Intel (INTC) Stock Soars to Multi-Year High on AI Hype, Big Backers – What’s Next?
Intel shares traded near $37 on Oct. 20, 2025, close to a two-year high after surging 85% year-to-date. The rally follows a $10 billion U.S. government stake and Nvidia’s $5 billion investment. Despite AI-driven optimism and major partnership rumors, Intel remains unprofitable, posting an $18.8 billion loss in 2024. Analysts are divided, with most price targets below current levels.
