Over the past two years, NVIDIA and AMD have cashed in on the AI boom. Meanwhile, CPU behemoth Intel found itself on the sidelines, missing out on this golden opportunity. As a result, its stock price took a nosedive, plummeting by 60% in 2024. However, the tech giant has staged a remarkable comeback. In 2025, its stock price skyrocketed by 84%, and in just the first half of January 2026, it climbed an additional 31%. In a little over a year, its stock price has comfortably doubled. This sharp turnaround stands in stark contrast to its previous performance and has led investors to perceive it as a renaissance for the company.
