Leading chip giant Intel Corporation (INTC) has pulled off one of the most dramatic turnarounds of the past year. Once viewed as a fading chipmaker, Intel roared back with triple-digit gains in 2025, transforming itself from a market laggard into one of Wall Street’s most talked-about comeback stories. A major force behind this revival is new CEO Lip-Bu Tan, whose aggressive structural changes have reshaped the company, along with strong backing from the Trump administration. That support has been highly visible.
President Donald Trump recently stated that “The United States Government Is Proud to Be a Shareholder of Intel,” a powerful endorsement that has drawn fresh attention to one of the world’s most important semiconductor players. In addition to government backing, the company also secured investment from Nvidia (NVDA) in late 2025, a move that thrilled investors not only for the fresh capital but also for the credibility that comes from being backed by the world’s most valuable company.
