  • Intel Shares Pull Back from $700 Billion Market Cap Amid Chip Sector Selloff
    June 28, 2026, 11:18 AM EDT. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) shares fell 3.42% to $128.32 on Friday, retreating from a 52-week high of $141.45 and slipping below a $700 billion market capitalization target, closing at around $645 billion. The selloff in semiconductor stocks, including a 5.3% drop in the PHLX Semiconductor Index, reflects investor concerns over AI spending and profit margins. Intel traded approximately 587 million shares during the week, outpacing its short interest, indicating broader selling pressure rather than a short squeeze. Despite setbacks, Intel expects revenue growth in its foundry, packaging, and data center segments, guiding Q2 revenue between $13.8 billion and $14.8 billion. The company's financial performance and margin progress will be closely watched amid ongoing sector volatility.
