| User | Post | Sentiment | Time | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| trade_wid_me | Interesting $INTC setup: Altera is preparing an IPO that could raise $2B+. Intel still owns 49%. Last deal marked Altera at $8.75B, so the IPO could give Intel a fresh public mark on that stake | Bullish | Thu, 10 Sep 2026 23:59:02 GMT | https://x.com/trade_wid_me/status/2098199602050875837 |
| TheFlowStateX | Same multiple as the 2019 and 2022 lows — but earnings power is multiples of what it was in 2019, so the ratio masks a very different business. The more interesting signal is the quoted 13F: $NVDA deploying $30B of its balance sheet into $INTC stock. | Bullish | Thu, 10 Sep 2026 23:56:04 GMT | https://x.com/TheFlowStateX/status/2098198854894051436 |
| legionbirdman | $INTC looks weak here, plain and simple. The stock had a quick pop early and tagged $100.99, but that move got sold almost right away. ... My take: this was a failed early push that turned into a clean breakdown. Until INTC can get back above the $100 area and hold it, sellers still look in control. | Bearish | Thu, 10 Sep 2026 23:48:14 GMT | https://x.com/legionbirdman/status/2098196885177868606 |
| QSG_Research | BREAKING: ALTERA PREPARES CONFIDENTIAL IPO FILING - Bloomberg $INTC An IPO would accelerate Intel's first $500 million deferred payment from the Altera sale. It would also give Intel a public mark on its remaining 49% stake. | Bullish | Thu, 10 Sep 2026 23:41:55 GMT | https://x.com/QSG_Research/status/2098195296383565928 |
| goldennrookie | $INTC kinda expected this short-term chop after ripping 20%+ last week and running into that 107 supply zone / call wall. ... Still targeting 140 and 180+ longer term on this one. If it dips under 96 I’ll reload the LEAPs. | Bullish | Thu, 10 Sep 2026 23:35:11 GMT | https://x.com/goldennrookie/status/2098193599418572915 |
