Intel could hit $200 per share in two years, says Melius analyst

Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes has set a buy rating on Intel with a $165 price target, implying about 70% upside from the previous close, but sees the stock reaching as high as $200 per share within two years. Reitzes bases his bullish outlook on potential foundry agreements with Apple, Tesla, and another hyperscaler, and strong server CPU pricing and AI PC mix that could drive product earnings above $4. He also notes a Reuters report that Intel is considering a deal to help SK Hynix manufacture memory chips in the U.S., potentially leasing part of its Ohio facility. Intel shares have gained roughly 300% over the past 12 months, and the stock was up more than 4% on the day. The analyst's view contrasts with consensus, as only 15 of 50 analysts rate it a buy.

• Melius Research has a buy rating on Intel with a $165 price target, implying ~70% upside.
• Analyst Ben Reitzes sees Intel trading as high as $200 per share in the next two years.
• Intel could rally on foundry agreements with Apple, Tesla, and another hyperscaler, per analyst.

Intel and SK Hynix in Talks for US Memory Chip Manufacturing

SK Hynix and Intel are in exploratory discussions for SK Hynix to manufacture memory chips in the U.S. for the first time, as reported by Reuters. Potential scenarios include SK Hynix leasing space at Intel's Ohio facility or forming a joint venture potentially with major cloud firms. SK Hynix confirmed talks but no final decisions have been made. The deal could bolster Intel's foundry business and support U.S. semiconductor production goals amid a global chip shortage. Shares rose 5% for Intel and about 2% for SK Hynix on the report. However, the deal may face South Korean government review due to sensitive technology transfer concerns. SK Hynix already operates a $3.8 billion packaging facility in Indiana and listed on Nasdaq in July 2026.
