Intel's stock surge reflects its strategic importance in the evolving semiconductor landscape, especially as Apple considers diversifying its chip supply chain within the U.S. This shift could reshape industry dynamics, impacting global manufacturing and supply chain resilience for major tech companies.

Key Takeaways

Intel shares climbed 14% Tuesday, hitting a new all-time high as the chipmaker continued its historic run from April.

The jump comes on a Bloomberg report that Apple is in talks with both Intel and Samsung to produce the main processors for its devices in the U.S. The iPhone maker has had a long-time reliance on chips from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co .

Intel and Samsung declined to comment on the report. Apple did not respond to a request for comment.

The surge follows Intel's best month in its 55 years on the Nasdaq. The stock jumped 114% in April and pushed the market cap past $470 billion.

Several major partnerships helped fuel the rally. The U.S. semiconductor firm announced an expansion of its partnership with Google , as well as plans to join Elon Musk's Terafab project in April.

Intel also announced it would repurchase its Fab 34 chip facility in Ireland last month for $14.2 billion.
