INTC is trading at $46.84 (-3.06%) amid broader semiconductor sector pressures stemming from the new 25% tariff on high-end AI chips and ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.

  • The movement is not driven by company-specific news or announcements on January 16, 2026.
  • The drop occurs despite a modestly positive market session (S&P 500 up 0.07% and Nasdaq up 0.10%).
  • Intel's products are considered less directly impacted by the tariff, but the general sector caution remains high.
