Intel (INTC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Intel demonstrates a positive outlook driven by substantial growth in its Foundry segment, with revenue anticipated to increase significantly due to higher volumes of 18A products and an advantageous product mix. The Data Center AI (DCAI) segment achieved remarkable performance, with a sequential revenue increase of 15%, highlighting a robust demand for server CPU refresh cycles within hyperscale environments and contributing to an annual revenue growth. Additionally, the custom ASIC segment surpassed a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate, reflecting a year-over-year growth of 50%, underscoring the company's overall upward momentum and potential for sustained financial improvement.
Bears say
Intel's stock outlook is negatively impacted by elevated valuations, declining revenue estimates, and increased competition in both core and non-core markets. For the first quarter of 2026, the company anticipates a revenue drop to $12.2 billion, representing a 10.8% sequential decrease and falling short of both prior estimates and market consensus. Additionally, despite an increase in AI PC units, overall revenue has declined, resulting in an earnings per share miss attributable to lower-than-expected revenue and gross margin performance.
