Jim Cramer posted on July 24, 2026, that bearish Intel analysts were not backing away from their negative stance — instead, in his words, they were 'attempting to double down on their negativity.' He added that those traders appear content with Intel's stock going nowhere, suggesting the bearish camp sees little near-term catalyst for a meaningful move higher.
Cramer also flagged what he called 'SK Hijinx' as an additional headwind weighing on sentiment around Intel. The post drew 96 replies and 259 likes, pointing to a lively debate among investors watching INTC closely at the time.
