Intel’s AI Push Amid Stock Dip | Business and Finance News

Intel’s stock tumbled after announcing a $15 billion share sale to fund AI infrastructure, sparking investor concerns over dilution and overspending — yet the company crushed Q2 earnings with a 25% revenue surge. Despite the dip, its stock has soared 388% in a year, prompting profit-taking as investors eye a tougher Q3. Intel is aggressively betting on physical AI and custom chips, forecasting a massive jump in equipment spending in 2027 fueled by surging demand. Key wins include a foundry deal with Fortinet and rumored mass chip production for Alphabet starting 2028, plus U.S. government contracts via the CHIPS Act. Analysts expect 21% growth — a steep climb from their 41% annualized return — amid fierce competition from TSMC, Nvidia, and AMD.
