Intel CEO Buys $10 Million Worth of Company Stock Amid Strong Q2 Performance
In early August 2026, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan purchased over $10 million worth of company stock at a price of $95 per share. This move comes shortly after the chipmaker reported its strongest quarterly growth in more than 15 years and delivered strong results across key segments like data center and AI computing. Tan's purchase is seen as a significant signal of confidence, particularly given that it followed Intel’s Q2 earnings report which showed total revenue of $16.1 billion — up 25% year-over-year — with the company also doubling its adjusted EPS estimate. The CEO appears to be betting on continued momentum in AI-driven compute and manufacturing leadership. The timing is notable as Tan bought shares during a stock price pullback, which followed broader market volatility and an equity offering by Intel itself at $95 per share. His purchase suggests he believes the valuation remains attractive despite recent fluctuations.
