Intel Shares Plunge Nearly 29% After Weak Q4 Revenue Forecast

Intel shares dropped roughly 29% on 30 October 2026 after the chipmaker forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $15 billion to $16 billion, below analysts’ expectations of about $17.1 billion. Intel reported third-quarter revenue of approximately $16.5 billion and adjusted earnings of $0.52 per share, but warned that weaker personal-computer demand and high memory prices were pressuring its outlook. Reuters also reported that an October disruption at Intel’s Israeli factory was expected to reduce fourth-quarter revenue by around $300 million. The weak guidance contributed to a broader semiconductor-sector sell-off; price moves are historical observations from Friday, not live Saturday quotes.
