Intel stock crashes ~17% in a single session

Intel (INTC) shares plunged roughly 17%, marking one of the company's steepest single-day drops in years. This sell-off came despite Intel beating Q4 2025 earnings expectations. The real problem? A weak outlook for Q1 2026 that badly missed Wall Street's expectations: • Revenue guidance came in below analyst estimates • EPS is expected to be around breakeven or worse • Intel warned of supply constraints and limited production capacity in Al chips and data center products Markets weren't buying the "long-term turnaround" story - and they reacted fast.
