We watch whether it holds above $85.81, the average close of the last 200 sessions, into the third-session close, or slips back under it.

What the Print Record shows
Before this report Intel had beaten the earnings estimate seven times and the revenue estimate eight times in ten reports, yet it fell by more than 3% after seven of them. Its last four reactions in the three sessions after each report were -9.8% (July 2025), +8.8% (October 2025), -19.1% (January 2026) and +26.6% (April 2026). The Street had expected earnings of $0.21 a share and revenue of about $14.4 billion for this quarter. Our record counts zero flat outcomes in ten reports, meaning none finished within 3%.
