Week ahead: Gathering intel on Intel | Business
2 min readThe pandemic has powered big gains in big technology companies, but not the biggest semiconductor maker. Shares of Intel have rallied only about half as much as the NASDAQ off their COVID-19 lows a year ago. The stock’s 2020 performance was much worse than the tech index overall.
Shareholders expect to hear more from the company on Tuesday when new CEO Pat Gelsinger holds a public webcast. He has promised “a business update” and “the new era of innovation and leadership.”
