Intel is actively seeking investment from Apple as a strategic contingency plan to invigorate its business. The two tech giants have already initiated discussions regarding the potential for deeper collaboration. However, these negotiations are still in their nascent stages, and it remains uncertain whether a conclusive agreement will be reached.

Recently, Nvidia announced a substantial $5 billion investment in Intel, while Japan's SoftBank Group also contributed $2 billion. If Intel successfully secures an investment deal with Apple, it will serve as a significant endorsement for Intel's ongoing transformation efforts. Notably, Apple was once a long-term customer of Intel but later transitioned to developing its in-house processors.

Following the news of these potential investments, Intel's stock price experienced a remarkable surge during trading hours and continued its upward trajectory even after the market closed.

Nevertheless, it's essential to recognize that the market is inherently risky, and investments should be approached with caution.
