Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the U.S. and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45352452">each other&#8217;s goods</a>.
What To Know: According to <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/05/12/nx-s1-5395027/us-china-tariffs-deal-trade-war-beijing-washington">NPR</a>, the deal will drop U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% and Chinese duties on U.S. imports from 125% to 10% for a three-month period.
On the U.S. side, the talks were led by Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, while Vice Premier He Lifeng led the discussions for China.
Bessent said at a press conference that, &#8220;We concluded that we have shared interests, and we both have an interest in balanced trade.&#8221; In addition, Greer stated that there is a &#8220;positive path forward&#8221; on the two countries working to combat fentanyl smuggling.
The updated U.S. tariff levels include a base 10% tariff on all imports, along with an additional 20% tariff introduced earlier this year by President Donald Trump in response to allegations that China is producing chemicals linked to fentanyl.
The U.S. is reportedly now in talks with China to increase its purchases of American goods.
Intel stock may be trading higher as a reduction in tariffs could alleviate some supply chain concerns and improve macro sentiment as well as demand visibility. Other chip stocks, including Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), are also trading higher following the news.
Notably, sales from China accounted for about 30% of Intel&#8217;s <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4432161-intel-faces-potentially-significant-impact-from-chinas-import-tariffs-wells-fargo">revenue in 2024.</a>

Intel Stock Is Rising Monday: What's Going On?

Shares of chip stocks are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate some supply chain concerns and improve macro sentiment as well as demand visibility.

Decades after Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) walked away from Morris Chang's pitch to co-invest in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), the Taiwanese chip giant has skyrocketed past Intel in market value.
What Happened: In a 2014 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEh3ZgbvBrE&amp;ab_channel=StanfordOnline">lecture</a> at Stanford University, Chang, the founder of TSMC, shared the remarkable backstory of how he secured funding for what would become the world's largest dedicated chip foundry.
At the time, Chang was tasked with piecing together financing, with the Taiwanese government promising up to 50% of the initial investment — if Chang could secure the other half from private investors, ideally a major global tech partner.
Chang approached several industry giants, including Intel, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Sony. While Intel initially showed some interest, the conversations ultimately ended in rejection.

Chang recalled how Intel's then-executive Craig Barrett met with him twice but eventually said no, saying the company wasn't interested.
"The only company that appeared to be genuinely interested was Philips," Chang recounted. While he had hoped for a stronger technology partner, Chang settled for Philips, which invested 28%. With the Taiwanese government's 48% and additional funds from local investors, TSMC was officially launched in 1987.

Why It's Important: Fast forward to today, and the contrast between TSMC and Intel's fortunes couldn't be starker.
As of May 2025, TSMC boasts a market capitalization of $908.78 billion, ranking as the world's 11th most valuable company, while Intel lags far behind with a market cap of $91.60 billion, sitting at 206th place globally.
TSMC, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/02/43886929/taiwan-semiconductor-options-trading-a-deep-dive-into-market-sentiment">went public as an ADR</a> in the U.S. in 1997, now controls over 60% of the global chip foundry market. It counts powerhouse clients like Apple Inc., Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia Corporation, leveraging process technologies and benefiting from the fabless chip model that has reshaped the semiconductor landscape.
Meanwhile, Intel has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42378342/intel-stock-is-where-it-was-27-years-ago-how-the-worlds-leading-chipmaker-lost-the-plot-thrice">struggled to maintain</a> its former dominance. Over the past five years, Intel's stock has fallen more than 64% (whereas TSMC has gained BY 231.17%), losing ground not only in its traditional x86 stronghold but also in emerging areas like smartphone chips and AI, where Nvidia has surged ahead.
At Intel's first-quarter 2025 earnings call, new CEO Lip-Bu Tan admitted, "Clearly, there are no quick fixes," as the company works through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45000866/intel-stock-has-fallen-nearly-64-in-5-years-now-ceo-lip-bu-tan-says-clearly-there-are-no-quick-fixes-but-investors-should-stay-tuned">multi-year transformation</a> plan aimed at regaining competitiveness in AI, GPUs, and edge computing.
But the bigger story today is how TSMC has far outpaced Intel's market value and global influence.
With TSMC sitting atop the global semiconductor supply chain and Intel working hard to stage a turnaround, the once-dismissed foundry model now stands as a defining force in the future of chips.

Morris Chang Once Talked About How Intel Turned Down His Vision For TSMC — Fast Forward To Today And The Taiwanese Chipmaker Has Outgrown Intel In Market Value By Hundreds Of Billions

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) has emerged as the brightest star of the S&amp;P 500 over the past year, but its meteoric rise — up 440% in twelve months and 53% year-to-date through May 9 — is now confronting a valuation wall that even the hardest bulls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">are struggling to justify.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is Palantir Trading At Bubble-Like Valuations: How High Is Too High?</h3>
With shares closing at $115 on Friday and peaking at a record $125 this week, Palantir is now trading at 500 times trailing twelve-month earnings, an outlier among all companies in the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100. 
That's nearly triple the valuation of most AI-linked stocks and more than 14 times higher than tech heavyweights like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), which trade at price-to-earnings ratios of 37x and 32x, respectively.
While many would argue that Palantir is a bet on the future rather than the past, even when factoring in projected earnings, the valuation picture remains extreme.
Palantir trades 190 times forward earnings, raising red flags that the price has disconnected from even the most optimistic projections.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bullish Case Still Has A Pulse</h3>
Despite this, investor enthusiasm remains sky-high. The company's ability to secure lucrative defense contracts and its reputation as an artificial intelligence leader has driven continued demand for the stock, even during broader market corrections.
Palantir notably held its ground during the April selloff triggered by the Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff escalation, never breaching its 200-day moving average.
Larry Tentarelli, Chief Technical Strategist at Blue Chip Daily Trend Report, said Palantir &#8220;remains our top-ranked technology sector stock,&#8221; citing its technical strength and AI leadership.
Tentarelli said the recent earnings quarter confirmed their view and suggested any consolidation in the $100–$110 range could offer a new buying opportunity. &#8220;We view this stock as a buy here or on pullbacks,&#8221; he said.
His firm maintains a long position and sees Palantir as dominant in its niche government and commercial AI applications.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir&#8217;s Analyst Consensus: Caution Ahead</h3>
Out of 25 accredited analysts covering the stock, only one rates it a &#8216;Strong Buy&#8217; and just three rate it &#8216;Buy&#8217;. The overwhelming consensus is to &#8216;Hold&#8217;, with the median price target 18% below current levels.
Goldman Sachs&#8217; analyst Gabriela Borges, CFA maintained a &#8216;Neutral&#8217; rating this week and raised her 12-month price target to $90, still 22% below the current price.
&#8220;Our positive view of Palantir&#8217;s growth is balanced by longer-term ecosystem risks – the industry moving from peak custom to more off-the-shelf adoption – and the stock&#8217;s premium valuation,&#8221; Borges said.
She highlighted Palantir&#8217;s enterprise value-to-sales multiple at 81x, far exceeding the sector average of 12x, and its growth-adjusted EV/sales ratio (the so-called Rule of 40) at 0.97x, compared to just 0.28x for comparable software companies growing 20% or more.
While fundamentals are struggling to keep pace with price momentum, Palantir's rally shows no immediate signs of collapse. Still, unless earnings growth or profitability scales up dramatically, the company may be heading toward a painful reckoning. Read now:

In total, that's more than 50 different stocks bought and disclosed by Greene in the latest filing. Based on the purchase range of $1,001 to $15,000, this would make the transaction range over $50,000 and up to more than $800,000.

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

'Trump To Rescind Global Chip Curbs Amid AI Restrictions Debate' - Bloomberg News

Tech might be the face of layoffs, but in 2025, it's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-government">the federal government</a> racking up the body count.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Layoff Numbers Speak For Themselves</h2>
Sure, Intel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) grabbed headlines in April when it laid off a staggering 22,000 workers &#8211; its second major bloodletting after a 15,000 cut last August. But while Silicon Valley slashed 52,340 jobs across 123 companies so far this year, data collated by Layoffs.fyi <a href="https://layoffs.fyi/">suggests</a> that Washington, DC has been responsible for 171,843 firings, including 61,296 ordered by Elon Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Let that sink in—DOGE has laid off more people than Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: META), Alphabet Inc&#8217;s Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) combined.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DOGE Layoffs Easily Outnumber Tech</h2>
Unlike tech's boom-bust cycle, this appears to be methodical. DOGE has trimmed 27.3% of the Departments of Health and Human Services, 23.5% of Transportation and 13.3% of Defense. The Treasury Department, Housing and Urban Development and State Department got off lightly &#8211; for now &#8211; with cuts under 3%.
Tech is downsizing &#8211; but the government is undergoing a sweeping, department-wide shake-up.
Back in Silicon Valley, Intel leads the layoffs, slashing 37,000 jobs in two rounds. Meta's downsizing continues with a fresh 3,600 cut in February. Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) April 2024 layoff of 14,000 now looks like old news.
But here's the twist: While tech layoffs tend to spark investor optimism and stock bumps, the DOGE-driven purge may have the opposite effect &#8211; slower bureaucratic throughput, reduced regulatory oversight and mounting labor tension.
And yet, the headlines? All about tech.
The takeaway: The bigger workforce upheaval is happening in D.C., not Silicon Valley.

Groundbreaking solution simplifies AI inferencing for specialized and local applications
NetApp&#xAE; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTAP#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced the release of NetApp AIPod Mini with Intel, a joint solution designed to streamline enterprise adoption of AI inferencing. This collaboration addresses the unique challenges businesses face when deploying AI, such as cost and complexity, at the department and team level.
To thrive in the era of intelligence, enterprises have adopted AI to enhance efficiency and data-driven decision making across their businesses. A <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2023-10%2FSSRN-id4573321.pdf&amp;esheet=54249584&amp;newsitemid=20250506422545&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=study+by+Harvard+Business+School&amp;index=1&amp;md5=bfad42d72cefd6a6e06f70ec4c5d507e">study by Harvard Business School</a> found that consultants given access to AI tools were able to increase their productivity, completing 12.2 percent more tasks and completing them 25.1 percent more quickly. However, individual business units may find that the broadly available general purpose AI applications are not able to meet their specific needs, but do not have the technical expertise or budget to customize an AI application from scratch. NetApp and Intel have partnered to provide businesses with an integrated AI inferencing solution built on an intelligent data infrastructure framework that allows specific business functions to leverage their distinct data to create outcomes that support their needs. NetApp AIPod Mini streamlines the deployment and use of AI for specific applications such as automating aspects of document drafting and research for legal teams, implementing personalized shopping experiences and dynamic pricing for retail teams, and optimizing predictive maintenance and supply chains for manufacturing units.
"Our mission is to unlock AI for every team at every level without the traditional barriers of complexity or cost," said Dallas Olson, Chief Commercial Officer at NetApp. "NetApp AIPod Mini with Intel gives our customers a solution that not only transforms how teams can use AI but also makes it easy to customize, deploy, and maintain. We are turning proprietary enterprise data into powerful business outcomes."

Nvidia, Broadcom Lead Fund Manager Buys Even As Semiconductor Sector Cools: Analysts

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Bank OZK (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OZK#NYSE">OZK</a>) is &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OZK/analyst-ratings">not a high-quality bank.&#8221;</a>
Supporting his view, Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Catherine Mealor lowered the price target from $50 to $48 on April 22.
Cramer recommended buying Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>). &#8220;I&#8217;d buy it on Monday,&#8221; he added.
According to recent news, Marvell Technology announced on April 23 the successful interoperability of the Marvell Structera portfolio of Compute Express Link (CXL) devices with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) EPYC CPUs and 5th Gen Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44967270/marvells-cxl-devices-seamlessly-integrate-with-amd-and-intel-cpus-boosting-cloud-data-center-performance">Intel Xeon platforms</a>.
&#8220;We have so many of these digital infrastructure plays,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Applied Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APLD#NASDAQ">APLD</a>). &#8220;If you're going to go there, just go buy Salesforce.&#8221;
On April 30, the company announced it had entered into a preferred equity purchase agreement with select investors. This agreement allows the company to raise up to $150 million through the sale of its newly designated Series G Convertible Preferred Stock.
Cramer said although Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) is an &#8220;excellent&#8221; company, but he likes Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) more. &#8220;And that's the one I would go for.&#8221; 
On the earnings front, Applied Materials will hold its fiscal second-quarter earnings conference call on Thursday, May 15. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $2.31 per share on revenue of 7.12 billion.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Marvell Technology shares gained 2.3% to settle at $62.33 on Friday.</li>
<li>Bank OZK shares rose 2.2% to close at $44.15 during the session.</li>
<li>Applied Digital shares gained 1.7% to settle at $5.30 on Friday.</li>
<li>Applied Materials shares rose 4.1% to close at $155.10.</li>
