target as AI server demand tightens

Intel stock pops after KeyBanc upgrade, $60 target as AI server demand tightens

Intel shares surged roughly 6% Tuesday following KeyBanc Capital Markets’ upgrade to “overweight,” signaling expectations for the stock to outperform. The firm also raised its price target to $60. Intel’s stock climbed 6.4% to $46.88 in late morning deals. The call comes as Intel is already on a hot streak, soaring 27% this year after an 84% jump in 2025, with investors hunting for the next AI-driven winners. KeyBanc’s John Vinh described Intel’s AI efforts as still “nascent,” but noted the company is gaining traction thanks to growing data-center investments.

SMCI stock slides after Goldman starts Super Micro at Sell and flags margin downside

SMCI stock slides after Goldman starts Super Micro at Sell and flags margin downside

Shares of Super Micro Computer fell on Tuesday after Goldman Sachs assumed coverage of the AI-server maker with a Sell rating, warning profit margins could weaken further even as demand for artificial intelligence hardware stays strong. The stock was down about 6.0% at $28.31 as of 10:51 a.m. EST. The call lands at a touchy moment for Super Micro, which sits in the middle of the AI buildout but is being judged less on how fast it ships boxes and more on what it keeps after costs. For a stock that can move on a single note, the question is simple: can it grow without giving away the economics.

Intel stock jumps near 6% on KeyBanc upgrade — and a filing shows a big holder cut back

Intel shares climbed 5.9% to $46.64 by 11:07 a.m. EST Tuesday, on roughly 69 million shares traded. Advanced Micro Devices also jumped, up 5.0% in early trading. Intel’s surge is significant because its strong start to the year has morphed into a showdown between optimism over “AI spillover” and lingering doubts about its execution. Server demand linked to AI investments has emerged as a key measure, with traders scrutinizing each data point as a verdict on the company’s prospects.

Intel and AMD stocks jump after KeyBanc upgrade flags “sold out” AI server chips

Intel and Advanced Micro Devices shares climbed in early U.S. trading on Tuesday after KeyBanc Capital Markets upgraded both chipmakers, arguing demand from big cloud data-center buyers is running ahead of supply. The move matters because investors have been hunting for more winners from the AI buildout beyond the usual suspects. A call that server chips are effectively booked out for 2026 feeds that narrative — and suggests pricing power is back in parts of the market.

Alphabet Inc briefly touched a $4 trillion market cap on Monday, joining the ranks of mega-cap tech giants hitting that benchmark as investors rallied behind its expanded AI efforts.

Hong Kong market watchdog David Webb dies at 60, leaving small investors without their loudest critic

Hong Kong market watchdog David Webb dies at 60, leaving small investors without their loudest critic

Hong Kong activist investor David Webb, best known for running the Webb-site.com database and for his “Enigma Network” stock report, has died aged 60, according to a notice posted on one of his social media accounts. The post said he “passed away peacefully in Hong Kong” from metastatic prostate cancer. Webb built a following among investors and market professionals by publishing blunt critiques of companies and regulators, and by compiling corporate and market data that was free to the public. In 2020, he said he would step back after a prostate cancer diagnosis but added: “don’t count me out yet,” while estimating he had sent more than 1,000 letters to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing and the Securities and Futures Commission.
