Intel Kickstarts Rally Bets Ahead of Q4 as Options Sprint

Intel (INTC) rose in pre-market trading ahead of its Q4 results after an 11.7% rally the prior day, with earnings expected at roughly $0.08 per share on about $13.40 billion in revenue (down ~38.5% YoY and 6% respectively). Options activity surged, with call trading near its 10-session average and traders pricing in about a 9.3% move post-earnings, signaling a likely near-term swing. Analysts are mixed: RBC Neutral; Bernstein raised its target to $36; Seaport Global upgraded to Buy with a $65 target. The street shows a Hold consensus and an average price target of about $44.29, implying notable downside risk from current levels despite the optimism around Intel’s foundry progress and PC/server demand.

Reddit plans to sell around 22 million shares priced between $31 to $34 in its upcoming IPO, potentially raising up to $748 million at a valuation of nearly $6.5 billion.
