$Intel(INTC.US)INTC holding up despite weak earnings comes down to expectations and positioning. Going into the report, the bar was set extremely low, and a lot of bad news was already priced in. In a rough market, that matters more than absolute results. On top of that, Intel has been trading as a restructuring and policy-driven story, not a pure earnings play. When broader risk assets are under pressure, money often hides in names where downside feels “known.” The stock also had strong technical memory, so buyers defended key levels even as the market sold off.
