Here are the key news stories impacting Intel this week:

• Positive Sentiment: NVIDIA disclosed a huge Q4 13F holding in Intel (≈214 million shares, ~$7.9B), making Intel one of NVDA’s largest public equity positions — a signal that NVDA sees strategic value in Intel (and that NVDA may support Intel’s role in AI/CPU stacks).

• Negative Sentiment: NVIDIA’s expanding partnership with Meta (multi‑year GPU + CPU deployment) raises the prospect that major hyperscalers will rely more on NVIDIA’s integrated stacks and third‑party Arm-based CPU suppliers — a potential loss of server CPU demand for Intel and AMD. Analysts called the deal a threat to Intel’s data‑center position. Nvidia pushes into Intel and AMD’s turf with a ‘multigenerational’ Meta deal
• Negative Sentiment: Execution and guidance concerns persist: recent coverage highlights weak foundry yields (well below peers), multi‑year foundry losses, and soft revenue guidance despite an EPS beat — factors that keep downside risk if Intel cannot prove improving yields and margin leverage. Intel stock falls as foundry struggles and weak guidance weigh on shares
• Neutral Sentiment: Wall‑street tone is mixed: some firms have reiterated neutral/show‑me views (DA Davidson, Bernstein reaffirmations), reflecting that the stock’s valuation already prices high hopes for a turnaround — so results and execution updates will be key catalysts.
