Intel Shares Rise 4% on Bullish Analyst Outlook and Quantum Computing Acquisition
Intel (INTC) shares climbed 4% following optimistic projections from New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu. Ferragu anticipates a significant surge in Intel's stock price, driven by the rise of agentic AI applications which are increasing demand for server central processing units (CPUs). He predicts that Intel could expand its server capacity by over 50% by 2027 and sees potential for server CPU sales to reach $50 billion by 2030. In a strategic move to bolster its long-term technology roadmap, Intel announced the acquisition of Classiq, a developer of quantum computing software. The deal aims to integrate Classiq's software with Intel's manufacturing capabilities to accelerate the scaling and adoption of quantum computing platforms.
