Intel Stock Just Erased A $90 Billion Rally

Intel stock is under sharp pressure Friday after one of the most dramatic post-earnings reversals of the year. Shares had surged more than 15 percent following the company's latest earnings report, closing Thursday near 100.24 dollars before jumping to 113.72 dollars in after-hours trading. By Friday's session, however, the rally had completely unraveled, with shares trading roughly 4 percent lower near 96.40 dollars. The pullback erased about 90 billion dollars in market capitalization from Intel's post-earnings peak, underscoring how quickly investor sentiment can shift even after a strong initial reaction. Despite the sharp reversal, Intel remains one of the market's standout performers on a longer-term basis, with the stock still up more than 156 percent year to date. Over the past month, however, INTC has fallen more than 27 percent, reflecting the broader volatility hitting the semiconductor sector. Traders are now watching closely to see whether the post-earnings enthusiasm can reassert itself or whether the recent action signals a more cautious near-term stance toward one of the biggest chip stories of 2026. #INTC #Intel #Stocks 🌐 Find more market-moving insights at https://www.benzinga.com — your one-stop destination for the latest financial news, data, and expert analysis to stay ahead of the markets. 🖥️ Want the same tools the pros use—without the $10K Bloomberg terminal?
