Intel stock sinks 17% as weak forecast reignites worries over AI chip supply crunch
Intel shares fell 17% Friday to $45.11 after a weak outlook and ongoing supply chain problems. The selloff wiped out January gains and put over $35 billion in market value at risk. Intel reported Q4 revenue of $13.7 billion and forecast Q1 sales of $11.7–$12.7 billion with a projected EPS of $(0.21). CEO Lip-Bu Tan cited unmet demand; CFO David Zinsner expects supply to hit a low in Q1.
