Intel (INTC) Shares Surge Nearly 17% in Three Days

FXOpen

According to Intel Corporation’s (INTC) stock chart:

→ The price has reached its highest level in 2025.
→ Shares have surged approximately 17% in just three days—the biggest three-day gain since April 2001, when Intel rose by 24.5%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

MarketWatch attributes the bullish sentiment to several key factors:

→ US Vice President J.D. Vance voiced support for domestic semiconductor production, stating, “To maintain America’s edge, the Trump administration will ensure the most powerful AI systems are developed in the US using American-designed and manufactured chips.”

→ Unlike many of its competitors, Intel both designs and manufactures its chips. Optimism may stem from hopes that government backing for the US semiconductor sector will benefit the company.

→ Jefferies analyst Blayne Curtis noted that Intel appears to be strengthening its position in the CPU market, driven by demand for its Emerald Rapids product.

→ Speculation surrounding potential discussions on a partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's largest chipmaker.

Technical Analysis of Intel (INTC) Stock

The $19 level has proven to be a strong support, as every attempt to push the price below this mark has failed.

Price fluctuations for INTC outline an ascending channel (marked in blue). While strong demand could drive the stock toward the channel median, the upper red trendline of the broader downtrend may act as resistance—raising the likelihood of a correction following the 17% surge.

Intel (INTC) Stock Forecast

Despite Intel’s stronger-than-expected Q4 earnings, analysts remain cautious.

According to TipRanks:
→ Only 1 out of 32 surveyed analysts currently recommends buying INTC stock.
→ The 12-month average price target for INTC is $22.

However, if the broader news flow continues to fuel optimism, more analysts may revise their Intel stock forecasts upward.
