Intel (INTC) stock has extended its strong momentum into 2026, following a significant rally in 2025. In the current year, shares have continued to advance, rising more than 70% year-to-date (YTD). The recent surge has accelerated in the past week, with INTC climbing about 25% over the last five trading days.
Part of this rally followed Intel’s announcement that it will participate in Elon Musk’s Terafab project. The development has boosted investor optimism around Intel’s potential role in large-scale technology infrastructure initiatives.
