Statements from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo moved Intel shares on Friday. According to him, industry surveys indicate that Intel’s prospects as a supplier of cutting-edge processors to Apple have recently improved significantly.
On Friday, the shares of the US semiconductor company Intel ended trading on the NASDAQ with an increase of 10.19 percent to 40.56 US dollars.
At the center of the price surge was speculation about a possible collaboration with Apple: According to the renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from TF International Securities, the chances have improved significantly that Intel could become a foundry for Apple’s M-series processors from 2027. Apple has already signed a confidentiality agreement with Intel and received access to Intel’s 18AP process design kit (PDK) to examine technical feasibility, it is said.
This prospect electrified the markets: A contract with Apple would not only confirm Intel’s foundry ambitions, but also open up the prospect of long-term, high-volume contract manufacturing – especially in a market in which high-quality contract manufacturing is rare and competitive.
Despite the impressive price fireworks, investors should not blindly jump on the hype. The possible Apple orders have not yet been officially confirmed – they are statements from an analyst based on industry checks and internal program details. Neither Intel nor Apple have yet announced a binding partnership.
