Intel Is Still ‘Too-Strategic-To-Fail’
Intel shares crashed between 25% and 29% in premarket trading following earnings reports, marking the company's worst day in over 50 years. The decline wiped $12 billion off the government's stake in the company. Investors are reacting to concerns regarding the massive scale of AI spending among tech giants and whether those investments will yield returns. Despite the rout, some analysts suggest a contrarian buying case exists due to opportunities in the AI server market, while others maintain the company remains too strategic to fail.
