Intel Tops S&P 500's Q4 Losers, Down 56.5% as Tech Takes 35 of 50 Worst Spots

Intel is wearing the crown nobody wants this quarter. The chipmaker sits at the top of the S&P 500's worst-performing list for Q4, down 56.5% through Nov. 5, according to Fiscalai data shared by Cointelegraph.

The pain isn't isolated to one semiconductor giant. Tech companies make up 35 of the 50 biggest losers in the index over that same stretch, meaning more than two-thirds of the worst drawdowns belong to a single sector.

That concentration is the headline. A quarter that started with tech carrying the index is finishing with tech dragging the bottom of the leaderboard, and the damage is spread wide rather than limited to a handful of names.

The numbers come from Fiscalai, with Cointelegraph flagging the update to its followers. The tally covers performance through Nov. 5, so there's still runway left in the quarter for the rankings to shift before the books close.

For now, Intel holds the dubious top spot — and tech holds most of the rest of the list.
