Intel’s stock has plummeted following the abrupt departure of CEO Pat Gelsinger, with shares dropping over 13% this week alone. Industry analysts criticize the Intel board for its apparent lack of a succession plan, leaving investors and customers uncertain about its future. Gelsinger’s exit reportedly stems from board dissatisfaction with his turnaround strategy, while interim leadership by David Zinsner and Michelle Johnston Holthaus has failed to reassure markets. With competitors like Nvidia and AMD gaining ground, Intel faces mounting pressure to stabilize its leadership and redefine its strategy.
My Take
The lack of a clear succession plan underscores the importance of strong governance. Intel’s next steps should prioritize rebuilding stakeholder confidence with a compelling vision and decisive leadership. Interim leadership or the BOD needs to step up until a new CEO is in place.
