Key Takeaways Intel said it will not sell its majority stake in Mobileye, which develops technology self-driving vehicle companies. Selling part or all of Mobileye could have raised some capital as part of Intel's larger turnaround plans.

Mobileye Global Inc. shares surged the most in nearly two years after Intel Corp. said it isn’t “currently” preparing to unload its majority stake in the maker of autonomous driving technology, easing investors’ fears.

That news is behind the surprising strength in shares of Intel stock (up 3% through 11:10 a.m. ET), and in Alphabet (up 1.8%), and in Mobileye most of all -- up 15.3%!
