Together with ASML, the company announced<\/a> that it is using High-NA EUV in volume production of selected layers of its Panther Lake processors, built on the Intel 18A process.<\/p>\n The news carries extra weight because of what came before it. For several years Intel trailed TSMC in manufacturing technology, lost processor market share to AMD and spent tens of billions of dollars on new fabs with no quick financial return. Now Intel 18A is in production, margins are recovering, Foundry losses are shrinking, and High-NA is running in production earlier than at Intel's main competitors.<\/p>\n For anyone analysing Intel stock, High-NA matters first as proof that years of investment in rebuilding production are starting to deliver technological results.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/span>What High-NA EUV Is and Why the Technology Matters<\/span><\/h2>\n\n High-NA EUV is the next generation of equipment for making the most advanced semiconductors.<\/p>\n Today's leading processors are made with EUV lithography.

The Taiwanese company remains far larger in contract manufacturing volume, customer base and the utilisation of its advanced fabs.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/span>How Investment Reshaped Intel’s Manufacturing Business<\/span><\/h2>\n\n Intel's large-scale manufacturing rebuild began in 2021, after Pat Gelsinger returned to the company. The IDM 2.0 strategy set out<\/a> to restore technology leadership and to build a contract manufacturing business for outside chip designers.<\/p>\n Intel announced 20 billion USD of investment in new fabs in Arizona and more than 28 billion USD in a manufacturing site in Ohio. Its total programme of manufacturing and research investment in the United States later passed 100 billion USD. The money went into new fabs, ASML equipment, Intel 18A and the process generations that follow it.<\/p>\n The rebuild came at a high cost. Intel Foundry's operating loss was about 7 billion USD in 2023 and grew to 13.3 billion USD in 2024. At the same time Intel was losing ground in processors and trailing TSMC in manufacturing technology. Investors doubted the huge spending would pay back, and from the 2021 high to the 2025 low Intel shares lost more than 70% of their value.<\/p>\n\n $\"Intel$ <\/a> Intel key financial results, 2019 to 2025. Source: Intel annual financial results.

In 2024 Intel secured<\/a> approval for up to 7.86 billion USD of funding under the CHIPS Act and up to 3 billion USD under the Secure Enclave programme. In 2025 the US government agreed<\/a> to invest 8.9 billion USD in exchange for 433.3 million new Intel shares at 20.47 USD each, giving it about 9.9% of the company. Most of that 8.9 billion came from funding that had already been approved, and total government support for Intel reached 11.1 billion USD.<\/p>\n The support did not cover the full cost of the rebuild. It did help Intel keep capital spending high through the hardest period for the company. The manufacturing programme stayed intact, and fab upgrades and new process development kept their funding even while Foundry losses were large.<\/p>\n From a fundamental point of view, this points to a gradual shift for INTC: from years of heavy investment and growing losses toward the first signs of a recovery in the manufacturing business.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/span>Intel Could Become an Alternative to TSMC<\/span><\/h2>\n\n NVIDIA<\/a>, AMD, Apple<\/a>, Qualcomm and Broadcom design their own processors, and a large share of their most advanced products is made in TSMC's fabs.<\/p>\n Intel could offer these companies a second manufacturer of advanced processors on US soil. That would let customers reduce their dependence on a single supplier and on production capacity in Taiwan.<\/p>\n Government support alone does not win Intel new contracts. To compete with TSMC, the company has to match it on performance, power consumption, chip yield, cost and manufacturing reliability.<\/p>\n The first signs of interest are already here. Microsoft chose<\/a> Intel 18A for one of its own processors, Amazon<\/a> signed<\/a> a multi-year agreement with Intel, and NVIDIA and Broadcom tested<\/a> individual components on Intel 18A. AMD also assessed<\/a> the new process.<\/p>\n None of this amounts to a mass move of customers from TSMC to Intel yet.

The Stochastic<\/a> oscillator, meanwhile, is approaching overbought territory. After the recent rise that makes a short pullback more likely, especially ahead of the Federal Reserve rate decision on 16 September.<\/p>\n A rate increase usually puts pressure on technology companies. It raises the cost of borrowing and lowers the value investors place today on cash the company expects to earn in the future. For Intel the effect is stronger than for most, because the company is still spending heavily on modernising its fabs and scaling up production.<\/p>\n That makes buying at the current market price less attractive. A short pullback could trigger the stop-loss before the main uptrend resumes.<\/p>\n The more careful scenario opens a position only after a breakout above resistance at 107 USD. The descending trend line from the June high also crosses the price in that area. A move that holds above 107 USD would confirm that buyers are strong enough to extend the rise. The trade idea for INTC therefore places a Buy Stop order<\/a> at 108 USD. The target is 139 USD, just under the all-time high near 141 USD set in June. The stop-loss goes at 95 USD.<\/p>\n\n $\"Intel$ <\/a> Intel Corp (INTC) stock technical analysis and forecast, daily chart.

<\/span>High-NA Becomes Intel’s New Advantage<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
Investors have received clear evidence that Intel's long rebuild of its manufacturing business is starting to pay off. Together with ASML, the company announced<\/a> that it is using High-NA EUV in volume production of selected layers of its Panther Lake processors, built on the Intel 18A process.<\/p>\n
The news carries extra weight because of what came before it. For several years Intel trailed TSMC in manufacturing technology, lost processor market share to AMD and spent tens of billions of dollars on new fabs with no quick financial return. Now Intel 18A is in production, margins are recovering, Foundry losses are shrinking, and High-NA is running in production earlier than at Intel's main competitors.<\/p>\n
For anyone analysing Intel stock, High-NA matters first as proof that years of investment in rebuilding production are starting to deliver technological results.<\/p>\n\n \n
<\/span>What High-NA EUV Is and Why the Technology Matters<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
High-NA EUV is the next generation of equipment for making the most advanced semiconductors.<\/p>\n
Today's leading processors are made with EUV lithography. ASML's machines print extremely small features of a future processor onto a silicon wafer. The smaller those features, the more transistors fit on a single chip, which raises performance and lowers power consumption.<\/p>\n
According to ASML, the new technology prints features 40% smaller. For chipmakers that brings several advantages:<\/p>\n
\n
transistors can keep shrinking<\/li>\n
chips become denser<\/li>\n
complex layers need fewer separate lithography steps<\/li>\n
performance and energy efficiency improve<\/li>\n
more complex processors for artificial intelligence become possible<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n
The technology is very expensive. A single ASML High-NA system costs about 400 million USD, so manufacturers have to show that the gains justify that level of capital spending.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>INTC Technical Analysis and Intel Stock Forecast<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
At the time of writing, INTC shares trade close to 99 USD.<\/p>\n
On the daily timeframe<\/a> the stock holds above its 200-period Moving Average<\/a>, which points to a prevailing uptrend. The Stochastic<\/a> oscillator, meanwhile, is approaching overbought territory. After the recent rise that makes a short pullback more likely, especially ahead of the Federal Reserve rate decision on 16 September.<\/p>\n
A rate increase usually puts pressure on technology companies. It raises the cost of borrowing and lowers the value investors place today on cash the company expects to earn in the future. For Intel the effect is stronger than for most, because the company is still spending heavily on modernising its fabs and scaling up production.<\/p>\n
That makes buying at the current market price less attractive. A short pullback could trigger the stop-loss before the main uptrend resumes.<\/p>\n
The more careful scenario opens a position only after a breakout above resistance at 107 USD. The descending trend line from the June high also crosses the price in that area.
