Intel stock falls 4% pre-earnings as foundry hopes dim and Big Tech earnings disappoint

Intel shares dropped 4% ahead of its Q3 2026 earnings report, pressured by a setback in its foundry business and weak Big Tech results. Terafab's talks with Taiwan Semiconductor undermine Intel's foundry ambitions, which still operates at a loss despite revenue growth. Analysts are cautious due to a declining PC market and supply chain challenges. Intel's upcoming report will be closely watched for new foundry customer announcements amid ongoing AI spending concerns and a soft PC outlook.

Intel shares are trading at USD 91.93, down 3.77% on Pluang as of Oct 30, 2026 00:22 WIB, reflecting investor caution ahead of its Q3 earnings. Alphabet is down sharply by 12.69% at USD 283.66, while Microsoft has edged lower by 1.27% to USD 524.29. Despite the sell-offs, Pluang order activity shows a majority of buyers for Alphabet at 88%, contrasting with Intel's 62% sell orders, highlighting differing investor sentiment among Big Tech names.
