$Intel(INTC)$ isn't dragged do

$Intel(INTC)$ isn't dragged down by shorts given minimal short interest. Rather, analysts, brokers, and financial media hold biases against $Intel(INTC)$ due to its legacy status as a dominant blue-chip architect—not "trendy tech" in past decades. Now $Intel(INTC)$ operates as a high-end node manufacturer in the US, making adoption essential. Below $100 per share is severely undervalued; skip analysis until $500B market cap. Between $500B and $1.5T market cap, discussions on valuation, cash flow, or capex become meaningful. Debating fundamentals at just $200B market cap for the free world's sole high-end node tech? Unreasonable.

Intel Slumps on Weak Q1 Guidance: Opportunity or Trap?

Intel delivered a mixed Q4: revenue fell 4% YoY but beat estimates, EPS jumped 15% YoY, and Data Center & AI revenue rose 9% above expectations. Intel also completed a $5B equity sale to NVIDIA, and marked 18A as the first leading-edge node in mass production on U.S. soil. However, weak Q1 guidance on revenue, EPS, and gross margin sent shares down 11% after hours. Is Intel’s post-earnings selloff driven more by near-term execution issues or conservative guidance? If supply and yields improve after Q1, can 18A and future 14A customers re-anchor the turnaround story?
