New York, Feb 24, 2026, 06:09 EST — Premarket.
- Intel edged up about 0.4% ahead of the bell, recouping part of Monday’s 1.1% drop.
- Intel says its CFO, David Zinsner, will be speaking at Morgan Stanley’s TMT conference on March 4.
- Chipmakers grabbed attention again, with Intel logging yet another losing streak amid a broad chip stock selloff.
Intel edged up 0.4% to $43.82 in premarket trading Tuesday, following news that its CFO will appear at an investor event next week.
Intel lost 1.09% Monday, settling at $43.63, notching its fifth straight decline. Investors continued to hunt for clearer signals on chip-sector demand and spending. The drop weighed on broader indexes as well.
Intel CFO David Zinsner will sit down for a fireside chat about the company’s business and strategy at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference on March 4, kicking off at 8:30 a.m. PT. The live webcast and a replay will both be available through Intel’s investor relations site.
U.S. stocks start seeing action in premarket hours, ahead of the 9:30 a.m. open over in New York. Liquidity tends to be lighter before the bell; a single headline can jolt prices sharply.
Intel shares remain about 20% below their 52-week high, keeping attention on factors beyond the recent results. On Monday, the stock lagged Nvidia; Broadcom and Qualcomm weren’t spared either, both sliding.
The company still faces a tough sell with investors. It has to show its turnaround won’t stumble over manufacturing hiccups, bumpy product launches, or the kind of aggressive spending that doesn’t deliver quick returns.
Intel stock took a hard hit late January when its guidance missed Wall Street estimates and the company flagged ongoing supply constraints for its data-center chips. That warning has kept investors on edge, with sentiment still dampened.
A steadier market might help, too. Semiconductor shares, Intel among them, have been all over the map this year.
Bulls have a risk staring them down. If Zinsner signals demand is softening, costs are on the rise, or momentum falls short of what’s already baked into prices, the rebound in the stock could disappear in a hurry—especially with the wider market this jittery.
March 4 comes up next, offering investors a brief window to listen for fresh details on strategy, spending, or demand ahead of companies releasing their next round of updates.
