Intel's stock surged nearly 20% recently, prompting Northland Securities analyst Gus Richard to upgrade it from 'Market Perform' to 'Outperform' with a $120 price target. The upgrade is driven by Intel's strong pricing power, major capital investments, and strategic involvement in the Terafab project backed by SpaceX and Tesla, which could cost up to $120 billion.
