Moody’s Investors Service lowered Intel Corp.’s senior unsecured debt rating to Baa2, placing the chipmaker two notches above speculative grade. The action, announced on 12 August 2025, shifts the rating from the previous Baa1 level and positions Intel midway within Moody’s investment-grade scale. Moody’s assigned a Stable outlook, indicating it does not anticipate further rating changes in the near term. The agency did not release detailed commentary in the notice circulated Tuesday, but the Stable designation signals expectations that Intel’s credit profile will remain steady following the downgrade.
