Intel stock ticks higher after Nvidia’s $5 billion stake is finalized

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:19 ET — Regular session Intel Corp (INTC.O) shares edged higher on Monday after the chipmaker disclosed that Nvidia (NVDA.O) has completed a $5 billion purchase of newly issued Intel stock.

AMD Stock Outlook: Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) Holds Near $215 Ahead of Year-End Week as China AI Chip Sales and Fed Minutes Take Center Stage

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 9:52 a.m. ET — Market closed Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
