In a move reflecting the growing shift toward reshoring critical technology manufacturing, Intel shares surged in premarket trading. This momentum followed statements by President Donald Trump indicating that the company will produce chips for Apple within the United States. According to reports, this partnership aims to bolster domestic manufacturing capabilities and expand Intel's foundry services business.
This development comes as major tech firms seek to diversify supply chains, with Apple shares closing at $295.95 and Microsoft at $378.91 per market data (close June 17, 2026). This aligns with broader industry trends where competitors like TSMC are expanding U.S. operations, potentially positioning Intel as a primary domestic alternative for high-end semiconductor fabrication.
