Billionaire Chase Coleman's Tiger Global bets $180M on surging semiconductor stock Mwangi Enos Mon, May 18, 2026 at 2:37 AM GMT+7 5 min read INTC A stock that has returned 404% in a year, broken through dot-com era highs, and still attracted fresh institutional money is not a story you see often. It's rare, and that rare gem, Intel, is getting it right this time.
Chase Coleman's Tiger Global Management, one of the most closely watched hedge funds on Wall Street with approximately $78 billion in assets under management, according to WhaleWisdom, initiated a brand new position in Intel (INTC) during the first quarter of 2026. The firm acquired 1,638,700 shares valued at approximately $180 million, according to Tiger Global's latest 13F filing.
INTC is up 194.77% year to date and 404.73% over the past year, according to Yahoo Finance. Coleman is not chasing a story that is winding down. He is making a conviction call that the Intel turnaround is still early, and that the market is underpricing what a revived American semiconductor giant means in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) era.
