Why Intel Stock Is Sinking Today
(NASDAQ: INTC) stock is losing ground Monday amid a broader tech-sector slide. The semiconductor company's share price was down 1.6% as of 3:20 p.m. ET after being down by as much as 5% earlier in the session. Meanwhile, the S 500 index was essentially flat for the day and the Nasdaq Composite was off by about 0.6%.
Intel's valuation is moving lower as investors continue to consider the impact that tariffs and other macroeconomic dynamics could have on its business. Some investors are also reducing their exposure to the tech sector ahead of Nvidia's fourth-quarter report, which is scheduled to be released after the market closes on Wednesday.
The technology sector is seeing valuation pullbacks due to macroeconomic risk factors and concerns about the volatility that may follow Nvidia's Q4 release and conference call. Many companies with exposure to the artificial intelligence (AI) space are seeing outsized sell-offs, but Intel's declines actually look fairly moderate compared to the field.
