- Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) Stock Price Up 1.7% – Here's Why
Intel shares rose 1.7% on Friday, trading as high as $87.87 and last at $86.96, versus a prior close of $85.49. Mid-day volume was 71,560,092 shares, down 38% from the average of 115,776,344. Supportive news included an FCC waiver allowing Intel to keep using foreign-made robotic devices and Wedbush's view that its Arizona chip plant could provide a potential boost.

- What Investors Overlooked Before Intel's 127% Run
Intel shares returned 127.2% over the past year including dividends, rising from US$38.16 at the start of the period to US$86.96 today. The article contrasts a bullish Fair Value of US$79, based on 10.0% revenue growth and 22.0% profit margins over 5 years, with a cautious Fair Value of US$25.18, based on 3.5% growth and 7.8% margins over 3 years. Google's large TPU order and Terafab's choice of 14A support the bullish case, but Q2 2026 revenue of US$16.13b (versus US$12.86b a year earlier) came with a larger loss and a deeper negative net margin. The article notes today's price is above the cautious Fair Value, so the key question is whether Intel can turn its roadmap and contracts into durable profits.
- Intel Stock Has Moved an Average of 16% the Day After Its Last 3 Reports. Should You Buy Before the Next One?
Intel reports third-quarter results after the close on Oct. 29, and its stock has moved an average of about 16% in the session after its last three reports: down 17% after January, up 24% after April, and down 8% after July. The company beat its own forecasts each time, yet shares fell twice because management's outlook for the coming months carried more weight. The third-quarter revenue midpoint of $16.3 billion is only about 1% above the second quarter, a sharp slowdown, so the fourth-quarter forecast is seen as the key number to watch. At around 44 times expected 2027 earnings, the author argues the share price already reflects a return to growth, and says he would not buy the stock before the report.
- Prediction: Intel Stock Will Take Off After Oct. 29
Intel shares have fallen 31% since the start of July after rising sharply in the first half of 2026. The article argues that third-quarter results due October 29 could support the stock, as demand for server CPUs from AI data centers running inference is outpacing supply, and Intel has raised CPU prices cumulatively by 30% in 2026. Analysts expect third-quarter revenue to rise 21% to $16.5 billion and EPS to reach $0.40, slightly above guidance. The stock trades at just under 50 times forward earnings, compared with 21 times for the Nasdaq-100. SemiAnalysis projects global data center capacity could grow by 51.2 GW in 2027, double the estimated 25 GW addition in 2026.
- Intel Stock Still Trades at 84 Times Earnings After a 35% Drop. I'm Not Buying Yet.
JPMorgan Chase upgraded Intel to neutral from underweight on Monday, Oct. 19, citing growing agentic AI workloads and tight supplies of advanced chips, and the stock ended at $92.03, about 35% below its June 22 record close of $140.94. Intel's second-quarter revenue rose 25% year over year to $16.1 billion, and adjusted EPS of $0.42 lifted the four-quarter total to $1.09, cutting the price-to-earnings ratio to about 84 from nearly 250 at the record. Management guides third-quarter adjusted EPS to $0.38 on revenue of $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion, implying slower growth. The author says the stock is not yet a buy and would want adjusted EPS to climb back above $0.42 before reconsidering; Intel reports third-quarter results on Oct. 29.

- Stock-Split Watch: Is Micron Next?
Micron shares have gained 350% over the past year, outpacing the 68% rise in the PHLX Semiconductor Sector index, but have slid 25% from their 52-week high reached in June this year, a pullback the author attributes more to broader market sentiment than to financial performance. The author suggests management could opt for a stock split, as the last one was in 2000, since a lower share price could make the stock more accessible and spur demand. With shares around $900, Micron trades at 13 times earnings versus 45 for the iShares Semiconductor ETF, and EPS is expected to rise nearly 134% this fiscal year to $176.55. The 12-month median price target of $1,550 implies 70% upside, and 53 of 57 analysts rate the stock a buy. The author argues Micron remains attractive regardless of a split, citing TrendForce's forecast that the global memory market will grow from $889 billion in 2026 to $1.28 trillion next year.
- In 1985, He Was Forced Out of the Company He Founded. Months Later He Bet $10 Million On A Graphics Unit He Bought From George Lucas. By 2006, That Bet Was Worth Far More Than His Apple Stock
After Apple forced him out in 1985, Steve Jobs bought Lucasfilm's computer graphics division for $10 million, which became Pixar. He kept funding the company through lean years, and after Toy Story earned about $400 million and Pixar's 1995 IPO, he owned 80.2% of the company. In January 2006, Disney bought Pixar in an all-stock deal worth about $7.4 billion, giving Jobs roughly 138 million Disney shares valued at about $3.52 billion at the deal price. That stake was about 7.5 times his Apple holdings at the end of 2006, or 4.2 times depending on the share count, which the article notes is unverified. By Jobs's death in 2011, the gap had narrowed as Apple's shares rose sharply, with his Disney stake valued at $4.35 billion and his Apple shares at $2.05 billion.
- With Oil Prices Rising, Bitcoin Remains Stuck Below $85,000. Here's Why I'm Still Buying Bitcoin Right Now.
Bitcoin rose 45% from July to September, from $60,000 to $87,000, but is down 2% in October as soaring oil prices, hovering around $100, have weighed on it. The author argues the usual oil-to-inflation-to-rate-hike chain is not supported by long-term data, since rolling correlations between Bitcoin and WTI or Brent typically sit near zero and appear only over short periods. He sees most daily explanations, such as Bitcoin rising alongside SpaceX's better-than-expected revenue, as noise, and describes Bitcoin as a long-term, buy-and-hold asset prone to short-term volatility. The author says he is still buying Bitcoin regardless of gas prices.
- Prediction: Here's What $500 Invested in Archer Aviation Will Be Worth in 5 Years
The article profiles Archer Aviation (ACHR), a company developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis. JP Morgan analysts project the eVTOL market could be worth $1 trillion by 2040. Archer's second-quarter revenue was just $5 million as it has not yet begun commercial eVTOL operations, while operating losses rose 59% year over year to $279.2 million, mainly due to research and development on its Midnight design. Archer has been selected as the official air taxi provider for the Los Angeles Olympic Games, seen as a key proof of concept. With a $4.4 billion market cap, the article illustrates that a 20% annual return would turn $500 into $1,244.16 by 2031, but calls this a best-case scenario and notes investors face risks of large losses and delays, suggesting it may make more sense to wait for more information before considering a position.
- Why Are Investors Buying Credit Default Swaps to Hedge AI-Related Debt?
Investors are increasingly using credit default swaps (CDS) to hedge debt issued by companies in AI infrastructure, as these firms raise large sums for data centres and chips. Morgan Stanley Research reported weekly CDS trading linked to bonds from Oracle, SpaceX, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Broadcom and Nvidia averaged over $9 billion in September, up from under $2 billion per week in July. AI-linked debt issuance is estimated at $466 billion so far in 2026, versus $101 billion in the same period of 2025. Credit protection costs have hit record levels for several firms, including Oracle at 322 basis points (from 144 at the start of 2026), SpaceX at 226 basis points, Meta at 108 and Nvidia at 101 basis points.
- If the Stock Market Crashes, This Is the First ETF I'm Loading Up On
The article argues that stock markets will eventually crash, and that the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) could be the first ETF the author would add to in such a downturn. QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 and holds major names including Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Micron Technology, Meta Platforms, Alphabet and Tesla, giving broad exposure to the AI trade. The ETF is up 98% over the past three years, and Nasdaq-100 stocks trade at a blended price-to-earnings ratio of about 30, which the article calls already lofty. It notes QQQ fell 83% after the dot-com bubble burst and about 50% during the financial crisis. The piece also flags risks from heavy losses at frontier AI firms such as OpenAI and Anthropic, and suggests that if AI follows the internet's path, QQQ could be a way to take part in the eventual recovery.
