New York, Feb 24, 2026, 06:09 EST — Premarket.
- Intel gained roughly 0.4% in premarket trading, clawing back some ground after slipping 1.1% on Monday. (MarketWatch)
- Intel CFO David Zinsner is set to appear at Morgan Stanley’s TMT conference on March 4, the company announced. (intc.com)
- Chip stocks are back in focus as investors process a sweeping selloff and another string of losses from Intel. (MarketWatch)
Intel picked up 0.4%, trading at $43.82 before the bell on Tuesday, after the company announced its CFO is set to speak at an investor event next week. (MarketWatch)
The slide is notable, with Intel down 1.09% to $43.63 on Monday—marking a fifth consecutive drop. This comes as investors keep searching for firmer signs of demand and spending across the chip industry. The session pulled the wider market down, too. (MarketWatch)
Intel’s CFO David Zinsner is set to join a fireside chat focused on the company’s business and strategy at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, scheduled for March 4 at 8:30 a.m. PT. Investors can catch the live webcast and replay on Intel’s investor relations page. (intc.com)
Premarket trading kicks off ahead of the 9:30 a.m. New York open for U.S. stocks. It’s often a thinner market—headline-driven moves can hit prices hard.
Intel shares are still trading roughly 20% shy of their 52-week peak, putting investor focus on more than just the latest earnings figures. The stock trailed Nvidia on Monday; Broadcom and Qualcomm slipped as well. (MarketWatch)
The company’s pitch to investors isn’t getting any easier: it needs to prove its turnaround won’t get tripped up by manufacturing snags, awkward product launches, or heavy spending that won’t pay off right away.
Intel shares slid sharply in late January, after the company’s outlook fell short of analyst targets and it warned about supply bottlenecks in its push to deliver data-center chips—a blow to sentiment that hasn’t faded. (Reuters)
A calmer market backdrop could also make a difference. Semiconductor stocks have swung wildly this year—Intel included.
Bulls face a clear hazard here. Should Zinsner indicate demand is weakening, costs are climbing, or the pace lags what investors have priced in, the stock’s rebound could evaporate fast—particularly given how skittish the broader market is right now.
March 4 is on deck—a quick pit stop for investors hoping to catch anything new on strategy, spending, or demand before companies roll out their latest updates. (intc.com)
