Intel Reports Best Quarter in Years, Yet Crashes 8% — Why?
Intel closed down 7.89% Friday despite delivering what management called its best quarterly results in years, with a related ETF briefly triggering a 20%-level plunge and roughly $90 billion in market cap erased. Markets questioned the sustainability of gross margin recovery and advanced node ramp, reading the beat as a one-time bounce rather than a structural inflection. Management countered by highlighting AI chip packaging investments as part of a long-term turnaround narrative. When a record quarter triggers the steepest selloff, is Intel's comeback story disproven or unfairly punished?
