I checked the stock of Intel during the FDIV bug (1994/1995) where they had to go as far as recalling the affected processors at a cost of $500M in January 1995 and there was basically zero effect. By the end of 1995 the stock had actually pretty much doubled in value..

I personally think FDIV made Intel money, it told the world how important Intel was. It wasn't just the calculator sitting on some trader's desk. It ran the stock market and the stock market responded.
