INTC Stock Falls to $70 on Q4 Revenue Guidance Despite Intel Tops Third-Quarter Earnings Expectations

Intel (INTC) stock fell to $70 after lowering Q4 revenue guidance, despite beating Q3 earnings expectations. Concerns about AI infrastructure demand from tech giants like Google and Microsoft weighed on the stock. Intel's Data Center and AI segment showed strong growth, with Q2 revenue up 59% YoY. Analysts expect server CPU demand to remain robust, but competition may reduce Intel's market share. Q3 guidance projects 19% YoY revenue growth and improved margins.
