Shares of Intel (INTC) have trailed the broader markets by a significant margin in recent years. In fact, Intel stock touched an all-time high during the dot-com boom and has burnt investor wealth for over two decades.

A tech publication writes of the “near certainty” that a company is interested in buying Intel. But it’s not clear which one might fit the bill.

Shares of the chipmaker are rising today alongside broader markets, leaving them up more than 8% in January and outpacing the S&P 500.
