Intel's stock is sliding sharply, on pace for its steepest single-day drop in roughly two years, according to MarketWatch. The selloff comes as the company's personal computer division faces mounting headwinds.
MarketWatch reports that rising memory-chip prices are driving up costs for PC makers, while corporate IT departments are pulling back on spending for new laptops. That combination is squeezing demand for the chips Intel relies on to power its PC business, a key pillar of its revenue.
The pressure on Intel's PC segment highlights broader challenges facing the chipmaker as it works to stabilize its business amid shifting corporate tech budgets and a volatile memory market.
