Our INTC data runs from Apr 27, 2012 to Nov 2, 2026. Highs set before that date still count, so a decline that was already under way on the first day is shown from its low in our data and marked as such. Days are calendar days. The backdrop column names a period only where both the peak and the low fall inside a very well-known market episode.

What the history shows

  • -The deepest decline was 70.8%, from Apr 9, 2021 to a low on Apr 8, 2025.
  • -The fastest 20%+ fall took 25 days (23.4%, May 2026 to June 2026).
  • -Completed recoveries took a median of 269 days (about 9 months) from trough to a new high, ranging from 13 days to 1,931 days (about 5.3 years).
  • -The June 2026 to November 2026 decline had not closed back at its prior high as of Nov 2, 2026.

A fall of 20% or more from a high is the usual rule of thumb for a bear market, and single stocks have them far more often than broad indexes. These figures describe what happened to INTC in the past. They do not predict what comes next and are not advice to buy or sell.
