While Nvidia’s (NVDA) price action is a case study for stocks going parabolic, the Jensen Huang-led company’s returns have been quite muted of late. Meanwhile, Intel (INTC), which was in the news not long ago for falling to multi-year lows, seems to have entered Nvidia’s orbit (sort of) and has been hitting multi-year highs.
After gaining 84% in 2025, the stock was up over 22% year-to-date (YTD) as of Friday's closing prices. However, as typical after such rallies, Intel faced a reality check following the Q4 2025 confessional yesterday and is down in the double digits. So, does it make sense to buy the dip in INTC stock today, beginning with a snapshot of the once-iconic chipmaker's Q4 earnings?
