      On Thu, 29 Oct 2026, $Intel(INTC)$ reported its Q3 earnings after market closed for the day. On Fri, 30 Oct 2026 morning, when trading resumed - INTC suffered a massive selloff, opening down roughly -25.8% at $68.36 per share. (see below) Based on subsequent media coverage and corroborating earnings reports, market's reaction to INTC was driven primarily by a major guidance miss, rather than the quarterly results reported on Thursday evening. What happened ? On surface, INTC handed in a solid Q3 2026 earnings report card: Adjusted EPS: $0.52 vs $0.40 expected Revenue: $16.51 billion vs $16.5 billion expected Revenue grew about +21% YoY.

      "Incompetent management, rotten culture, zero moat. It’s a broken company." In December 2024, a former Intel engineer posted this blunt assessment on social media, urging everyone to stay far away from the stock. He had lived through Intel’s most turbulent years, watching the company burn tens of billions of dollars in cash flow on mediocre acquisitions and endless high-level infighting. He knew, far better than any Wall Street analyst, that Intel's core issue wasn't a lack of market demand. It was a failure of execution, rotten to the core. Fast-forward to today. Intel has just dropped a disastrous earnings report: hitting a hard ceiling on the supply side, facing severe substrate shortages, and suffering a tragic accident that halted production at a key factory.

      Intel Down 28.6%: Government Backing Isn’t a Substitute for Profits

      $Intel(INTC)$ suffered a brutal 28.58% decline on Friday, closing at $65.76. The reported $11 billion paper loss on the US government’s investment adds another layer of concern. For investors, this raises a bigger question: has the market overreacted, or is Intel facing a more fundamental problem that government support cannot solve? I think this is a stock worth watching, but I would be careful about calling it a bargain simply because the share price has fallen sharply. 1.

What happened Intel closed Friday at $65.76, down 28.58% from Thursday's $92.07. According to CNBC, it was the stock's worst day since 1974.

The odd part is that the quarter itself was good: - Revenue: $16.5 billion, up 21% year over year - Adjusted EPS: $0.52, against about $0.41 expected - Non-GAAP gross margin: 44.1%, up 4.1 points The market sold the outlook, not the quarter.

      The PC Recovery Is Losing Momentum: What Intel’s Warning Means for Dell and HP

      Intel’s latest results have created an uncomfortable contrast for the technology sector. While demand for AI infrastructure continues to expand, the traditional PC business is showing signs of weakness. Its disappointing fourth-quarter outlook has also raised questions about whether the expected PC recovery is arriving more slowly than investors anticipated. Intel shares fell 3.62% during Thursday’s session before plunging 23% after hours. The reaction was not simply about one quarterly earnings miss. Investors were responding to weaker forward guidance and concerns that the company’s operating challenges could continue into the next quarter. Intel reported Q3 revenue of $16.5 billion, below expectations, while adjusted earnings per share of $0.41 slightly exceeded forecasts. However, its

      $Intel(INTC)$  latest earnings report highlights an interesting divide in the technology sector. While demand for AI infrastructure and data-centre processors remains strong, the traditional PC business is showing signs of weakness. This raises an important question for investors: is the PC market experiencing a temporary slowdown, or are we entering a longer period of weaker demand? Intel shares fell 3.62% on Thursday before plunging approximately 23% after hours following its disappointing fourth-quarter outlook. What makes the reaction particularly interesting is that the company actually delivered some encouraging results for the third quarter.

The new Classiq acquisition gives investors another exciting narrative: Intel + quantum computing. But I would not buy Intel at $95 because of quantum. Quantum may matter enormously one day. Thursday's earnings are about something much less glamorous and much more important: Can Intel turn booming AI server demand into enough profit to finance its manufacturing comeback?

      I’d wait for confirmation above $92 rather than chase the first rebound. INTC’s 4% rise and heavier trading activity are encouraging, but an oversold bounce is much easier to achieve than a genuine trend reversal. For me, the key signal is not simply crossing $92.09, but holding above it with strong volume and follow-through over subsequent sessions. That would make $100 the next psychological level worth watching. A rejection at $92 followed by a loss of the $86 area would instead suggest the rally was mainly technical. Longer term, I care more about Intel’s execution than RSI or MACD: foundry customers, manufacturing yields, margins and evidence that heavy investment can eventually generate attractive returns. So my view: cautiously bullish above $92 with confirmation, neutral at $86–$9
