Intel's stock has surged over 200% since late March, driven by excitement about a CPU revival and a potential Apple foundry deal reported by the WSJ. The rally has pushed shares beyond their dot-com era highs, pricing in all positive news and leaving little room for setbacks. Analysts warn that if the Apple agreement does not materialize, the stock could face significant downside risk. Currently, Intel is viewed more as a short-term trade based on market optimism rather than a long-term investment.
