Intel Considers Outsiders for CEO, Including Marvell’s Head

Published On Dec 3, 2024, 2:54 PM

Intel is actively searching for a new CEO, considering external candidates such as Matt Murphy from Marvell Technology and Lip-Bu Tan from Cadence Design Systems. This shift comes after the recent dismissal of CEO Pat Gelsinger, as the company looks to overhaul its management amid a challenging tech landscape. The search is being aided by the executive search firm Spencer Stuart. Analysts express skepticism about finding a suitable outsider who can effectively lead Intel, given the complexities of the business and the current competitive pressures it faces.

Stock Forecasts

Intel's ongoing leadership upheaval and the search for a new CEO could lead to short-term instability in its stock price as investors react to leadership uncertainty. However, if a strong candidate is chosen, there could be a stabilization and potential positive outlook in the medium to long term as a new strategic direction is implemented. Currently, the outlook remains cautious given the company's struggles.

Marvell's stock has already experienced a downturn due to speculation about its CEO potentially moving to Intel. Depending on how Intel's search progresses, Marvell may continue to see volatility. If Murphy remains at Marvell and successfully leads it amidst Intel's struggles, this could ultimately position Marvell favorably. Nevertheless, investor sentiment may influence Marvell's share price positively or negatively in the near term depending on news about Intel's CEO search.
