Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 72 days.
The thesis — published November 10, 2025
Intel looks beaten down, with many investors hopeful but the business still lagging. Recent price signals are weak, yet news about its new 18A chip process and Gaudi 3 AI cards points to a possible turnaround. Trading activity is heavier than normal, suggesting lots more people are buying than usual. A 3-month bounce could happen, but start slowly and keep losses small until the trend clearly turns up.
Primary drivers
- The stock has fallen hard and looks washed out, which can set up a bounce soon.
- New chip tech (18A) and Gaudi 3 AI hardware could restart growth over time.
- Investor mood is upbeat, but the companys current results still look soft.
- A short-term rebound is possible, but delivery and timing risks stay high.
