Intel beat on earnings and fell 30%. On Hyperliquid, the dip buyers are still underwater, and one short is up $2.2M
Intel reported third-quarter results after Thursday's US close. It beat: revenue $16.5B, up 21% from a year ago, and adjusted earnings of $0.52 a share against its own $0.38 guidance. The problem was the next quarter. According to Investing.com, Intel guided fourth-quarter revenue to $15.0B to $16.0B and earnings to $0.25, and said an incident at its Fab 28 plant in Israel would cost about $300M of revenue. The stock had closed at $92.07.

The short that kept adding
0x0242…ffa1 is the wallet we wrote about on Thursday, short dozens of US stocks at once. It went into the report already short Intel. When the price fell it didn't take profit. It added about $10M of new shorts, from 74 down to 64, through Friday morning US time.
It's now short $12.7M of Intel at 10x, average entry 75.91, up $2.2M.
What to watch
The US stock market reopens Monday at 14:30 UTC. Until then the perp is the only place the price moves. Our call in today's daily analysis: no trade at 70 or above before Monday's US close. That's 0x8eff's entry.
