# Why Intel Stock Is Skyrocketing Today

Shares of **Intel** (INTC 12.78%) are flying higher on Thursday. The company's stock gained 8.9% as of 11:00 a.m. ET but was up as much as 11.2% earlier in the day. Meanwhile, the **S&P 500** was flat and the **Nasdaq Composite** lost 0.3%.

The chipmaker has fallen behind rivals like **AMD** and **Nvidia** in the all-important artificial intelligence (AI) market and is considering deals with several other chipmakers that would lead to a major shakeup.

## What happened

Over the weekend, _The Wall Street Journal_ reported that **Broadcom** is looking into making a bid for Intel's product business, the heart of Intel, which designs and markets its own chips. The deal could involve the company being cut in two, with **Taiwan Semiconductor** stepping in to take over its other major business, manufacturing and fabrication.

## Why it matters

For years, Intel was a leader in the chip industry, designing and manufacturing its own chips, but the company has fallen behind in the age of AI. In a bid to remain competitive, it created its foundry business, manufacturing chips for outside designers. The move hasn't worked out; the unit struggles to grow its customer base and bleeds cash. Intel's CEO stepped down a few months ago as a result of that failure.

If Intel successfully spins off its foundry arm, it could drive value for both of the resulting businesses. TSMC's expertise could help the fabrication arm find its footing, and a strategic merger with Broadcom on the design side could help revitalize the company. The deals could be lucrative for Intel shareholders.
