Intel stock collapse worsens as $3.5T chip rout spreads
Intel’s share price continued to decline sharply, deepening losses as the broader semiconductor market, estimated at $3.5 trillion, experiences a prolonged downturn. Analysts cite weak demand, inventory excesses, and competitive pressures as drivers of the slump. The company’s recent earnings missed expectations, prompting further investor concern and contributing to the sector‑wide rout. Shares fell below $30 per share, marking a multi‑year low.
