Intel Stock Jumps 6% After Trump Announces Landmark Chipmaking Pact with Apple

Intel shares surged by nearly 6% in extended trading following an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding a new agreement between Apple and Intel to manufacture advanced electronic chips within the United States.

The move is widely seen as a major boost to Intel’s ongoing efforts to reclaim its leadership in the semiconductor industry, amid fierce competition from Asian tech giants currently dominating the global chip manufacturing sector. According to Trump, Apple will collaborate with Intel to produce select electronic chips locally, aligning with a broader U.S. strategy to revitalize domestic manufacturing, secure American supply chains, and mitigate reliance on overseas facilities.

The announcement sparked a wave of optimism among investors, who view Apple's potential inclusion in Intel’s client roster as a massive vote of confidence in the company's manufacturing capabilities. This development comes on the heels of heavy investments made by Intel in recent years to pioneer cutting-edge chip production technologies.
