Intel's Is Gaining MomentumPrice Movement
INTC is trading near the top of its 52-week range and above its 200-day simple moving average.
Investors are applying buying pressure to INTC shares today.
Intel (INTC) reported third quarter results that surpassed expectations on both revenue and earnings. The company also issued better-than-expected fourth quarter guidance. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger acknowledges there were some headwinds Intel was facing when he took the job, and his goal was to "rebuild this iconic company." With the latest results, he says "people can see the momentum is building" at Intel thanks to cost-saving initiatives, product execution, and its internal foundry model.
Intel plans to launch new products including the Core Ultra processor, which Gelsinger nicknamed the "AI PC". Gelsinger says the AI PC aims to keep users from having to go to the cloud to utilize AI, instead, the features and data are readily available on the device itself to improve productivity. Gelsinger says these products will help Intel capitalize on the "surge in AI interest we're seeing across the board."
With new products slated to launch over the next two years in its data center unit, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger believes the chipmaker can regain lost market share and boost competitiveness, stating 2024 is when Intel will "start gaining back share" thanks to its upcoming product releases.
