On October 22, Intel fell 5.20% in Pre-Market Trading. The move followed a target price cut to $105 from $115, while the company heads into its October 29 earnings release with investors turning more cautious on near-term expectations.
Market expectations call for quarterly revenue of $16.453 billion, adjusted EPS of $0.39, and EBIT of $2.639 billion. Recent options activity has also shown more defensive positioning, including more than $5.4 million in synthetic bearish and bear put spread trades, indicating that some institutional investors remain cautious on Intel’s medium- to long-term path even as the broader analyst consensus still implies an overweight view.
