On August 18, Intel fell 5.68% in regular trading, trading at $98.09/share, with turnover of $1.082 billion. The decline was driven by legendary investor Stanley Druckenmiller's newly disclosed Q2 13F filing revealing a complete liquidation of Intel, alongside multiple analyst downgrades.

Druckenmiller's Duquesne Family Office underwent a major portfolio restructuring in Q2, fully exiting Intel, Broadcom, and Micron while pivoting toward AMD and TSMC. On the ratings front, UBS cut Intel's target price from $121 to $112 maintaining a neutral rating, Bank of America lowered its target from $160 to $145 while keeping a buy rating, and Daiwa Securities reduced its target from $100 to $96 with a neutral stance.

Additionally, the options market reflected institutional bearish sentiment, with two large Sell Call trades totaling approximately $9 million dominating flow, signaling limited medium-to-long-term upside potential. The semiconductor sector broadly weakened, with Micron down 3.81%, AMD down 3.49%, SK hynix down 4.83%, and Marvell down 5.25%.
