What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Stock prices for Intel and Amazon fell on October 29, 2026. Intel reported that its 18A server chip is shipping and costs are down about 40%, with data center sales expected to grow mid-teens in Q4. However, the market reacted negatively to accelerated PC revenue decline, which is seen at over 20%, and weak Q4 guidance.
