Intel Shares Drop 29% Following Disappointing Q3 Results and Weak Guidance
Intel (INTC) experienced its worst single-day performance since 1974, with shares plunging 29% to approximately $65 following a third-quarter earnings report. While the company beat earnings estimates, revenue fell short of consensus due to weakness in the personal computer segment and supply constraints in the server market. Despite an 80% year-over-year increase in data center and AI revenue to $7.3 billion, production issues and poor planning assumptions have hampered Intel's ability to meet surging demand. Wall Street analysts remain divided on the stock's outlook. Some firms, including Bank of America and Roth Capital Partners, downgraded the stock to neutral, citing capacity issues that may lead to stagnant performance in the near term. Conversely, others like KeyBanc view the sell-off as an overreaction, suggesting a recovery could begin once production capacity stabilizes in 2026 or 2027.
