Intel Corporation, one of the world's most iconic semiconductor companies, has been experiencing significant challenges in recent years. Its struggles have not only impacted its stock price but have led many to wonder if it might soon be removed from the prestigious Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). In this blog, we'll explore Intel's current issues, look at the last time a company (Exxon Mobil) was removed from the DJIA and its aftermath, and assess the likelihood that Intel might face a similar fate.

These delays have resulted in a loss of technological leadership and market share.
