Intel surpassed its August 2000 record on April 24, 2026, climbed to about $141 in June, and fell below the dot-com-era peak again on October 30, roughly six months later. According to Sina Finance, citing Yahoo Finance, five other dot-com-era leaders also continued falling after their shares were first cut in half; Microsoft declined another 30%, while Amazon fell 88%. Senior trader Michael Martin said a lower share price reflects a smaller market capitalization, not necessarily greater investment value, and advised short-term traders to follow trading discipline. Intel closed at $56 last Friday, still up about 50% for the year.
