In the stock markets, stock prices have been the main leading indicator. Therefore, the impact or real story behind any news is often reflected in the stock price. The resignation of Intel (INTC) Chief Accounting Officer Scott Gawel can be seen as a possible red flag.
However, INTC stock tells a different story. Momentum remains positive and new highs are likely in the coming days. The bullish trend is supported by excellent first quarter results, coupled with optimistic growth prospects. Therefore, the CAO’s resignation appears to be a non-issue as markets continue to focus on growth drivers.
