Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) shares climbed over 3% as investors rallied behind its advanced packaging strategy, a potential game-changer for both the company and U.S. semiconductor sovereignty. The chipmaker's New Mexico facilities now handle packaging for cutting-edge wafers—a capability that could disrupt the current supply chain dominated by Asian competitors.
While rivals like Taiwan Semiconductor manufacture 4nm wafers, their reliance on offshore packaging creates vulnerabilities. Intel's two-year silent buildup of domestic packaging capacity positions it uniquely to capture this high-value segment of production. The market appears to be pricing in this strategic advantage, though substantial capital expenditures remain a concern.
