Intel's New CEO Puts $10M on the Table

ISB Research · Interesting · sent to Ultimate members August 14, 2026

Ten million dollars, right at $95. Lip-Bu Tan is running Intel's turnaround and he just backed it with real cash, not a token purchase. The 8-day just crossed above the 20-day, price is holding at $102.50, and Intel insiders have hit 68% of the time at 90 days with a near 5% average return. Semis are firm and the setup is clean, but Intel is still a show-me story until the foundry business proves out. You could sell the $85/$80 put spread expiring September 18 for a $0.65 credit, an 82% chance of keeping it, and a shot at getting long well under the CEO's price if it pulls back.
