INTC is trading at 5.02% down now at $36.20 after investors sold shares ahead of Intel’s highly anticipated Q3 earnings report scheduled for October 23, 2025. The drop follows a recent rally driven by multibillion-dollar investments from Nvidia and the US government, but analysts remain cautious about Intel’s stagnant revenue growth and potential weaker guidance due to the sale of its Altera business. Elevated volatility and skepticism about the sustainability of the stock’s recent surge have contributed to today’s decline, making Intel the worst performer in the S&P 500 as of mid-day. Broader market weakness is also weighing on the stock.
