Intel Stock Jumps 5% -- Extends Explosive 2025 Rally On Earnings Shock and Major AI Deals
Intel 
INTC surged about 5% on Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025, extending a 2025 rally of nearly 105%, after the chipmaker reported a return to adjusted profit and flagged progress on its product roadmap.
Last week, the company posted roughly $0.23 in non-GAAP earnings per share for the third quarter on about $13.7 billion in revenue, beating Wall Street views and lifting sentiment.
Investors have also taken heart from large strategic investments that have bolstered Intel's balance sheet. The U.S. government bought a roughly 9.9% stake (about $8.9 billion), Nvidia committed $5 billion, and SoftBank added about $2 billion, moves market participants say provide both capital and credibility.
On the product front, Intel said its Panther Lake Core Ultra processors built on the 18A process are moving into production, a step managers view as central to the company's push into AI-oriented chips and next-generation PCs.
