Intel shares plummeted over 30%, wiping out more than $137 billion in market cap, potentially marking the largest single-day drop in history. The crash was driven by fourth-quarter revenue guidance significantly below analyst expectations and warnings that a weak PC market and rising memory costs will persist into early 2027. Despite year-over-year growth in Q3 revenue, negative cash flow and supply disruptions from an Israeli factory incident have intensified investor concerns regarding Intel's ability to meet data center demand for AI chips.

    Intel Shares Plunge Over 30% on Weak Q4 Guidance and PC Slump

    • Intel's Q4 revenue guidance ($15-16B) fell far short of analyst estimates ($17.07B), causing record stock decline.
    • Global PC market weakness is expected to persist until H1 2027, with client computing revenue projected to drop over 20% quarter-over-quarter.
    • An explosion at Intel's Israel facility caused ~$600M in lost revenue, while capacity constraints hinder meeting data center AI chip demand.
