🧠 Ahead of Intel’s earnings report, a whale boosted leverage to go long on 2.52 million

On the evening of July 17, a “US stock trading king” who had rolled $30k principal into tens of millions used 10x leverage to buy 25k INTC shares. The average entry price was $94.57, for a position value of $2.52 million. As of press time, INTC is up to $100.96, with an unrealized profit of about $160k and a return of 67.5%. Earlier on July 8, he just closed out the previous round of INTC longs, locking in $920k.
This move has a few points worth breaking down:
1. Timing: Just 6 days before the earnings report, he chose to add to the position, and the position size is 2,000 shares larger than the previous round, suggesting he has confidence in the report.
2. Leverage: 10x, liquidation price at $89.69, about 11% away from the current price. If the earnings miss expectations, a drop of more than 11% would trigger liquidation.
3. Related positions: He also holds MU long positions (unrealized profit of $1.48 million), as well as small positions in SNDK and SKHX. Overall, he’s betting on the storage/chip space.
Earnings outlook: Intel’s Q2 revenue guidance is $13.8–$14.8 billion, and non-GAAP EPS is $0.20. The market is currently pricing in optimism, but has the semiconductor cycle recovery been reflected enough?
