Intel (INTC) ended 2025 as a different company than how it entered the year. Last year marked a company undergoing significant transformation with a renewed focus on artificial intelligence (AI). Intel might still be in the early stages of this turnaround. But its fourth-quarter results showed a firm that has a clear roadmap, financial discipline, and growing ambitions across the AI compute stack. In fact, Intel’s Q4 revealed a problem that long-term investors might love.
Intel stock is up 30% so far this year, and analysts predict even more upside from current levels. Should long-term investors grab INTC stock now?
