Intel’s Stock Surge in 2025 Amid Leadership Changes
Shares of Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) more than doubled in value throughout 2025, largely attributed to the appointment of Lip-Bu Tan as CEO in March. Under Tan’s leadership, the company implemented significant cost reductions and increased focus on its foundry services. By the end of the third quarter, Intel reported over $30 billion in cash and short-term investments.
Key Developments and Partnerships
Intel’s turnaround efforts included a $2 billion investment from SoftBank and a $5 billion investment from Nvidia, enhancing its financial stability and collaborative technology development. The company is expected to begin production of its Intel 18A process node by the end of 2025, with potential partnerships in the works, as Microsoft and Apple may utilize this technology for AI processors and upcoming chip lines, respectively.
