In its first-quarter 2026 investor letter, Alpha Wealth Insiders Fund highlighted stocks like Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC).

On May 21, 2026, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) closed at $118.50 per share. One-month return of Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) was 43.57%, and its shares gained 491.02% over the past 52 weeks.

Alpha Wealth Insiders Fund stated the following regarding Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
“Despite poor fundamentals, we invested heavily in Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), viewing its role as the sole U.S. defense silicon chip foundry as “too big to fail.” We profited handsomely, buying equal amounts at $23.98, $29.60, and $30.70 (August-September) and selling all on March 17th at $45.10. This Intel trade yielded an approximate annualized return of 133%. Intel has since risen to $62.38. I lost conviction when Nvidia’s CEO announced the $20 billion Groq acquisition to specifically compete with Intel in CPUs. Nvidia, a monopolist, is strategically using its capital, including owning Intel stock, for both blocking and seeding, even entering autonomous vehicle competition against its major customer, Tesla.”
