In Intel Corp's own words

What would change the picture for INTC

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

• The Oct. 29, 2026 earnings report (9 days away). Intel Corp beat estimates in all 4 of the last 4 quarters (average surprise +1086.3%); a miss would break that pattern.
• Insider buying: 1 insider bought $10 million in 90 days. More purchases would strengthen that signal; sales by the same people would weaken it.
• Price levels: a close above $140.94 would be a new 52-week high, 53.1% above the latest close of $92.03; a close below $33.62 would be a new 52-week low, 63.5% below it.
• Growth: revenue rose 7.5% year over year in the quarter ending Jun 2026 (trend: accelerating).
• New shares: dilution risk is high now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.
