(Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp. shares plummeted to their lowest close since December on Friday, after the chipmaker reported third-quarter results and detailed a spending plan that it said would pressure profitability over the next few years.

Most Read from Bloomberg

The stock fell 12%, its biggest one-day percentage decline since July 2020, marking the sixth straight quarter where Intel’s results were met with a negative reaction. The drop to $49.46 a share erased $26.6 billion in value, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, cutting its market capitalization to about $201 billion. For the first time, Intel is smaller than Broadcom Inc., which has a market valuation above $212 billion.

The Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index fell 1.2% on Friday, though some names are expected to benefit from Intel’s spending plans. Semiconductor capital equipment stocks were especially strong, with Applied Materials Inc. up 1.9% and KLA Corp. up 2.2%. Lam Research rose 0.2%.

Applied Materials gets about 8.8% of its revenue from Intel, according to supply-chain data compiled by Bloomberg, while Lam gets a little more than 8% and KLA derives about 7.8%.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc., a primary rival to Intel, rose 0.4% on Friday.

At least four Intel analysts downgraded the stock after the report. Mizuho Securities cut its view to neutral, writing that the “capital-intensive Foundry shift adds uncertainty to its likelihood of catching up to leading-edge by executing on its core PC/Server roadmap.” Morgan Stanley cut the stock to equal weight, as the capital spending plan “requires underwriting a growth forecast that seems challenging.”

The consensus rating for the stock -- a proxy for its ratio of buy, hold, and sell ratings -- stands at 3.30 out of five, down from 3.43 over the weekend, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The average price target is $57, compared with $63 on Sunday. The current average points to upside of 16%.

    Shares of Intel Corp sank on Thursday as the company reported third-quarter sales that missed expectations, with Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger telling Reuters that shortages of ancillary chips needed to make full computers are holding back sales of the company's flagship processor chips. Shares of Santa Clara, California-based Intel, the world's biggest maker of central processors at the heart of PCs and data center servers, fell 9% in extending trading. Gelsinger said Intel has resolved shortages facing its own internal manufacturing operations, but that shortages of other chips such as power management chips and WiFi chips were stopping its customers from shipping PCs and servers, reducing the need for Intel's chips.
