Trump's Resurgence: Notable Surge in Trump-related Stocks
In the tech world, Intel has been making headlines lately, with its stock showing a positive trend amidst some challenging times.
As of August 2025, Intel's CEO, Tan, remains in position, having taken over the reins in March and previously serving on the board. Despite facing criticism from Senator Tom Cotton over alleged ties to China, Tan has been pushing for change, initiating cost-cutting measures at Intel, including scrapping billion-dollar plans to build a factory in Magdeburg.
The U.S. government has played a significant role in Intel's recent fortunes. In a move reminiscent of financial crisis-era measures, the U.S. government made an $8.9 billion investment in Intel stock, acquiring nearly a 15% stake in the company. This investment, publicly endorsed by President Trump via a tweet, has boosted investor confidence, reflected in Intel’s stock price rising to $25.05 after hours on August 19, 2025, and continuing upward to around $24.80 - $25.05 on August 22, 2025.
Interestingly, there are no direct statements in the current data about meetings specifically between Intel’s CEO and former President Trump. However, the positive stock market reception seems to be more tied to the government’s investment announcement and active support.
Intel's stock has been a strong performer in the market, making it the third-strongest performer of the day in the Nasdaq 100 during regular trading hours on Monday. Stock forecasts show continued growth in the near term through late 2025, with monthly average price predictions increasing gradually from around $38 to $44 over the coming months, indicating strong market expectations for Intel’s growth.
Despite the challenges faced by Intel in the AI market, dominated by Nvidia, and significant losses incurred to build its foundry business, the company's stock remains a bet on a turnaround. With the U.S. government's support and Tan's commitment to change, Intel is poised to make a comeback in the tech industry.
