On May 10, Intel rose 3.13% overnight, trading at $129.12 per share, with trading volume of $16.9471 million. The stock has been on a dramatic upward trajectory throughout May, with a single-session gain of 12.92% recorded on May 6 alone, when shares closed at $108.15.
The continued strength reflects a broader shift in AI investment narratives. Market participants have increasingly rotated from a pure training-focused thesis — traditionally centered on GPU makers — toward an inference and advanced-process manufacturing thesis that favors Intel. This narrative pivot has attracted massive institutional capital flows, creating a powerful self-reinforcing trend where any dip has been met with aggressive buying.
However, analysts caution that the rally has significantly outpaced fundamental improvements. First-quarter earnings did not deliver a transformational signal, and the stock has nearly tripled in a short period. The current phase is characterized as expectation-driven and capital-clustering, with limited independent voices questioning valuation divergence from underlying business performance. While the momentum remains strong in the near term, the gap between price action and fundamentals is a point of ongoing debate among market observers.
