Intel Stock Surges 90% on AI Boom and $15B Backing – Can the Rally Continue?
Intel closed at $38.17 on Oct. 23, up 3.4% for the day and nearly double its January lows. The stock surged after the U.S. government took a 10% stake, Nvidia invested $5B, and Q3 earnings beat estimates with $0.23 EPS on $13.7B revenue. Wall Street remains cautious, with average targets below current prices. Intel’s market cap, about $175B, remains far behind Nvidia and AMD.
