Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has now reached both of our original price targets, turning this into a strong, well-executed trade from entry to target.
We first recommended INTC on April 14, 2026, near the $65 level. We then provided a mid-trade update on April 27 when Price Target 1 ($75) was reached. As of yesterday, the stock has now pushed through both original targets, marking a gain of roughly 27%+ from entry in under three weeks.
That’s exactly the kind of move we want to see — strong follow-through, clear upside momentum, and targets being reached in a relatively short period of time.
How We’d Manage the Trade From Here
For traders looking to redeploy capital: The trade has now run its full course, with both original targets achieved. This is a clean, disciplined exit point. Consider closing the position and locking in gains in full.
For traders who want to let it ride: You may consider holding half the position, with $90 — our second price target — now acting as a trailing stop on a closing basis. If the stock closes below that level, exit the remainder. If momentum continues and the stock pushes higher, you can continue taking profits into strength.
Bottom Line
This was a strong trade from start to finish. Whether you decide to exit completely or trail part of the position, the key now is protecting what you’ve earned.
The best trades aren’t just the ones that work — they’re the ones where you stay disciplined enough not to give back a big win.
Happy Trading!
