Strategic redirection is typically an area that is carefully watched by the financial analysts as it directly affects the long term outlook for a company. Interestingly the financial analysts seem to not care or agree with Intel's assessment. Since the middle of this year the Intel share price has been on a steady rise and has reached its highest point since October 2000. The remaining question is what this means for Intel's long term outlook in this market. From an outside perspective Intel seems to give up another chance to secure market share in the mobile market segment, on the other hand they may have concluded that the wearable and AR/VR markets are not ready for prime time and fighting for a small part of a small market is just efficient for Intel.
