Intel just scored a major partnership with Apple to design and build computer chips in the US. The news sent Intel's stock sharply higher as investors bet this is a turning point for the struggling chipmaker.

## Idea

A government-backed deal with Apple to produce chips domestically is a transformative win for Intel's turnaround story. Investors are already rotating capital out of the largest tech giants and into semiconductor and hardware bottlenecks, and this deal puts Intel squarely at the center of that trend. When a stock surges on fundamental news like a major contract, it often attracts follow-on buying from funds that need to hold the stock for longer periods. We want to ride that upward momentum as the market adjusts to Intel's improved business outlook.
