Intel (INTC) stock is a shining example of how fast things can move in stock markets. In 2024, the chip giant fell 60% to log its worst-ever year in its over five-decade-old history as a listed company. However, the company’s fortunes changed last year, and while it dipped to a multi-year low, it closed the year with gains of 84%. The rally has continued into 2026, and the stock is up over 60% for the year despite all the noise over the war in Iran and soaring energy prices. INTC stock has more than tripled from its last year’s lows in what has been a remarkable turnaround.
