🔴 Intel is trading 5.88% down today after massive 17% plunge on Friday from weak Q1 guidance

INTC is trading at $42.42, down 5.88%, continuing losses after issuing disappointing Q1 2026 guidance of $11.7–$12.7B, which significantly missed the $12.5B consensus.

• The decline follows Friday's 17% collapse, despite Intel beating Q4 2025 earnings with $0.15 EPS (87.5% above estimates) and $13.67B revenue.
• Management cited acute internal supply constraints and manufacturing bottlenecks limiting capacity, even amid strong AI data center demand.
• Near-term margin pressure is weighing on sentiment, with Q1 gross margin guidance set at 34.5%, representing a 340 basis point sequential drop.
