Intel's disappointing earnings and weak guidance have triggered a 26% premarket slide, dragging down AMD and sparking a broader reassessment of the AI trade's profitability. Despite the sector-wide pain, Nvidia's forward P/E has compressed to 17.7x, the lowest among the Magnificent Seven, suggesting the market may be overreacting to near-term cost fears. This divergence highlights a potential buying opportunity in AI infrastructure leaders while exposing the fragility of the broader semiconductor hardware narrative.
