The Trump administration has effectively put a buy rating on Intel’s stock. But that alone won’t get the troubled chip maker out of its jam. Intel’s shares have soared 22% so far this week. The run started after Vice President JD Vance delivered a speech at an AI summit in Paris early Tuesday that touted the White House’s aim to shore up domestic chip production.

Intel early Friday was on track to notch its best weeklong stretch in nearly 40 years before the rally sputtered.

Intel Corp. shares closed out their best week in 25 years on Friday. The gains came on reports of a potential partnership with a key rival, which fueled bets on a turnaround after an extended period of weakness.
