Intel is experiencing a surge in its stock performance after securing several large investments and exploring new partnerships. The company recently received $5 billion from Nvidia for joint development of an Artificial Intelligence chip and $2 billion from SoftBank.
According to a report by the New York Times, Intel is now in preliminary talks with Apple about a potential investment. The companies, which previously collaborated on Thunderbolt technology and Mac chips, have held several discussions, but nothing has been finalized.
The report states that conversations between Intel and Apple are at an early stage, and an agreement is not guaranteed. The article adds that the companies are also discussing closer cooperation. Neither company has confirmed the talks publicly.
Following reports of the possible Apple investment, Intel stock rose 4% on Thursday. This is consistent with its 30% increase over the last 30 days and a 64% rise throughout the current year.
Recent analyst ratings remain mixed despite the upward trend in share price. While Loop Capital has issued a Hold rating with a target price of $25—citing high prediction accuracy—Rosenblatt maintains a Sell rating with a $14 target. Other firms, such as JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, have set their targets at $21, indicating uncertainty over Intel‘s future performance.
