§2 Bärenszenario
If the Intel 18A node fails to achieve parity with TSMC, external foundry customers will not materialize, leaving Intel bearing the full weight of a bloated, underutilized fab network. This structurally destroys terminal margins and free cash flow.
Wie diese These scheitern kann
Intel 18A Parity Failure
· High
Process node roadmap fails to deliver density/power parity with TSMC, preventing meaningful third-party foundry volume.
FV impact
Severe downside to sub-$10 floor.
Trigger
