The departure of Gelsinger, who led the company during difficult times, may initially lead to uncertainty among investors. However, the immediate focus on finding a new leadership can attract potential investors if managed correctly. The interim leadership may stabilize operations in the short term, but the fundamental issues with competitiveness against rivals remain. Therefore, while initial reactions may vary, Intel's performance in the coming months will heavily depend on how effectively the new leadership can execute a turnaround strategy.
