After years in the shadow of NVIDIA and AMD, Intel ($INTC) just reminded the market it’s still alive — and still massive. Q3 results came in better than expected, signaling that demand for its bread-and-butter PC chips is stabilizing. Revenue hit $13.65B vs $13.14B estimated, driven by stronger x86 processor shipments, while adjusted EPS came in at $0.23 — not dazzling, but steady. It’s also the first quarter since the U.S. government quietly became Intel’s largest shareholder, taking a 10% stake as part of its CHIPS Act initiative.

Tech Weekly: ChatGPT Hits Brakes, Meta Off-Balance Gambit—How AI, and Earnings Bust the Deadlock?

Last week, the $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ (fear index) surged sharply, and gold prices kept pushing to new highs, yet the $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ managed a solid 2.1% gain. The market was busy digesting a short-term pullback in non-profitable tech stocks (down 8% from Thursday to Friday, but still up a slim 0.5% for the week), while chasing assets with strong long-term AI narratives—like $Broadcom(AVGO)$ announcing a 10GW partnership and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) noting that "AI demand is stronger than three months ago," which propelled the semiconductor sector to its best weekly performance since late June.Behind this divergence, investors' real puzzle is: Will pullb

The clean, full-bodied marubozu breakdown on 14Oct25 wasn’t just a bad day; it was a decisive momentum shift that sliced through a multi-month shelf in the mid-$180s, forcing weak hands out and signalling that control has swung sharply to the bears. Price Action Snapshot Nvidia printed a textbook bearish marubozu candle, breaking decisively below critical support with no intraday shadows. The clarity of the move reflects overwhelming sell-side conviction and capitulation from late buyers.

Why the US Bull Market Will Persist: Three Key Reasons Behind Our Confidence

Recently, the US stock market has experienced significant volatility, primarily due to the government shutdown caused by the debt ceiling impasse and the new round of intensified US-China trade tensions initiated by the Trump administration. This led to a sharp decline in global risk assets. The Nasdaq index, dominated by technology stocks, once fell more than 3.5%, while market risk aversion notably increased, with both gold prices and US Treasury yields rising. On October 10, the volatility index (VIX), reflecting market panic, surged to 21.66, indicating a tense market atmosphere.From a valuation perspective, US stocks are generally overvalued, especially Nasdaq tech stocks, whose valuations have exceeded levels before the tariff hike in April this year.

$Intel(INTC)$  Here is my assessment of Intel Corporation (INTC) ahead of its Q3 2025 report — and whether the recent sharp rally is justified. --- ✅ What Intel is doing right and what we can expect 1. Revenue guidance appears solid – Intel has already guided Q3 revenue in the range of $12.6 billion to $13.6 billion, and the midpoint (~$13.1 billion) is modestly above near-term expectations.  This sets a decent floor: if they hit or exceed that range, the market may view it positively. In Q2 they hit ~$12.86 billion in revenue, above the high end of guidance.  2. Cost discipline and turnaround narrative – Management has emphasised reduced op-ex, pruning projects in Germany/Poland, tightening foundry investm

Intel’s Next Chapter: Apple Alliance, $40 Price Target, and the Battle for Relevance

Once the dominant force in semiconductors, it ceded ground to rivals like AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) while losing its manufacturing edge to TSMC (NYSE: TSM).

💻Intel Revenge Comeback! Do You Expect Surprises This Week?

It’s been some time since I last checked Intel’s stock price — honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. The company has had its ups and downs, and I had long associated it with periods of uneven earnings and intense competition. Today, almost on a whim, I decided to look. When I saw the price, I had to double-check. The stock was much higher than I remembered. My first thought: “Wait… when did this happen?” I felt a mix of surprise and curiosity, the kind that makes you lean in closer to the story behind the numbers. Intel (INTC) A little research revealed why. Intel has reportedly approached Apple about a potential investment, hinting at a closer collaboration with the iPhone giant. The talks are still early, nothing is guaranteed, but the market clearly loved the idea — shared closed 6% higher

$Intel(INTC)$   I'm really encouraged by Intel's latest third-quarter sales report, which beat expectations with $13.65 billion in revenue compared to the estimated $13.14 billion. The recovery in demand for their core x86 processors for PCs is a strong signal that the company is regaining its footing. Seeing an EPS of 23 cents, even if not directly comparable to analyst estimates, reinforces my confidence. With the U.S. government stepping in as the top shareholder with a 10% stake in August, I feel there's a solid foundation for stability and growth. Looking ahead, I remain bullish on Intel in the long run. The resurgence in processor demand suggests that Intel is well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing n
