    Intel Drops 10% After 278% H1 Surge; Valuation Concerns Mount

    Question

    Intel Drops 10% After 278% H1 Surge; Valuation Concerns Mount

    Direct answer

    Intel's massive H1 rally, driven by its 18A process and foundry wins, has hit a valuation wall. With a 10% single-day drop, the market is questioning the sustainability of a triple-digit P/E ratio against 7% revenue growth. While the foundry business is gaining traction with Tesla and Apple, the fundamental disconnect is triggering profit-taking.
