Intel stock hits a four-year high before earnings — here’s what could move INTC next

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 08:17 (EST) — Premarket Intel Corp shares rose 1.1% to $54.83 in premarket trading, following a sharp 11.7% jump on Wednesday that pushed the stock to $54.25 — marking its highest close since January 2022. (MarketWatch) Intel’s rally has drained some of the market’s patience ahead of earnings. The stock has made its move; now the report needs to back it up. Intel’s recent surge is driven by renewed confidence under CEO Lip-Bu Tan and growing demand from AI-driven data center expansions, which boost sales of its core server CPUs—those essential chips powering servers. “It’s

AI stocks today: Intel earnings, Nvidia export vote and rising memory prices in focus

AI stocks today: Intel earnings, Nvidia export vote and rising memory prices in focus

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 06:20 EST — Premarket Before Thursday’s U.S. open, AI stocks popped back into focus, led by chipmakers and their suppliers stirring early buzz. The reason this matters now is straightforward. The AI trade depends heavily on big spending for data centres, but it’s also caught up in Washington’s export restrictions and the climbing prices of crucial components found in everything from servers to laptops. Chipmakers led the charge Wednesday. Intel (INTC.O) surged 11.7% to $54.25. Nvidia (NVDA.O) gained roughly 3%, closing at $183.32. AMD (AMD.O) climbed 7.6% to $249.80. Micron (MU.O) added 6.6% to $389.11.

Intel stock (INTC) races into earnings after 12% jump — here’s what traders watch next

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 04:52 EST — Premarket Intel Corp shares caught attention ahead of Thursday’s session, surging 11.7% on Wednesday. The jump extends a strong January rally as investors prepare for the company’s upcoming quarterly report. That rally counts because Intel is on the brink of revealing if AI-driven data-center demand is actually boosting its core server-chip sales, and if its effort to make chips for third-party customers is gaining traction. The stock has surged ahead; now the earnings need to back it up. (Barron’s) Intel plans to release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results right after the

Applied Materials stock rebounds after tariff scare fades; what to watch next for AMAT

NEW YORK, Jan 21, 2026, 18:54 EST — After-hours Applied Materials shares climbed 2.2% to close at $325.24 Wednesday, with volume just over its 50-day average as the chip-equipment maker stayed near a recent peak. After-hours trading, which takes place electronically after 4 p.m., showed little movement in the stock. (MarketWatch) The rebound followed a wider relief rally after President Donald Trump announced he would hold off on tariffs set for Feb. 1 against European allies, linked to a framework deal on Greenland. “What is the economic impact is whether we all start imposing tariffs on each other,” said Jason

Intel stock jumps 12% ahead of earnings as Nvidia export bill raises new AI-stock risk

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 17:15 EST — After-hours trading underway. Intel shares jumped 11.7% to $54.25 on Wednesday, refocusing the AI-chip sector on one stock and one big question: is this rally real, or just wishful thinking? Intel’s quarterly earnings report drops Thursday, with investors keen to see if the AI-driven boom in data-center expansions is boosting demand for its server CPUs—those critical processors paired with GPUs in many AI systems. LSEG data compiled by Reuters shows Intel’s data-center revenue could surge over 30%, hitting $4.43 billion. This comes on the heels of a $5 billion cash injection from

Intel stock price jumps 11% ahead of earnings as upgrade drumbeat grows

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 16:00 EST — After-hours Intel Corp shares surged roughly 11% late Wednesday, climbing past the $54 mark. The stock gained $5.44 to settle at $54.00, having reached an intraday high of $54.13. This move is crucial as Intel is set to report earnings after the bell on Thursday. That report could reshape expectations for CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s turnaround plan. Investors are looking for signs that demand remains steady and that the company’s manufacturing expansion won’t erode profit margins. Options pricing indicated traders expected about an 8% move around the earnings report, even before Wednesday’s rally.

NEW YORK, January 21, 2026, 10:41 (EST) Intel investors are bracing for a volatile earnings week, with options markets pricing an about 8% move in the chipmaker’s shares after it reports quarterly results on Thursday. Options are contracts investors use to hedge — or bet on — near-term swings. (Investopedia) The report lands at an awkward moment: the stock has been running, and the turnaround story has picked up fresh believers. Intel’s shares have climbed in recent months, but expectations are climbing too, and a miss could land harder. The backdrop is bigger than one quarter. Chief executive Lip-Bu Tan
