Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has reportedly begun early-stage discussions with Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) and Samsung Electronics Co.
Stock futures were rising Tuesday as investors shrugged off a flare-up of tensions in the Middle East. Palantir Technologies slid 3.3% even as the data-wrangling software developer’s first-quarter earnings topped Wall Street’s expectations on all key metrics.

The board chairman of Samsung Electronics has urged unionised workers to resolve pay disputes with management, warning that a planned strike could hurt investors and employees and have "serious consequences" for the Korean economy. In an internal memo to employees on Tuesday, Shin Je-yoon said he was "worried about losing market leadership amid fleeing customers and falling competitiveness" if strikes disrupted deliveries and production, according to a Samsung statement. Such disruption at the chipmaker, South Korea's largest company by revenue, could trigger capital outflows, a drop in national tax revenue, and a weakening of the won currency, he said.
Apple has held exploratory discussions about using Intel and Samsung Electronics to produce the main processors for its devices, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the deliberations.

While the move would offer Apple a secondary option beyond its longtime partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, the iPhone-maker is also concerned about using non-TSMC technology, the report said, citing worries about reliability and scale.

In South Korea, fellow chip makers SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics rose 13% and 5.4%, respectively, helping propel the benchmark index to another record high. Many major Asian indexes were closed on Friday for the May Day holiday, meaning investors were playing catch-up—and opted to double down on some of the chip makers and Big Tech names benefiting from the AI boom when they returned. President Donald Trump on Sunday laid out a plan to escort commercial vessels through the waterway, although tensions escalated after Asian markets closed on Monday when Iranian state media reported that two missiles had hit a U.S. frigate.
