What Happened With Intel Stock Today?
Portfolio Pulse from Erica Kollmann
Intel Corp (NASDAQ: INTC) shares closed slightly higher amid a tumultuous trading day for the semiconductor sector. Semiconductor stocks moved lower due to concerns over export restrictions and ASML Holding NV's (NASDAQ: ASML) earnings report. ASML shares fell over 12% after reporting lower-than-expected Q2 numbers. The Biden administration is considering severe trade restrictions on China, and former President Trump suggested Taiwan should pay the U.S. for its defense. Intel is seen as a safer option due to its U.S. manufacturing expansion plans. Intel will report Q2 results on Aug. 1, with analysts expecting earnings of 10 cents per share and revenue of $12.948 billion.
