Analysts Concerned Intel (INTC) Could Cut Guidance

Shares of Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) are rising today with the broader markets despite several recent negative analyst comments related to the stock. Intel's stock price is currently up 4.5% to $13.89.

First, analysts at Stifel Nicolaus cut their price target on Intel this morning, citing possible negative estimate revisions for semiconductor companies such as Intel amid weak market conditions.
