🟢 Intel is trading 3.10% up in pre-market after reports of SK Hynix U.S. manufacturing talks

Intel is trading 3.10% higher at $104.18 after reports that SK Hynix is exploring U.S. memory-chip manufacturing with Intel.

• One possibility is leasing part of Intel’s planned Ohio facility, potentially strengthening Intel’s foundry and domestic-manufacturing outlook.
• Exploratory discussions lifted both companies’ shares, although SK Hynix said September 16, 2026, that no agreement or specific plan has been finalized.
• Nasdaq futures are up 1.09% pre-market, but the company-specific report remains the clearest catalyst.
