Intel (INTC) stock is pushing higher on April 1 after the semiconductor firm said it’s repurchasing Apollo Global Management’s 49% stake in the Fab 34 joint venture in Ireland for $14.2 billion. The announcement signals a meaningful shift in INTC’s capital allocation strategy as it regains full control of its leading-edge European manufacturing hub.
Intel stock nonetheless has yet to reclaim its year-to-date high of about $54 in late January.
