Investors trimmed exposure as the stock traded below its recent offering price. The Nasdaq is down 0.75% while the S&P 500 has shed 0.20%, and Technology is also in the red with a 1.5% loss. Zooming out, the sector has gained 3.59% over the past 30 days but is down 2.47% over the past 90 days, which fits a “choppy recovery” backdrop rather than a clean uptrend. **Read Also: Trump Threatens 50% Canada Auto Tariff: Steelmakers Rally While Detroit Stocks Fall** With Consumer Staples (XLP) up 1.41% and Communication Services (XLC) up 1.25% leading today, the market’s leadership is rotating away from pure tech beta—often a headwind for higher-volatility chip names. ## **Equity Raise Details** According to SEC filings, Intel priced 210,526,315 shares at $95 per share. CEO **Lip-Bu Tan** and a family member purchased $12 million in stock, which **Futurum Group** CEO **Daniel Newman** posted on X as “a strong sign of confidence in Intel’s future.” On Aug. 12, **Bank of America** analyst **Vivek Arya** reiterated a Buy rating on Intel but lowered the price forecast from $160 to $145, pointing to 4% to 5% earnings per share dilution from the offering. Bank of America projects Intel Foundry revenue will reach nearly $40 billion by 2030, supported by server CPU sales that could expand to $45 billion by 2030. ## Key Support and Moving Averages Intel Must Reclaim From a longer-term trend view, Intel is still up sharply over the past 12 months, but the intermediate trend has cooled after the stock put in a swing high in June and a swing low in July. Price also broke below support in July, and it’s now trading 8.4% below the 20-day SMA and 18.7% below the 50-day SMA—signs that the recent bounce attempts haven’t reclaimed key trend levels. **INTC Price Action:** Intel shares were down 3.28% at $87.11 at the time of publication on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro data. **Read Also: Bitcoin's 7-Sigma Move Signals a Big ‘Macro Transition’** *Image via Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [INTW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTW.US.md) - [INT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INT.US.md) - [LINT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LINT.US.md) - [INYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INYY.US.md) - [04335.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/04335.HK.md) - [.IXIC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.IXIC.US.md) - [.SPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.SPX.US.md) - [XLP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XLP.US.md) - [XLC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XLC.US.md) - [BAC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC.US.md) - [BAC-Q.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-Q.US.md) - [BML-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BML-L.US.md) - [BAC-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-L.US.md) - [BAC-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-K.US.md) - [BML-H.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BML-H.US.md) - [BAC-N.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-N.US.md) - [BAC-E.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-E.US.md) - [MER-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MER-K.US.md) - [BAC-O.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-O.US.md) - [BML-G.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BML-G.US.md) - [BAC-M.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-M.US.md) - [BAC-B.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-B.US.md) - [BML-J.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BML-J.US.md) - [BAC-S.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-S.US.md) - [BAC-P.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-P.US.md) - [8648.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/8648.JP.md) ## Related News & Research - [Huge, Unusual Put and Call Option Volume in Intel - Investors Bullish as INTC Drops](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296817055.md) - [First National Trust Co Sells 5,719 Shares of Intel Corporation $INTC](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296192854.md) - [Keystone Financial Group Acquires 8,612 Shares of Intel Corporation $INTC](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296082175.md) - [Intel Costs 62 Times Next Year's Earnings.
