Why Intel Stock Fell 11.5% Last Month
Why did Intel stock take another dive in April?
Shares of semiconductor veteran Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) swooned 11.5% lower in April 2025, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. There wasn't a single catalyst behind this price drop, but a certain theme developed in this four-week period.

CEO Lip-Bu Tan took the stage at the Vision 2025 conference after market close on March 31 to deliver a keynote, and it turned out to be a detailed turnaround plan. He promised to return Intel to its innovative roots, designing future chips to meet the needs of specific software workloads. He also reiterated Intel's commitment to the Foundry business, putting a world-class semiconductor manufacturer firmly on American soil. But the stock fell the next day because many investors had been hoping for a different strategy -- perhaps disposing of the Foundry segment to refocus Intel on pure processor designs.
