JP Morgan analyst Harlan Sur reiterated an Underweight rating on Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) on Tuesday, setting a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/INTC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $23</a>.
On Monday, before the market opened, Intel announced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44792707/intel-stock-surges-5-on-potential-altera-sale-trumps-tariff-relief-provides-added-boost" rel="noreferrer noopener">51% stake sale</a> of its programmable chip business, Altera, to private equity firm Silver Lake Management for $4.46 billion, valuing Altera at $8.75 billion with a transaction multiple of ~5.7 times calendar 2024 sales.
As a reference, Intel bought Altera in 2015 at 9 times calendar 2014 sales and in 2020, and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) bought Xilinx for 11 times calendar 2019 sales).
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44786708/why-are-semiconductor-stocks-trading-higher-on-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chip Stocks Rise as Trump Pushes Tariffs, Exempts Phones and Backs US Semiconductor Production</a>
Over the past 10 years, since Intel acquired Altera, revenues have declined by 20% compared to 87% growth for the overall semiconductor industry.
The transaction marks Intel&#8217;s first significant strategic move under its new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan. It underpins the company&#8217;s broader turnaround strategy and refocuses on its core x86 businesses.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Financially, Altera generated $1.54 billion in revenue last year (putting the deal value at 6 times calendar 2024 sales) with ~50% adjusted gross margin, and we estimate Altera&#8217;s revenue to grow to $1.6 billion (+4%) in calendar 2025.
Intel originally acquired Altera for $16.7 billion in December 2015, 9 times calendar 2014 sales. The lower transaction value reflects a lower revenue profile (Altera revenues are down 20% over the past 10 years versus 87% growth in the semiconductor industry) and margin profile.
Intel plans to de-consolidate Altera from its financial statements and expects to close the deal in the second half of calendar 2025.&nbsp;The sale strengthens Intel&#8217;s balance sheet amid a more challenging macro environment.
Raghib Hussain will succeed Sandra Rivera as CEO of Altera (effective May 5). Previously, Raghib was President of Products and Technologies at Marvell Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), overseeing advancements in its custom AI chips and networking solutions business.
Raghib led the Data Center Cloud Group, focusing on integrated silicon portfolios for switching, connectivity, and computing.
Overall, Sur noted this is a step in the right direction. However, he remained underweight on the stock as Intel continues to navigate through a challenging period, as it right-sizes the company and continues to move forward with its technology/manufacturing product roadmaps.
Sur projected first-quarter revenue of $12.2 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.00.
Price Action: INTC stock closed lower by 2.26% at $19.85 on Tuesday.

Intel Growth Challenges Are Not Over Despite Altera Stake Sale: Analyst

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) are racing to define the future of AI and data center dominance. While one is breaking ground in the U.S., the other is shrinking down to the cutting edge of 2nm tech.
Investors hoping to ride the AI wave must decide: factory floors or fabrication finesse?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Bets On Made-in-America AI Might</h2>
Nvidia is going local. For the first time, the company is building AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S., kicking off production of its Blackwell chips at TSMC's Arizona facility and constructing AI supercomputer plants with Foxconn and Wistron in Texas.
"The engines of the world's AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time," said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. "Adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers."

The move not only secures supply chain resilience but also positions Nvidia at the heart of U.S. tech infrastructure expansion.

Despite a slightly sluggish stock (down 5.23% in the past month), NVDA stock&#8217;s eight-day and 20-day simple moving averages flash bullish signals, giving bulls a reason to stay optimistic.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD Goes Atomic With 2nm And Arizona Anchoring</h2>
While Nvidia is laying bricks, AMD is making atoms dance. Its upcoming EPYC processor, "Venice," is the first high-performance computing chip taped out on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) next-gen 2nm (N2) node.
"TSMC has been a key partner for many years," said AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su. "Being a lead HPC customer for TSMC's N2 process and for TSMC Arizona Fab 21 are great examples of how we are working closely together to drive innovation."
AMD also validated its 5th Gen EPYC chips at TSMC's Arizona facility, mirroring Nvidia's U.S.-centric strategy. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0415"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="627" height="489" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/15124431/Screenshot-2025-04-15-at-10.10.20-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-872587" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/15124431/Screenshot-2025-04-15-at-10.10.20-PM.png 627w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/15124431/Screenshot-2025-04-15-at-10.10.20-PM-300x234.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px" /></a></figure>

Technically, AMD stock remains in a firmly downward trend with bearish signals across most key moving averages.
Whether you're betting on concrete or nanometers, this chip war is heating up &#8211; and there's no neutral ground left.

For context, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44786708/why-are-semiconductor-stocks-trading-higher-on-monday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared plans to</a> slap tariffs on imported semiconductors on Sunday. However, he promised flexibility with some companies in the sector. Trump stressed the country&#8217;s focus on the domestic production of chips and semiconductors.
The benchmark S&amp;P 500 index <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44786708/why-are-semiconductor-stocks-trading-higher-on-monday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has lost 8%</a> in value since Trump took office on Jan. 20. Additionally, the tariffs could affect the demand-supply balance by making products dearer, thereby affecting companies&#8217; profit margins. The tech sector is already reeling from concerns over the sustainability of the massive AI technology investments.
Taiwan Semiconductor reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44732800/taiwan-semiconductor-reports-255-billion-q1-revenue-surges-42-in-despite-us-tensions" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter revenue</a> growth of 41.6% to&nbsp;839.25 billion New Taiwan dollars ($25.5 billion).
In March, key contract chipmaker chief&nbsp;C.C. Wei announced&nbsp;an additional $100 billion&nbsp;investment&nbsp;in U.S. chipmaking (on top of $65 billion in April 2024)
The investment followed&nbsp;Trump&#8217;s verbal attacks&nbsp;on Taiwan &#8220;for stealing&#8221; the U.S. semiconductor business, which led to massive trade deficits for Washington.
Price Action:&nbsp;TSM stock is down 0.06% to $155.75 premarket at the last check on Wednesday.

Taiwan Semiconductor Preps New Chip Tech To Supercharge AI Performance By 2027

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) disclosed her significant stock purchases made just before and on the day of President Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement to pause global tariffs. This announcement had a substantial impact on the stock market.
What Happened: Based on the information disclosed to the House, Greene bought stocks valued between $21,000 and $315,000 on April 8 and 9. On April 8, she also sold Treasury bills worth between $50,000 and $100,000, according to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Benzinga Government Trades tracker.</a>
Greene&#8217;s stock purchases included shares in several companies, such as&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which has since appreciated by approximately 5%. She also invested in other tech firms, energy companies like&nbsp;Devon Energy Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>), and pharmaceutical giant&nbsp;Merck &amp; Company&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>).
On April 8, Greene bought stocks in&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). These transactions occurred&nbsp;as government bond yields were&nbsp;on the rise amidst the tariff turmoil.
Here's a look at the stocks Greene purchased during the period:

Why It Matters: Greene&#8217;s stock trades have raised eyebrows, especially considering the timing of her purchases. The trades coincided with former President Trump&#8217;s tariff pause announcement, which led to a significant surge in the stock market. 
This has led to calls for an investigation into potential insider trading related to President Trump&#8217;s market communications before the tariff pause announcement. Key Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have expressed concerns about possible corruption. Schiff and Warren pointed out a post on Truth Social where Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44747573/adam-schiff-and-elizabeth-warren-call-for-investigation-into-possible-insider-trading-by-trump-allie"> encouraged buying stocks</a> just hours before the tariff pause announcement that sent markets soaring.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York&nbsp;urged a ban on stock trading by members of Congress following the revelation of Ms. Greene's investment activities. He told <a href="https://jeffries.house.gov/2025/04/14/leader-jeffries-we-are-going-to-hold-republicans-accountable-for-any-effort-to-dismantle-social-security/">MSNBC </a>on Monday, "We obviously have to continue to highlight why this is problematic."

Marjorie Taylor Greene Made Large Stock Purchases Ahead Of Trump's 90-Day Tariff Pause: Hakeem Jeffries Calls It 'Problematic'

President Donald Trump credited his tariff policies for driving Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">massive $500 billion commitment to build artificial intelligence infrastructure</a> in the United States during a White House press conference on Monday.
What Happened: &#8220;The reason they did it is because of the election on Nov. 5 and because of a thing called tariffs,&#8221; Trump said while hosting El Salvador President Nayib Bukele. &#8220;I want to thank Jensen and all of the people that we deal with. They&#8217;re great people, they&#8217;re brilliant people, and without tariffs, they wouldn&#8217;t be doing it.&#8221;
The chipmaker announced plans to partner with manufacturing giants, including Foxconn, Wistron, TSMC, Amkor, and SPIL to develop AI-related infrastructure across the United States over the next four years. Production of Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell chips is already underway at TSMC&#8217;s Phoenix facility, with assembly operations planned for Texas.
&#8220;The engines of the world&#8217;s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time,&#8221; Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in the announcement. &#8220;Adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers.&#8221;

However, Trump indicated on Sunday that he would announce new semiconductor import tariff rates this week, though with &#8220;flexibility with some companies.&#8221;
Nvidia&#8217;s initiative coincides with similar moves by competitors. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) CEO Lisa Su confirmed Tuesday that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44805317/amd-set-to-begin-chip-production-at-tsmcs-arizona-plant-as-n2-development-advances">AMD will manufacture more AI servers in the United States</a> and begin chip production at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) Arizona facility.
Price Action: Nvidia stock closed at $110.71 on Monday, down by 0.20%. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped to $109.37, a decrease of 1.21%. Year-to-date, the stock has fallen 19.96%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jensen Huang Praised By Trump: Nvidia 'Wouldn't Be Doing' $500 Billion AI Infrastructure Commitment Without Tariffs

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) CEO Lisa Su confirmed on Tuesday that the company is ready to start chip production at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) Arizona facility and will manufacture more artificial intelligence servers in the United States.
What Happened: Speaking to reporters at National Taiwan University in Taipei, Su&#8217;s announcement comes amid increasing focus on domestic semiconductor manufacturing and potential new tariffs on imported chips, reported Reuters. President Donald Trump said that he would announce semiconductor import tariff rates this week on Sunday, though he noted that there would be &#8220;flexibility with some companies.&#8221;
AMD also revealed Monday it has achieved a significant manufacturing milestone with its next-generation EPYC processor, codenamed &#8220;Venice,&#8221; becoming the first high-performance computing product in the industry to be taped out on TSMC&#8217;s advanced 2-nanometer (N2) process. The Venice processors are scheduled to launch next year.
&#8220;TSMC has been a key partner for many years and our deep collaboration with their R&amp;D and manufacturing teams has enabled AMD to consistently deliver leadership products,&#8221; Su said in Monday&#8217;s statement.

Why It Matters: The company also announced successful validation of its 5th generation EPYC CPU products at TSMC&#8217;s new Arizona fabrication facility, underscoring AMD&#8217;s commitment to U.S. manufacturing at a time when semiconductor supply chains face geopolitical scrutiny.
TSMC Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei highlighted the partnership, saying: &#8220;By working together, we are driving significant technology scaling resulting in better performance, power efficiency and yields for high-performance silicon.&#8221;
AMD relies heavily on TSMC, the world&#8217;s largest contract chipmaker, to manufacture its processors as it competes against Intel Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) dominance in the microprocessor market and NVIDIA Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) strength in graphics processing units.
AMD trails Nvidia in momentum but outperforms Intel on growth metrics, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up for more insights</a>.

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) shares are moving higher on Monday after President Donald Trump and his administration announced that electronics are exempt from the 145% reciprocal tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44787080/goldman-sachs-cheers-china-tariff-exemptions-lifts-earnings-forecasts-for-apple-dell-hp">on Chinese goods.</a>
What To Know: According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/14/business/tech-stocks-jump-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-on-electronics/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">New York Post</a>, electronics include items like smartphones and laptops along with semiconductors. The announcement boosted Micron and other American tech stocks as it eases investor concerns about potential cost increases and slowing demand.
Companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Dell Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) are also moving higher following the news. 
American tech firms often rely on components sourced from China, which could have become significantly more expensive under the proposed tariffs. Higher production costs could have led to price hikes for consumers, potentially reducing demand for electronics overall. 
Micron's business relies on steady demand for devices that use its chips, so avoiding tariffs that could weaken consumer spending is largely seen as a positive for the company.
The tariff relief for electronics may be short-lived. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday the Trump administration is planning new tariffs targeting semiconductors and other tech parts. 
Trump emphasized in a social media post that "NOBODY is getting ‘off the hook' on tariffs," adding that even if certain products are exempt under one policy, "they'll be covered under another."

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) shares are trading higher on Monday after President Donald Trump and his administration announced consumer electronics are exempt from the 145% reciprocal tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/04/44794083/7-chipmaker-stocks-set-to-gain-as-trump-delays-tariff-blow-on-key-china-tech-imports-bank-of-america">on Chinese goods.</a>
What To Know: According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/14/business/tech-stocks-jump-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-on-electronics/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">New York Post</a>, the exemption covers smartphones, laptops and chips, which led to gains in the company&#8217;s stock and other U.S.-listed Chinese stocks such as PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>).
The new exemption allows these companies to maintain competitive pricing and avoid price increases. Furthermore, it eases investor concerns over disrupted supply chains and reduced consumer demand due to higher pricing, both of which could have negatively impacted revenue.
The news also lifted American technology stocks like Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Dell Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>). Many of these companies rely on components from China in order to manufacture their goods.
The relief from tariffs for electronics is likely temporary. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick warned Sunday that the Trump administration is preparing new tariffs aimed at semiconductors and other tech components.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

The benchmark Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s 500 index&nbsp;has lost over 10% in value since Trump took office on January 20. Additionally, the tariffs could affect the demand-supply balance by making products dearer, thereby affecting companies&#8217; revenue and profit margins.
The tech sector is already reeling from concerns over the sustainability of the massive artificial intelligence technology investments.

Why Are Semiconductor Stocks Trading Higher On Monday?

Shares of semiconductor, electronics and hardware stocks are trading higher after the Trump administration excluded a range of technology products, including consumer electronics from the 145% reciprocal tariffs bucket.

U.S. stock futures rose on Monday following Friday&#8217;s advances. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher in premarket.
President Donald Trump on Friday temporarily <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44778464/trump-administration-grants-tariff-reprieve-to-tech-industry-apple-and-nvidia-among-beneficiaries">exempted smartphones, computers, and chips</a> from new U.S. reciprocal tariffs, despite a 20% tariff remaining on all Chinese goods, reversing part of a recently imposed 145% tariff.
However, the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated these <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/04/44783093/mark-cuban-examines-trumps-tariff-exemptions-rationale-on-electronics-thats-billions-of-revenue-for-the-usa">electronics exemptions are temporary</a>, and further tariffs could follow soon. Investors also assessed the upbeat bank earnings and cooler-than-expected inflation data.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.46% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool&#8217;s </a>projections show markets pricing a 79.3% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks finished Friday&#8217;s session higher, fuelled by robust bank earnings from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), alongside surprisingly cooler producer inflation data up 2.7% year-on-year in March, down by 0.4% monthly.
All S&amp;P 500 sectors saw gains, with energy, information technology, and materials stocks leading the advance.
The positive sentiment resulted in significant weekly gains for the major averages: the S&amp;P 500 rose 5.7%, its best week since November 2023, the Nasdaq surged 7.3%, its best week since November 2022, and the Dow climbed approximately 5%.
The Dow Jones index climbed 619 points or 1.56% to 40,212.71, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index advanced 1.81% to 5,363.36. Nasdaq Composite rose to end 2.06% higher at 16,724.46, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, jumped 1.57% to 1,860.20.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates, given the severe selling in the stock market and high trading volume, &#8220;it appears that much of the selling pressure is starting to be exhausted.&#8221;
&#8220;There is no doubt that there will be ripple effects from the Trump Administration's trade war with China. It is imperative that the velocity of money picks up if news breaks on tariffs diminishing and/or the Fed cutting key interest rates,&#8221; he added.
Amid the growing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) cut its targets for key Chinese stock indexes for a second time this month.
According <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-14/goldman-sachs-cuts-targets-for-china-stocks-second-time-in-april#:~:text=The%20Goldman%20team%20trimmed%20its,to%20soften%20the%20trade%20shock.">to</a> Bloomberg, "U.S.-China trade tensions have soared to unprecedented levels, prompting concerns about global recession, and decoupling risks between the two largest economies globally in other strategic cohorts, notably capital markets, technology, and geopolitics," a team led by Kinger Lau wrote in a note Monday. 
Analysts reduced 12-month price targets for the MSCI China Index to 75 from 81 and the CSI 300 Index to 4,300 from 4,500 points, suggesting potential gains of 12% and 15% respectively based on Friday&#8217;s closing prices.
Meanwhile, Wedbush Securities&#8217; Dan Ives described the exclusion of smartphones and chips from China tariffs as the &#8220;dream scenario&#8221; for tech investors, stating that it&#8217;s a &#8220;game changer.&#8221;

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher: Expert Says 'The Selling Pressure Is Starting To Be Exhausted'

The shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>),&nbsp;Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) climbed during the Monday pre-market trading session as the Trump administration offered a tariff reprieve to the tech industry.
What Happened: President Donald Trump has excluded a range of technology products, including certain consumer electronics made in China, from the reciprocal tariffs. The list of exemptions, released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, effectively reduces the scope of the imposed levies.
The exclusions apply to smartphones, laptops, hard drives, and computer processors and memory chips, shielding them from Trump's proposed 125% tariff on Chinese goods and the baseline 10% global tariff on most other countries. This move provides significant, albeit potentially temporary, relief for global tech giants such as Apple and Nvidia.
The shares of Apple and SMCI climbed 5.37% and 5.31%, respectively, while AMD and Nvidia rose 2.36% and 2.24%, each during the pre-market session.

Why It Matters: The exclusions were included in the original order to prevent additional tariffs on specific sectors from piling up on top of the nationwide rates. This implies that these products may soon face a different tariff structure, likely a reduced rate for China. 
However, this tariff relief could be temporary. This move comes on the heels of President Trump&#8217;s announcement that he would reveal the tariff rate on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44782569/trump-to-unveil-semiconductor-tariff-plan-this-week-signals-flexibility-on-tech-exemptions">imported semiconductors</a> in the coming week amid an investigation into semiconductors as per Section 232 trade law. According to a report by Reuters, Trump emphasized the desire to manufacture semiconductors domestically, suggesting a potential shift in the administration&#8217;s trade policy.
Meanwhile, President Trump emphasized on his Truth Social on Sunday that&nbsp;"NOBODY is getting ‘off the hook'"&nbsp;suggesting that tariffs and levies on tech products are essentially just being shifted to a different category.

Apple, SMCI, Nvidia, AMD And Other Tech Stocks Climb In Monday Pre-Market: What's Going On?

Leading chip manufacturer Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) entered the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining hardware market with its Blockscale chip line but ended it after only a year of operation.
What Happened: In April 2022, Intel launched Blockscale, a set of application-specific integrated circuits designed for cryptocurrency mining in proof-of-work networks. The semiconductor giant initially aimed to supply these chips to companies like Argo Blockchain and Block, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>)
But despite initial optimism, Intel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/04/31864909/intel-signals-end-of-bitcoin-mining-chip-business-amid-cost-cutting-effort">discontinued the line</a> in April 2023. The form stopped taking new orders for the chips and stopped shipping in April 2024.
The decision could have been motivated by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bear-market">prolonged downturn</a> in the cryptocurrency industry, with Bitcoin trading 55% down from its 2021 highs.
However, things have changed remarkably since then.

Cut to April 2025, and Bitcoin was worth $84,307.89 a piece, marking an impressive 186% since Intel ended its mining chips. But that's not all.
The mining sector has also grown by leaps and bounds, with the total Bitcoin hash rate surging by more than 163%, <a href="https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/hashrate-chart">according </a>to Coinwarz data.&nbsp;
Typically, an increase in hash rate implies an increase in computational power needed to perform mining, which, in turn, suggests the entry of more miners into the network.
Interestingly, Intel shares moved in the opposite direction, plummeting 39%, according to the last closed price of $19.74.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $84,539.42, down 0.25% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. 
Shares of Intel closed 0.70% lower at $19.74 during Friday&#8217;s regular session. Year-to-date, the stock has lost 1.55%.

Intel Gave Up On Bitcoin Mining Chip Business Nearly 2 Years Ago — Here's How Its Stock Has Fared Compared With BTC Since Then

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
President Donald Trump's hold on global tariffs but imposition of a 145% levy on Chinese imports led to significant market volatility and eroding confidence in the dollar and Treasuries this week. The 30-year Treasury yield briefly reached 5%, indicating the return of bond vigilantes — investors selling bonds in reaction to policy decisions.
Despite the turmoil, certain stocks have outperformed. For instance, Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) have shown resilience amid the market's fluctuations, demonstrating robust fundamentals and strategic positioning that appeal to investors even during uncertain times.
Overall, while the broader market faces challenges from escalating trade tensions and policy uncertainties, select companies continue to thrive, highlighting the importance of strategic agility and strong fundamentals in navigating volatile economic landscapes.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.
The Bulls

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares have dropped 17% since April 2, more than double the S&amp;P 500's decline in the same period, and Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan views this as a buying opportunity, citing historical data showing average gains of 17% one year after Apple's P/E ratio compresses under 25x.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/04/44674899/broadcom-stock-jumps-on-10-billion-buyback-authorization">"Broadcom Stock Jumps On $10 Billion Buyback Authorization"</a>, by Adam Eckert, reports that Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) shares rose after the company authorized a $10 billion share repurchase program through the end of 2025, reflecting confidence in its semiconductor and infrastructure software businesses.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44683383/marvell-plays-ai-hardball-divestiture-sparks-155-upside-says-analyst">"Marvell Plays AI Hardball: Divestiture Sparks 155% Upside, Says Analyst"</a>, by Surbhi Jain, reports that Marvell Technology Inc.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Apple, Nike, US Steel — And The Markets Ride Out Ongoing Volatility

On Friday, China's General Administration of Customs implemented a new rule that determines the country of origin for semiconductor products based on the location of wafer fabrication — not where the chips are designed, developed, or packaged.
What Happened: As a result of this development, chips designed by U.S.-based companies like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) but manufactured by foundries in Taiwan, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufactoring Co. Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>), will be exempt from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44756353/xi-jinping-says-there-are-no-winners-in-tariff-war-as-china-slaps-125-tariffs-on-us-goods-urges-trump-to-immediately-correct-wrongdoings">China's 125% retaliatory tariffs</a> on U.S. imports, <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/chinas-new-semiconductor-rule-spares-taiwan-fabs-punishes-intel-globalfoundries-and-texas-instruments">reported</a> Tom's Hardware.
However, this rule delivers a blow to U.S. chipmakers like Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), GlobalFoundries (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>), and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), which fabricate their chips domestically.
Products from these companies will now face the full brunt of China&#8217;s import tariffs, dramatically impacting their competitiveness in the Chinese market.

The China Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA) issued a notice clarifying that the "country of origin" for all chips — packaged or unpackaged — will be based solely on where the wafers were processed.
Because China considers Taiwan part of its own territory, chips produced in Taiwanese fabs are not subject to the punitive tariffs, even if designed and sold by American firms.

Why It Matters: This change effectively divides U.S. semiconductor firms into winners and losers. Designers like Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), and Qualcomm benefit from outsourcing production to Taiwan, which keeps their products tariff-free and their access to China intact.
Meanwhile, chipmakers with U.S.-based fabrication operations—such as Intel's fabs in Arizona and Oregon and GlobalFoundries' Fab 8 in New York—are now disadvantaged.
The rule bolsters China's geopolitical stance by treating Taiwan as a domestic supplier and incentivizes more outsourcing to Taiwanese and Chinese foundries, the report noted.
It may also redirect chip business away from U.S. fabs, pushing global firms to avoid sourcing from the U.S. to sidestep tariffs.
In a note released Thursday, Goldman Sachs economists, led by Andrew Tilton, warned that the abrupt hike in U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports — raised to 125% as of April 9 — could significantly impact China's economy and put as many as 20 million export-related jobs at risk.
Qualcomm has a growth score of 60.95, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> companies like Nvidia, AMD, TSMC, Intel, and others.

Trump Tariff Wars: China's New Rule To Exempt Nvidia, Qualcomm And Others From Levies, But These Chip Companies Will Be Hit With 125% Tariffs

Wall Street ended the week on a strong note, with major indices posting their best weekly performance in years, as traders appeared confident that the escalation in the U.S.-China trade war — which led to triple-digit tariff increases on both sides — would be resolved in the near term.
Not even a shocking University of Michigan survey on consumer sentiment — revealing the most pronounced stagflation concerns in decades — nor fears of stress in the Treasury market were enough to curb the surge in dip-buying activity that emerged in the final <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44764554/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-3-year-lows-as-inflation-expectations-spike-to-1981-highs">day of the week.</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street Rallies, Treasury Stress Fades</h1>
The S&amp;P 500 index, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), closed at 5,363, up 1.8% on the day and 5.7% for the week, marking its best weekly performance since October 2023.
From its lows earlier in the week, the index jumped 11% and now sits just four percentage points below the level it held prior to President Donald Trump's tariff announcement on April 2.
The Nasdaq 100 index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), also rose 1.8% on Friday, bringing weekly gains to 7.5% — its strongest performance since November 2022.
Since Monday's lows, tech stocks have surged 13% and are now about three percentage points below pre-tariff levels.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, tracked by the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), rose 1.6%, extending weekly gains to 4.9%, the best week for blue chips since October 2023.
From the week's lows, the Dow has gained about 10%, and it currently trades nearly five percentage points below the level prior to the tariff news.
Materials were the best-performing sector on Friday, with the Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLB#NYSE">XLB</a>) closing 3.5% higher, buoyed by strong rallies in mining stocks.
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) jumped 5.7% on the day and nearly 20% for the week, reaching levels last seen in 2012, as gold prices continued to break record highs.
Tensions in the Treasury market, which had triggered concern in Washington earlier in the day as the 30-year yield hit 5% and the 10-year surpassed 4.5%, eased by the close. The 30-year yield retreated sharply to 4.85%, while the 10-year settled at 4.47%. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) ended in the green, up 0.54%.
Oil prices rose 2.1% to $61.50 a barrel, and copper climbed 4.8%, signaling easing fears about global economic conditions.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also reflected the improved risk sentiment, rising more than 5% to $83,850.
