Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) has spent 2025 executing a turnaround that many on Wall Street viewed as impossible. Following a grueling year of restructuring, workforce reductions, and factory delays, the stock has staged a recovery. Shares have risen approximately 87% year-to-date and are holding near the $37.50 level.
While aggressive cost-cutting and stabilizing its foundry business drove the initial recovery, the company is now shifting its strategy. Intel is moving from playing defense to playing offense.
