Intel Corporation's shares soared 24%, marking the chipmaker's best single-day performance since 1987, driven by a favorable earnings report that highlighted growing demand in the AI sector. The stock closed at $82.54, prompting analysts to raise their price targets as optimism builds around Intel's turnaround strategy.
