On July 20, Intel rose 3.01% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $97.87/share, with turnover of $65.11 million. The move was driven by a broad semiconductor sector rebound following last week's collective sell-off, combined with optimistic expectations ahead of the company's Q2 earnings report scheduled for July 23.
The semiconductor sector staged a technical recovery after the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index previously dropped over 20% from its historical high. Peers including Micron Technology rose 5.15%, SK Hynix gained 5.99%, and AMD climbed 3.79%, lifting Intel in tandem. Additionally, multiple Wall Street firms recently raised their price targets on Intel: KeyBanc upgraded from $110 to $155, Susquehanna raised to $115, and UBS lifted from $83 to $121. Market consensus expects Q2 revenue of $14.413 billion, representing a 20.95% year-over-year increase, with focus on data center and foundry business momentum.
