Intel fell to its lowest market value in 16 years on Tuesday with a sharp decline on the stock market. The company’s shares fell 7.36 percent at the close, trading at $18.13. With this decline, the company’s total market value fell to $79.06 billion. This figure was the lowest level since July 2009.

Intel’s market value continues to decline

Behind the loss of value is not only the company’s internal structure, but also global developments. The US government’s implementation of new import taxes directly affected technology giants. Intel was one of the companies that suffered the most from this situation.

The company is both having difficulty competing with its competitors in technical terms and is going through a difficult period economically. Increasing costs with the new taxes were among the main factors accelerating the loss of value.

The company is preparing to launch its new processors, codenamed “Panther Lake”, in 2025. The latest generation 18A production process will be used in these processors. The new technology is said to surpass its competitors in terms of performance and efficiency.

However, if this production process fails, analysts say Intel may be considering downsizing its production activities and switching to a structure that focuses solely on product design.

However, Donald Trump’s decision to suspend import duties for countries other than China for 90 days has had a positive impact on the stock value of many technology companies, including Intel. At the time of writing, the company’s total value has reached approximately $94 billion.
