Intel stock rallied 11%. This followed reports that Nvidia and Apple may use Intel's foundry. The production targets the 2028 Feynman architecture platform.

The rally reverses negative sentiment. This sentiment stemmed from disappointing Q4 2025 earnings and weak guidance.

Securing high-profile customers like Nvidia and Apple sparks investor optimism. This supports Intel's long-term strategy to become a major semiconductor foundry player.

CFO David Zinsner added to the positive sentiment. He purchased approximately $250,000 worth of company stock.
