Intel (INTC) Reaches New Highs After 26 Years of Recovery

Intel (INTC) has surpassed its first record high since August 2000, marking a significant milestone in its 26-year recovery journey. Deutsche Bank noted that Intel was the second-largest stock by market value at its peak in 2000. In comparison, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) increased approximately 370% during the same period, highlighting the opportunity cost for investors. While several semiconductor companies have reclaimed their old highs, others have not yet recovered from the dot-com bubble impact. Companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) have reported over 1,000% growth from their 2000 peaks.
