Why This Matters

Intel's stock surge reflects a significant shift in the semiconductor industry, driven by potential new partnerships with Apple and strategic expansions. This development could reshape supply chains and influence Apple's future product manufacturing, highlighting the growing importance of U.S.-based chip production. For consumers, this may lead to more localized manufacturing and potentially more secure supply chains for their devices.

Key Takeaways

Intel shares climbed 13% 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 longtime 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 company's market cap past $470 billion.

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

Intel also announced last month that it would repurchase the 49% stake it did not own in its Fab 34 chip facility in Ireland for $14.2 billion.
