Dear Intel Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 24

Once a towering name in the semiconductor world, Intel (INTC) has seen its shine fade in recent years. Investor sentiment cooled as the company lost ground to fast-moving rivals like Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). A series of missed opportunities in the artificial intelligence (AI) space, combined with a costly and uncertain bet on expanding its foundry business, only deepened the decline, dragging the stock lower throughout 2024.

But after a bruising year, the tide may finally be turning for the chip giant in 2025. Since former board member Lip-Bu Tan stepped in as CEO in March, Intel’s stock has started to show signs of life. Tan has moved quickly to cut costs, reduce headcount, and shake up the company’s layered structure. The goal is to transform a sluggish giant into a faster, leaner contender in a chip industry that’s evolving at lightning speed.
