Direxion Daily INTC Bull 2X ETF

LINT

Market cap $115M

In one of the most jaw-dropping Lazarus acts in recent memory, Intel (INTC), once seemingly left for dead by some tech investors, is up a staggering 443.9% over the past year. That includes a scintillating 149.11% run over just the past 90 days.

Leveraged ETFs tied to Intel, Bloom Energy and AAOI skyrocketed in April, riding AI demand, earnings strength and surging energy trends.

After positive earnings releases from peer semiconductors like Texas Instruments, Taiwan Semiconductor, and ASML, it was Intel's turn to further support the notion that the semiconductor industry is doing just fine amid the recent volatility.

Stacy Rasgon of Bernstein said surging AI demand is driving semiconductor stocks higher, but highlights growing imbalances across the sector.

As Intel stock reminded traders, what may seem bullish on paper doesn't necessarily translate to the market. Despite beating Wall Street expectations on earnings per share and revenue, the stock dropped by as much as 13% after the market was already closed following the company's Q4/full-year earnings report on Wednesday (January 22).

Direxion is sharpening its focus on the fast-moving, high-conviction corner of the market with the launch of five new single-stock daily leveraged and inverse ETFs packaged for traders who thrive on speed, volatility, and laser-focused thematic bets.

Direxion continues to expand its single-stock ETF offerings for tactical traders. It has introduced five new single stock funds that add exposure to Oracle, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Intel.
