Intel Moved 20%—But What Actually Changed?

I’ve been looking at Intel through a slightly different lens: separating the stock move and surrounding narrative from changes in the underlying evidence.

That raises a broader investing question I think is useful beyond INTC:

**When a stock makes a major move, what evidence do you require before deciding the underlying thesis actually changed?**

Filings? Guidance? Margins? Capital allocation? Management language? Something else?

I put together a short visual showing how I’m thinking about it. Curious how others here separate a genuine fundamental change from a change in expectations/narrative.
