Intel stocks are trading wildly, following the big news announced today by Nvidia.
The AI chip giant has announced a plan to invest $5 billion in the semiconductor group.
The objective is to develop chips for data centers and PCs in collaboration with Intel, in which the US federal government now holds a stake, becoming the largest shareholder with a 10% stake.
From the financial terms of the agreement signed with Intel, we learn that Nvidia will pay $23.28 for each share purchased.
Intel stocks surge 30%. After Trump's move comes a surprise from Nvidia
INTC stocks immediately surged, soaring up to +30% in pre-market trading on Wall Street, to $32, after the news broke.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated in a statement:
<quote>“This historic collaboration tightly integrates NVIDIA's AI and accelerated computing platform with Intel's CPUs and the vast x86 ecosystem—a fusion of two world-class platforms. Together, we will expand our ecosystems and lay the foundation for the next era of computing.”</quote>
Intel will therefore benefit from strategic support from both the US federal government and NVIDIA.
The other giant betting on the company is Softbank, which invested $2 billion in Intel in August.
Regarding Trump's move into the group, it should be remembered that, according to the US administration's announcement in August, Washington injected $8.9 billion into the capital, purchasing 433.3 million INTC stocks.
Considering the stock's jump to $32, that stake is now worth $13.9 billion.

Today's fever for Intel stocks is especially supporting the technology index Nasdaq Composite, which is up about 1%, at 22,468.32 points.
In the aftermath of the first US rate cut of 2025 by Jerome Powell's Fed, the S&P 500- and the Dow Jones- are also advancing.
Nvidia stocks are also doing well, following negative developments in China yesterday.
