Intel's Q2 rebound and SK hynix talks boost outlook for U.S. chip manufacturing and AI growth

Intel reported a strong Q2 with $16.1 billion revenue, up 25% year-over-year, driven by a 59% rise in Data Center and AI segments and a 31% increase in Foundry business. Talks with SK hynix for a potential partnership could increase external demand for Intel's U.S. manufacturing capacity, enhancing foundry utilization and AI supply chain relevance. While valuation limits immediate upside, successful execution and deal finalization are key for further growth and rerating.

Intel trades at USD 120.73, up 11.17% as of Sep 21, 2026 21:41 WIB on Pluang. SK hynix is priced at USD 187.13, down 0.39% at the same time. Intel's market cap stands at $574.07B, reflecting strong investor interest amid its growth and partnership talks.
