On July 28, Intel fell 4.82% in regular trading, trading at $87.25/share, with turnover of $745 million. The stock extended its post-earnings decline as investors weighed record revenue growth against a sharply higher capital expenditure trajectory.

On the news front, Intel previously reported Q2 revenue of $16.1 billion, up 25% year-over-year — the strongest quarterly growth in nearly fifteen years — with adjusted EPS of $0.42, double market expectations. Q3 revenue guidance of $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion also far exceeded consensus of $15.1 billion. However, the company raised full-year capital expenditure from $15 billion to $20 billion, with expectations of approximately $30 billion next year, while adjusted free cash flow remains negative. Wedbush noted that improving fundamentals remain constrained by valuation, maintaining a neutral rating. Cantor Fitzgerald cut its target price to $125.

Simultaneously, the broader semiconductor sector experienced heavy selling pressure. Within the sector, Micron Technology fell 7.4%, Advanced Micro Devices fell 6.11%, SK hynix fell 4.98%, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing fell 2.45%, and NVIDIA fell 0.77%, as the market reassessed AI infrastructure investment return efficiency.
