Intel is up 8% today amid several positive developments at once.

The company plans to raise PC processor prices by about 10% starting in early October in order to protect profitability.

Intel has also surpassed the 1 million processed wafers milestone using ASML’s High-NA EUV technology, and Northland analysts upgraded the stock rating to “Outperform.”

Since the beginning of the year, Intel has already gained more than 160%; not long ago, the previously troubled company has become one of the fastest-growing giants in the market this year.

Interesting fact: the U.S. government, which purchased 9.9% of Intel for $20.47 per share in August 2025, is currently in profit of about $35.9 billion.
