Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 65 days.
The thesis — published November 9, 2025
Intel looks set for a short-term bounce because the stock has fallen hard and many traders are already negative, which often runs out of steam. Even though one momentum gauge is still weak, the recent trend is stabilizing and trading activity hints sellers are getting tired. Big headlines point to rising power needs in AI data centers and more custom AI chips, keeping Intel in the spending conversation. A rebound is possible, but falling behind Nvidia is a key risk.
Primary drivers
- Stock looks very beaten down, which often leads to a short-term bounce
- AI data centers are expanding, and more clients want custom AI chips
- Recent leaders attract more money, and excitement remains elevated
- Recent trend is steadier even while one momentum gauge stays weak
