Now that Lip-Bu Tan has regained President Donald Trump's support, should investors turn bullish on Intel stock?

Intel (INTC) stock jumped more than 3% in premarket trading on Tuesday after CEO Lip-Bu Tan met with President Trump, who had called for Tan's resignation last week. After the meeting, Trump posted to Truth Social that he had met with Tan along with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.

Trump’s comments indicate a change of heart since last Thursday, when he called for Lip-Bu Tan to “resign immediately ” because he is “highly conflicted” via a post on Truth Social. Such conflicts of interest were outlined in a letter by Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton the day before, who alleged Tan “has deep ties to the Chinese Communists.”
