The Intel stock collapse is getting worse

Intel shares fell nearly 29%, marking the company's worst single-day performance since 1974. This collapse contributed to a broader chip sector selloff affecting companies including Qualcomm, AMD, Micron, and SanDisk. The decline erased 12 billion dollars from the government's stake in the chipmaker. While the stock also plunged 45% in October, the current crash coincides with a wider market downturn where the Nasdaq 100 fell over 6%, its steepest daily drop since March 2020. Despite the financial losses, some analysts argue Intel remains too strategic to fail.
