Estimates — analyst targets and a simplified DCF, not investment advice.
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 Corp. designs and manufactures computing solutions, combining its x86 processor franchise, personal computer and server products, foundry and advanced packaging operations, and custom chip design. In fiscal Q2 2026, the Client Computing and Physical AI group generated $8.9 billion in revenue, while Data Center and AI revenue was approximately $6.3 billion and Intel Foundry revenue was approximately $5.8 billion, including $293 million from external foundry customers; segment figures include internal transactions and therefore cannot be added directly to arrive at the company’s consolidated revenue. The company also generates revenue from Xeon 6, Core and Arc products, Intel 18A platforms, ASIC designs, and EMIB-T advanced packaging.
Fiscal Q2 2026 revenue was approximately $16.1 billion, up 25.42% year over year according to August 13, 2026 news, and $1.8 billion above the midpoint of management’s guidance. Gross profit according to EDGAR filings was approximately $6.5 billion, equivalent to a gross margin of about 40.4%, while the company recorded a GAAP net loss of $11.0 billion and a loss per share of $2.16; by contrast, management reported a non-GAAP gross margin of 41.8% and adjusted earnings per share of $0.42. AI-driven businesses contributed approximately 70% of revenue and grew by more than 70% year over year, while Data Center and AI revenue increased 59% year over year to $6.3 billion and operating profit reached $2.5 billion.
The analyst consensus is Neutral, with an average price target of $110.3, compared with a high target of $200 and a low target of $60; this wide range reflects substantial differences in assessments of the success of the operating and foundry recovery. The average target is approximately 22.5% below the 52-week range high of $142.35, while the stock’s range during the period extends from $23.68 to $142.35. No meaningful price-to-earnings ratio is available given the $11.3 billion loss for the twelve months ended in fiscal 2026, so the valuation depends heavily on achieving server growth and improving Intel Foundry, weighed against capital expenditure and ownership dilution risks.

Revenue reached $16.1 billion, up 25.42% year over year and $1.8 billion above the midpoint of management’s guidance. Data Center and AI revenue jumped 59% year over year to $6.3 billion, driven by cloud and enterprise computing demand and the acceleration of Xeon 6. AI PC revenue also grew 26% sequentially and came to represent two-thirds of Client Computing group revenue, while improved manufacturing yields, pricing, and product mix helped raise adjusted gross margin to 41.8%.
No. EDGAR filings showed a GAAP net loss of $11.0 billion and a loss per share of $2.16. By contrast, the company reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.42 versus prior guidance of $0.20, with an adjusted gross margin of 41.8%. The difference between the two figures reflects the importance of distinguishing between accounting results and non-GAAP results when evaluating the recovery.
Intel 18A output increased by more than 50% sequentially in fiscal Q2 2026 and exceeded the internal target by approximately 25%, with Panther Lake, Wildcat Lake, and the Clearwater Forest server product running on the node. Intel 18A-P entered pilot production, and management said it provides a 5% performance improvement compared with Intel 18A while maintaining design compatibility. For Intel 14A, the PDK 0.5 release was completed, and the PDK 0.9 release was targeted for October 2026, with pilot production targeted for the second half of 2027 and high-volume production in 2028.

Intel allocated the offering proceeds to fund capital expenditures and working capital amid its expansion in manufacturing and AI projects. The offering size was increased from $15 billion to $20 billion and included approximately 210.5 million shares at an offering price of $95 and a stated discount of 6.5%. The issuance provides additional funding for a plan that includes capital expenditures exceeding $20 billion in fiscal 2026, but it dilutes the ownership stakes of existing shareholders and raises the threshold required to achieve an adequate return on capital.
Management guided to revenue of $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion, with a midpoint of $16.3 billion. At that midpoint, it expects an adjusted gross margin of 42%, adjusted earnings per share of $0.38, and a tax rate of 11%. The company expects client revenue to remain approximately flat, with better growth in edge computing, while server growth remains constrained by the availability of chips, memory, substrates, and packaging.
The custom chip business approached an annual revenue run rate of $2 billion in fiscal Q2 2026, after revenue nearly tripled year over year and grew approximately 20% sequentially. Management targets an annual run rate of $4 billion, and the announced progress includes collaboration with Fortinet to develop a security processor and with SambaNova on heterogeneous inference. In advanced packaging, management said the EMIB-T backlog is growing and that yields and reliability are meeting targets, with a focus on supporting customer production ramps in 2027.
