Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Intel is an integrated semiconductor company that combines processor design, manufacturing, and packaging. It generates revenue from personal computer and server processors, custom-designed chips, and Intel Foundry and advanced packaging services; its combination of the x86 franchise, factory network, and technologies such as Intel 18A and EMIB-T gives it a model spanning design through production.
In fiscal Q2 2026 (ended 2026-06-27), revenue reached $16.1 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 25.4% from $12.9 billion in fiscal Q2 2025. Gross margin expanded to 40.4% from 27.5%, and operating margin turned positive at 11.1% from -24.7%, but net income remained negative at -$11.0 billion and diluted earnings per share at -2.16. Operating cash flow reached $7.0 billion.
Operating activity in fiscal Q2 2026 was distributed across CCPG, with revenue of $8.9 billion; DCAI, with revenue of $6.3 billion; and Intel Foundry, with revenue of $5.8 billion before intersegment transactions, while external foundry revenue reached $293 million. Management said AI-driven activities represented about 70% of revenue, with strong growth in servers, edge computing, and custom-designed chips. Meanwhile, the company ended the period with $29.7 billion in cash and investments and $48.5 billion in total debt.

The analyst target method produces a median of $110 within a range of $60 to $200 from 16 analysts. It measures expected growth and profitability and is inherently inclined toward optimism; the consensus average is $110.97 with a Neutral recommendation. The industry multiple method produces a value of $64 within a range of $39 to $102, based on next year's earnings and a median multiple of 33.2 across 69 companies, pricing Intel similarly to its peers. The two methods agree on an overlapping range between $60 and $102, but the difference between their central values reflects analysts' targets incorporating growth and operating turnaround expectations, versus the industry multiple's reliance on peer pricing; no numerical value was included for the cash flow model, which is inherently inclined toward conservatism because it measures the cash generated by the company. The breadth of the estimate range supports this divergence, as Tigress Financial raised its target to $145 on 2026-09-15, while UBS lowered its target to $112 on 2026-08-12, and the valuation pillar of the EL7 score stood at 24 out of 100 within the industry and ranked 135 out of 172.
Figures in the text are as of 2026-09-27; the live price is shown at the top of the page.
Revenue in fiscal Q2 2026 (ended 2026-06-27) reached about $16.1 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 25.4% from $12.9 billion. DCAI revenue grew 59% year over year and 24% quarter over quarter, supported by server demand and the launch of Xeon 6+ called Clearwater Forest. CCPG revenue also reached about $8.9 billion, with AI PC revenue growing 26% quarter over quarter and its contribution rising to two-thirds of client business revenue.
Intel 18A production exceeded its target by about 25% in fiscal Q2 2026 (ended 2026-06-27) and rose by more than 50% from the previous quarter. Management said yields were progressing ahead of expectations, and the company began trial production of 18A-P during the same period. However, Intel Foundry recorded an operating loss of $2.1 billion, and external foundry revenue did not exceed $293 million, so converting technical progress into external profitability remains a key test.

Non-GAAP gross margin at 42%

AI-driven activities represented about 70% of fiscal Q2 2026 revenue (ended 2026-06-27), according to management's presentation. DCAI revenue reached about $6.3 billion, up 59% year over year, with strong demand from cloud service providers and enterprises. The custom-designed chip business also approached an annual revenue run rate of $2 billion, and the company links its expansion to products such as Intel IPU and the Fortinet collaboration.
Cash and investments reached $29.7 billion and total debt reached $48.5 billion in fiscal Q2 2026 (ended 2026-06-27). Intel generated free cash flow of $2.8 billion over the last 12 months through 2026-06-27, while raising its fiscal 2026 capital expenditure forecast to more than $20 billion. Management expects substantially higher capital expenditure in fiscal 2027 and indicated that it may access capital markets if operating success requires additional investment.
During the 90 days through 2026-09-27, one open-market purchase worth $10.0 million was recorded. No sales were recorded, so the value of sales under 10b5-1 plans was zero and the value of sales outside them was zero. These figures describe only the disclosed activity during the period and do not independently determine the direction of the company's results or valuation.
The company targets fiscal Q3 2026 revenue between $15.8 billion and $16.8 billion, with a midpoint of $16.3 billion. It also targets a non-GAAP gross margin of 42% and non-GAAP earnings per share of 0.38. Management expects supply to remain extremely tight, with greater improvement in availability near the end of Q3 and entering fiscal Q4 2026.
