Intel Shares Fall After an Earnings Call Disappoints Investors

The hosts said Intel shares fell 30% in a day and 27% over five trading days. They put the stock at about $63, against a peak of $140, while saying the company was still valued at $336 billion. One host linked Intel’s earlier rally to investment by the U.S. government and hopes that hyperscalers would place orders and use the company’s fabs. Another said criticism of the earnings call, including from Jim Cramer, reflected investor disappointment. This was market commentary and the hosts’ assessment, not independent verification of the causes of the share-price move.
