Prize Quiz | Intel Soars 579%, PC Veteran Stages AI Comeback, Which of the Four Hasn't Finished Its Run?

The wave of AI Agents is rewriting a hidden narrative—veterans of the PC era, dormant for a decade, have quietly staged the most stunning comeback by leveraging the AI infrastructure supercycle! Intel has surged 579% year-to-date, Nokia hit a 16-year high, Corning doubled...

Guess who will be the top gainer in the first half of June by June 13th. Correct guesses will earn 500 mission coins!

$Intel(INTC.US): Year-to-date gain of 579%, market cap rebounded from under $70 billion to $600 billion. Global server CPU capacity for 2026 is essentially sold out, with prices rising 10%-20%. Intel is the most direct winner of this paradigm shift.

$Corning(GLW.US): Year-to-date gain of 124%, stock price rose from $87 to $196. An AI supercomputing cluster with 72 GPUs requires 16 times the fiber optic cable of a traditional cloud server. Global data center fiber optic deployment has entered its most intensive cycle in history, with the supply-demand gap continuously widening. Corning firmly sits on the passive growth dividend.

$Nokia Oyj(NOK.US): Year-to-date gain of 156%, stock price rose from $6.47 to $16.46, a 16-year high. AI inference clusters are driving demand for ultra-high-bandwidth networks. Nokia's IP routing and optical transport equipment continue to secure orders from major North American cloud providers, completely overturning its "obsolete" label.

$Cisco(CSCO.US): Year-to-date gain of 55%, has secured $5.3 billion in AI networking orders, with the target raised to $9 billion. The largest single-day gain hit a record high since 2011. Demand for Ethernet switches and high-speed interconnect devices for AI clusters continues to explode, allowing it to firmly capture the largest incremental gains with its ecosystem moat.

The year-to-date gains of these four veterans are already astonishing, but the AI infrastructure supercycle has only completed its first half—who will lead the charge again in the next two weeks?
