(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) has sparked strong commentary from some of tech's most vocal investors and analysts — and they see big implications for AI, autonomy and the future of manufacturing.
What Happened: On Monday, Tesla confirmed a $16.5 billion multiyear deal with Samsung Electronics to manufacture its next-generation AI6 chip in Texas. Musk said the chips will be built at Samsung's new U.S. facility, calling the strategic importance of the partnership "hard to overstate."
Following the announcement, billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya took to X, formerly Twitter, saying, "Tesla is a physical AI company + software AI company&#8230; the only company, today, that is tying both branches of AI together at scale."

Tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo called the deal a "valuable opportunity" for Tesla to gain real-world foundry experience — something Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) would have never allowed.
"It enables Tesla to enhance its chip design capabilities … which will give them more leverage in future negotiations," he stated.
Kuo also added that while Samsung's 2nm yield (40–45%) trails TSMC and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), the partnership's upside outweighs the risk.
"If production falls short of expectations, the worst-case scenario for Tesla would be to shift the order back to TSMC and absorb the resulting delays to AI6," he said.

Why It's Important: Samsung currently manufactures Tesla's AI4 chips, which are used in the company's Full Self-Driving driver assistance system.
According to Musk, TSMC will handle production of the upcoming AI5 chip, starting in Taiwan and later shifting to Arizona.
While best known as the world's leading memory chip producer, Samsung also operates a foundry business, fabricating custom-designed logic chips for clients.
Its Texas facility plays a key role in Chairman Jay Y Lee's efforts to diversify beyond memory and grow in the contract chip manufacturing space, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/28/business/tesla-samsung-chip-deal">reported</a> CNN.
Despite these ambitions, Samsung holds only 8% of the global foundry market, compared to TSMC's dominant 67%, according to data from market research firm TrendForce.
Price Action: On Monday, Tesla shares rose 3.02% in regular trading and edged up an additional 0.18% after hours, closing at $326.19, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0717">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that TSLA continues to face short-term downward momentum while maintaining strong upward trends over the medium and long term. The stock also scores high on quality metrics, though its valuation remains comparatively weak. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed performance insights are available here</a>.

Tesla's Samsung Deal A 'Valuable Opportunity' To Gain Real-World Experience That TSMC Wouldn't Have Allowed — Experts React To $16.5 Billion Agreement

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has spoken about the AI industry's obsession with benchmarks being outdated — likening it to the processor wars between Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) — and argues it's time to focus on real-world impact, just like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) did.
What Happened: In a conversation with podcaster Theo Von last week at OpenAI's San Francisco office, Altman reflected on the current state of AI development and the so-called "race" to build advanced models or even artificial general intelligence (AGI).
"It certainly feels that way," Altman said when asked if there's a race among companies. "We went through the equivalent of our megahertz race with our benchmark race, and now people kind of don't care about that as much."
He compared the fixation on benchmark scores — once touted by companies like Intel and AMD to promote faster processors — to the early days of personal computing.

Altman noted that Apple eventually shifted away from highlighting raw clock speeds in favor of user experience and overall performance.
"You probably don't even know what the processor speed of your iPhone is today," he said. "I think the same thing is happening in AI."
The OpenAI CEO suggested the focus is shifting toward "who's using the model" and "who's getting the value out of it," rather than who can score highest on test metrics.
He added that while many in the industry believe there's a race toward a singular milestone — perhaps the emergence of self-improving systems or superintelligence — he's personally unsure there's one definitive finish line.

Why It's Important: Altman's remarks come amid increasing scrutiny over the pace and direction of AI development. As competition intensifies between tech giants and new-age startups like OpenAI, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, Anthropic and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), his comments underscore a strategic pivot: from performance metrics to practical deployment and societal impact.
Meanwhile, several high-profile tech CEOs have given their prediction on when artificial general intelligence or AGI will arrive. Altman previously stated that it could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42867568/openai-ceo-sam-altman-predicts-agi-will-arrive-during-the-trump-presidency-says-chips-act-not-effective-enough">introduced during</a> the presidency of Donald Trump.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin said it could arrive before 2030, while Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis offered a more cautious estimate, saying it will likely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45599346/why-googles-demis-hassabis-disagrees-with-co-founder-sergey-brin-on-when-agi-will-arrive-and-sets-a-much-higher-bar">come just after 2030</a>.
Last year, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei suggested that AGI might be achieved as soon as 2026 or 2027, while noting that unexpected external influences could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41928832/anthropic-ceo-says-ai-similar-to-human-intelligence-could-be-around-the-corner-well-get-there-by-2026-or-2027">potentially slow its progress</a>.

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Wall Street looked set to close the week on a high note, with large-cap benchmarks pushing higher in Friday's midday trading as optimism over corporate earnings and progress on global trade talks provided support for risk assets. The S&amp;P 500 climbed 0.4% to 6,390, marking a fresh all-time high and the Nasdaq 100 also rose 0.5% to break above 23,330, led by strength in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/technology-stocks">tech and consumer names. </a>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>QQQ ETF has risen 40% off April&#8217;s lows. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QQQ">Track it now here.</a> </li>

Markets were buoyed by news from Brussels, where European officials confirmed a Sunday meeting with President Donald Trump. Investors are anticipating the U.S. will move forward with a 15% tariff on EU goods, mirroring the Japan deal structure finalized earlier this week.
President Donald Trump indicated confidence that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting rates, just a day after his high-profile visit to Fed Chair Jerome Powell in Washington, D.C.
Yields on 10-year Treasury bonds held steady at 4.40%, unchanged for the week, while the U.S. dollar index rose 0.3%, paring weekly losses but still set to close lower.

'Intel Reveals Plan To Spin Off Networking Business In Memo'- CRN

Shares of Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) tanked in early trading on Friday, after the company on Thursday reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46575967/ge-vernova-posts-better-than-expected-earnings-joins-thermo-fisher-scientific-lennox-international-general-dynamics-and-other-big-stocks-moving-higher-on-wednesday">disappointing earnings for the second quarter</a>.
Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>BofA Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58a5e02943eaaa00018d9399/vivek-arya">analyst Vivek Arya</a> reiterated a Neutral rating and price target of $25.</li>
<li>Rosenblatt Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59972d99803ad30001fc246d/kevin-cassidy">analyst Kevin Cassidy</a> reaffirmed a Sell rating and price target of $14.</li>
<li>Benchmark <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e2ae9e3430dee0001c80e0c/cody-acree">analyst Cody Acree</a> maintained a Hold rating on the stock.</li>
<li>Needham <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e21cde3430dee0001c717dd/quinn-bolton">analyst Quinn Bolton</a> reiterated a Hold rating.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
BofA Securities: Intel delivered a sales beat, but this was "more due to conservative expectations setting around tariffs," Arya said in a note. The company is facing stiff competition from Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Arm Holdings PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) and lacks an AI pipeline, while its manufacturing business is capex-intensive, he commented.
Management guided to third-quarter sales of $13.1 billion, $500 million above consensus, the analyst stated. He added, however, that the gross margin outlook of 36% came in below the consensus of 37.3%.
Rosenblatt Securities: Intel reported revenues of $12.9 billion, topping consensus of $11.97 billion, benefiting from "customer pull-ins to mitigate tariffs," Cassidy said. Non-GAAP gross margins came in at 29.7%, short of the consensus of 36.4%, he added.
Management guided to third-quarter revenue of $13.1 billion at the midpoint, representing a 1.4% year-over-year decline, the analyst stated. "We see the Intel results &#8211; and, more importantly, management's commentary &#8211; as slightly positive, but clearly indicative of a long-term turnaround strategy," he further wrote.
Benchmark: Intel managed to beat revenue estimates due to the "healthy PC market environment and benefiting from pre-tariff pull-in activity," Acree said. The earnings, stripped of one-time charges, beat consensus by 9 cents per share, he added.
Management guided to only breakeven earnings for the third quarter, short of the consensus by 4 cents per share, the analyst stated. It could be "at least several quarters, if not years," before there are any material changes in "Intel's design or manufacturing competitiveness, its market share, its foundry business, or its broader financial picture," he further wrote.
Needham: Intel delivered a strong beat-and-raise quarter, with tariff dynamics continuing to influence customer orders, Bolton said. Management did not quantify the impact from tariffs, he added.
The guidance reflects that the company's performance in the back half of 2025 would be below typical seasonality due to the stronger-than-expected performance in the first half, the analyst stated. "We continue to believe Intel&#8217;s turnaround will take time as it is losing share in DC, is not yet competitive in AI, and Intel 14A at this point is dependent on attracting external customers," he further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of Intel had declined by 9.17% to $20.56 at the time of publication on Friday.

Shares of Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) declined 7.34% in Friday pre-market, after its Q2 earnings per share (EPS) fell short of expectations.
What Happened:&nbsp;On Thursday, Intel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46617195/intel-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-miss-chipmaker-sees-clear-opportunities-to-enhance-competitive-position">reported </a>a revenue of $12.86 billion for the second quarter, surpassing the analyst consensus of $11.91 billion. However, the company&#8217;s adjusted EPS for the quarter was a&nbsp;loss of 10 cents per&nbsp;share, missing the expected&nbsp;earnings of one cent per&nbsp;share.
Despite this, the company&#8217;s total revenue remained flat year-over-year. Intel&#8217;s cash from operations for the quarter was $2.1 billion, leaving the company with around&nbsp;$9.64 billion in cash and&nbsp;cash equivalents at the end of the period.
The chip giant also revealed its plans to slash 15% of its employee base and cancel expenditure worth billions of dollars on new chip facility constructions in Europe
Intel&#8217;s CEO&nbsp;Lip-Bu Tan&nbsp;commented,&nbsp;&#8220;We&nbsp;are also taking the actions&nbsp;needed to build a more&nbsp;financially disciplined foundry. It's going&nbsp;to take time, but we&nbsp;see clear opportunities to enhance&nbsp;our competitive position, improve our&nbsp;profitability and create long-term shareholder&nbsp;value.&#8221;
Intel&#8217;s third-quarter revenue is projected to fall between $12.6 billion and $13.6 billion, with an expected&nbsp;loss of 24 cents per&nbsp;share.

Why It Matters: The chipmaker&#8217;s Q2 results come in the wake of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46621426/intel-ceo-says-hes-making-hard-but-necessary-decisions-as-chipmaker-announces-massive-layoffs-project-cancellations">major overhaul</a> aimed at restoring its competitive edge in the AI-dominated semiconductor landscape. 
The company&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Lip-Bu Tan, who stepped into the top role at Intel in March, faces the monumental challenge of reviving the company and is under pressure to quickly present investors with a clear strategy for addressing its complex array of issues.
Tan has also pledged to prioritize demand-driven investments over what he describes as &#8220;unwise and excessive&#8221; spending of the past, signaling a dramatic shift in its capital expenditure strategy, with plans for aggressive cuts in 2026.
Despite the EPS miss, Intel&#8217;s Q2 revenue beat and the promising outlook for competitive growth could be seen as early signs of the company&#8217;s efforts to regain its competitive position in the semiconductor market.

Intel Stock Declines Over 7% In Friday Pre-Market: What's Going On?

U.S. stock futures swung between gains and losses on Friday after ending on a mixed note on Thursday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.
In the escalating feud between the two, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46620784/trump-powell-clash-over-3-billion-federal-reserve-renovations-in-front-of-reporters">visited the Federal Reserve</a> and met Chairman Jerome Powell, having a public disagreement over the escalating price for renovation work at the Federal Reserve&#8217;s headquarters. 
This occurred just a few days ahead of the Fed&#8217;s decision on interest rates on July 30. Trump has been increasing pressure on Powell to decrease interest rates, while also backing away from his earlier talk of dismissing Powell before his term ends next May.
Meanwhile, the administration&#8217;s Aug. 1 deadline on tariff negotiations also falls on Thursday next week as investors look out for more trade deals.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.42% and the two-year bond was at 3.93%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool&#8217;</a>s projections show markets pricing a 97.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Analysis by Adam Turnquist, the chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, highlighted that the advance-decline line reached new highs before the S&amp;P 500, creating a bullish divergence that supported the case for a sustainable rally.
This followed a recovery from the April 8 low, showing broad participation, with most stocks rebounding sharply from oversold conditions, Turnquist explained.
A rising advance-decline line is indicative of positive market breadth as the number of advancing stocks is outpacing the number of declining stocks. The line is calculated by taking the difference between the number of advancing and declining stocks on the index for a given trading day and adding that difference to the prior day's value.
However, Turnquist noted that &#8220;over the past month, participation in the S&amp;P 500's push to new highs narrowed. For example, without the help from a handful of Magnificent Seven names, the S&amp;P 500 would only be up around 0.5% month-to-date, far below the index's 1.7% total return.&#8221;
This has resulted in the advance-decline line failing to set a new high earlier this month, creating a short-term divergence between price and breadth.
&#8220;Encouragingly, this gap is now closed as participation recently expanded beyond large-cap and/or tech stocks. Yesterday's (Wednesday&#8217;s) new high in the A/D line reinforces the health of the bull market, signaling a broader rally with receding concentration risk,&#8221; he added.
Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates explained that &#8220;we are truly in a special environment and an economic renaissance for the U.S.&#8221;
According to him, as Asia and much of Europe are in the midst of a demographic collapse, the U.S. is better positioned for household formation and better assimilates immigrants.
&#8220;Furthermore, the U.S. is food and energy independent, plus is benefiting from surging exports as well as onshoring. This is why the U.S. dollar suddenly got its &#8216;mojo&#8217; back, since it is obvious that the tariffs are going to help the U.S. to better manage its budget deficit,&#8221; he said.
He concluded by noting that &#8220;Hopefully, all the tariffs will be finalized on August 1st, the Fed signals that rate cuts will be forthcoming and virtually all economic uncertainty will end. As estimates for GDP growth steadily rise, I expect both business and consumer confidence will soar.&#8221;
