Intel's stock fell sharply by 15.7% last week, retreating from its August rally despite strong Q2 results including revenue and AI growth beats. The decline was driven by profit-taking and concerns over a large non-cash charge and cautious PC demand outlook. HSBC raised its price target from $100 to $200, citing optimism about Intel Foundry Services and advanced packaging demand, making it the most bullish call on the stock. While the broader market remains cautious, Intel still shows a 32% upside to consensus targets and has outperformed the S&P 500 significantly over the past year. Investors face a choice between HSBC's bullish foundry turnaround thesis and risks from ongoing losses and competitive pressures.
