Global semiconductor stocks fell on Friday after a lackluster set of results from U.S. chip firm Intel sent its shares cratering, and a global market sell-off weighed on tech names. Intel shares fell more than 20% in premarket trade in the U.S. on Friday, after the company reported a big miss on earnings in the June quarter and said that it would lay off over 15% of its employees.
Intel was set to erase nearly $25 billion in market value on Friday in what would be its worst selloff since 2000 after it suspended its dividend and slashed its workforce to fund a costly turnaround for its chip-making business.
Chipmaker Intel says it is cutting 15% of its huge workforce—about 15,000 jobs—as it tries to turn its business around to compete with more successful rivals like Nvidia and AMD.
Intel stock dropped 17% after the company reported Q2 earnings. Is it a buy right now?
Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC, ETR:INL) shares slumped after the chipmaker unveiled plans to cut over 15,000 jobs in a bid to rightsize and save up to US$10 billion (£7.9 billion). Some 15% of staff will be laid off through the move to “resize and refocus,” Intel announced in second-quarter results on Thursday.
Intel (INTC) shares plunged in extended trading Thursday after the chipmaker reported quarterly results that missed Wall Street quarterly estimates, issued soft current-quarter guidance, and unveiled a $10 billion cost-cutting plan that includes slashing 15% of its workforce.

Intel Corporation continues to struggle, missing the AI GPU transition and focusing on the foundry business, leading to disappointing financial results. Their Q3 guidance was very weak, with Nvidia now doubling the sales of Intel. The Intel dividend suspension should be the last straw for shareholders, especially with no turnaround in sight.
Chipmaker Intel Corp. is cutting 15% of its massive workforce — about 15,000 jobs — as it tries to turn its business around to compete with more successful rivals like Nvidia and AMD.
Intel (INTC) shares plunged in extended trading Thursday after the company posted a wider-than-expected loss and said it would lay off 15% of its workforce as part of a $10 billion cost-savings plan.
Intel Corporation reported weak quarterly earnings, missing estimates on both revenue and bottom-line numbers, leading to an 18% post-market share price drop. Despite high R&D spending, Intel lags competitors in the AI data center space, with weak growth in key business areas and significant cash flow issues. Intel's weak Q3 guidance, including expected losses per share, indicates ongoing profitability challenges, prompting a plan to cut jobs to improve efficiency.
Intel CEO says he misjudged the boom that has created a windfall for chipmakers such as Nvidia, that are leading the AI race for next generation technology.
