After four years of shouting ‘sell,’ even the loudest Intel bears are starting to hum a different tune. JPMorgan’s upgrade on Oct. 19 marks a turning point where manufacturing progress is finally outweighing legacy failures. This isn’t a finished turnaround, but it’s a massive sentiment swing that’s forcing short-sellers to cover. The risk is the factory floor: one missed milestone and the skeptics come back with a vengeance.
