Intel's comeback story is even wilder than it seems - TechCrunch
In Brief Posted: 1:02 PM PDT · May 8, 2026 Image Credits:Intel (opens in a new window) Bloomberg has a deep dive this week into how Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is trying to rescue one of Silicon Valley’s most storied, and stumbling, chipmakers. It’s worth a read, but it actually undersells the most jaw-dropping part of the story: Intel’s stock has risen a stunning 490% over the past year, a bet by Wall Street that may be running well ahead of the company’s actual turnaround. Tan, who took over in March of last year, has spent much of his first year schmoozing rather than restructuring — locking in a sweetheart deal with the U.S. government (now Intel’s third-largest shareholder), cozying up to Elon Musk on a factory partnership, and reportedly landing preliminary manufacturing agreements with both Apple and Tesla. The fundamentals are still messy. Intel’s chip yields lag well behind industry leader TSMC, and employees tell Bloomberg that Tan has been light on specifics internally, with some teams adjusting missed deadlines rather than recovering from them. But investors are betting big on the bigger picture. Whether the execution follows is the multi-billion-dollar question. Topics Subscribe for the industry’s biggest tech news Latest in Enterprise
Intel's Comeback Had A Trump & Musk Factor, But CEO Lip-Bu Tan's ...
Intel's recent comeback has been spearheaded by CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who has turned around the company & made it the center of tech conversation. Winning Over President Trump & Elon Musk Was Just The Start, The Real Opportunity of Intel Lies Ahead As CEO Lip-Bu Tan Focuses on "Leadership Through Execution" Intel's success didn't come overnight. Just a year ago, the company's share was a mess, and it was facing internal and external crises at the same time. However, decisions made by former CEO Pat Gelsinger on the Foundry front and a solid roadmap framework, along with current CEO Lip-Bu Tan, doubling down with those plans, have helped the company get right back on track, and in a way that most of us thought would take years to happen. President Trump posts on TruthSocial:Intel Stock continues to rise. I’m very proud of that Company in that I am responsible for making the United States of America over 30 Billion Dollars in the last 90 days on that stock alone. There are others that, likewise, I have been… pic.twitter.com/UHeuiBHlmT— Donald J Trump Posts TruthSocial (@TruthTrumpPost) April 29, 2026 One of the leading factors behind Intel's success has been backing from the US Government, & President Donald J Trump himself. The US Government is Intel's 3rd largest shareholder, and holds a 10% stake in the company, valued at $40 Billion (at the start of this month). President Trump continues to say that he's very proud of the company, and he recently congratulated the People of the United States for making a good investment in companies such as Intel. Intel's "Made-in-US" policy also has a large role in this, with its Fab 52, which became operational last year, responsible for bringing Panther Lake to life on the 18A process technology. This state-of-the-art fab is just one of the many planned by Intel in the US, as it recently landed a contract from the U.S. Department of War for supplying chips and advanced packaging capability in a $151 US Defense program. 18A is important to Intel because its optimized variant, 18A-P, and 14A, will be a game-changer for the company. The 14A process node has already won over Elon Musk, who is utilizing the node for his own TeraFab project. The 18A-P process and EMIB technology have some big names riding behind it, such as Apple, Google, NVIDIA, and Mediatek. After Lip-Bu Tan became chief executive officer of Intel Corp. in March of last year, the struggling company’s shares went nowhere for seven months while the chipmak...
