Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) Turns a $400 Million High-NA Tool Into a Manufacturing Hedge

Intel Corporation has begun high-volume production of a subset of Panther Lake laptop chips using ASML Holding N.V.’s High NA EUV system, making it the first chipmaker to ship a volume logic product with the technology.

Top Stocks to Watch Now: The Bank-and-Chip Test That Could Decide Wall Street’s Next Move

Top Stocks to Watch Now: The Bank-and-Chip Test That Could Decide Wall Street’s Next Move

Wall Street’s next move hinges on whether profits can broaden beyond artificial intelligence, not on another easy headline beat. The answer is cautiously positive, but the bar is high: year-forward S&P 500 earnings estimates have risen 21% in 2026, roughly twice the index’s gain, while projected second-quarter profit growth has been revised to 23.4% from 15.2% in January.

The answer still hinges on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. defending its high-growth, heavy-investment outlook. Guidance — management’s forecast for coming quarters — matters more now than another round of backward-looking beats.
