History Says Intel's Best Years Have Been Hard to Follow. 2026 Is Its Best in More Than 4 Decades.
Four of the chipmaker's five previous best years since 1981 were followed by a down year. Why would 2027 be different?
Overview
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock has had a remarkable 2026. Shares sit near $124 as I write, up about 236% from the $36.90 they closed at to end 2025.
With three months left, the chipmaker is on pace for its best calendar year in more than four decades. No full year since at least 1981 comes close.
Details
But Intel's history after strong years isn't encouraging. Before 2026, the stock's five best years since 1981 were 1996 (up 131%), 1983 (up 117%), 2003 (up 106%), 2023 (up 90%), and 1987 (up 89%).
