Intel's stock price soared 15.4% to a new record of $120 per share on May 5, following a Bloomberg report that Apple is in talks with both Intel and Samsung to manufacture chips in the United States. This potential collaboration could signal a significant change in Apple's manufacturing strategy, moving away from its long-standing partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Apple has been facing supply chain challenges, particularly with advanced nodes required for AI chip production, prompting the company to explore new partnerships to meet increasing product demand. Intel's market capitalization has now surpassed $547 billion, and the company's shares have rallied 114% in April, marking its best monthly performance since joining the Nasdaq nearly 55 years ago. Investors who bought Intel shares five years ago would see their investment increase from $1,000 to $1,745. However, the discussions with Apple and Samsung are still in the early stages and have not yet resulted in any orders.
