Akcje Intela spadły w ciągu nocy o około 30%, zmniejszając kapitalizację rynkową firmy o około 39 miliardów dolarów od czasu pojawienia się pogłosek o zbliżających się zwolnieniach. Niszczycielskie wyniki pojawiły się po tym, jak gigant chipowy zgłosił stratę za drugi kwartał, narzekał na problemy z wydajnością procesora Meteor Lake, przedstawił skromne prognozy biznesowe na kilka następnych kwartałów i ogłosił plany zwolnienia 15 000 osób na całym świecie.

Intel's stock dropped around 30% overnight, shaving some $39 billion from the company's market capitalization since rumors of a pending layoff first emerged. The devastating results come after the chip giant reported a loss for the second quarter, complained about yield issues with the Meteor Lake CPU, provided a modest business outlook for the next few quarters, and announced plans to lay off 15,000 people worldwide.

When the NYSE closed on July 31, Intel's market capitalization was $130.86 billion. Then, a report about Intel's massive layoffs was published, and the company's market capitalization dropped sharply to $123.96 billion on August 1. Following Intel's financial report yesterday, the company's capitalization dropped to $91.86 billion. Essentially, Intel has lost half of its capitalization since January. As of now, Intel's market value is a fraction of Nvidia's worth and less than half of AMD's.

As Intel's actions look rather desperate, analysts believe that Intel's challenges are existential. "Intel's issues are now approaching the existential," Stacy Rasgon, an analyst with Bernstein, told Reuters.
