Overview
- Intel posted Q3 revenue of about $13.7 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.23 with a 40% adjusted gross margin, ending a six‑quarter losing streak.
- Management guided Q4 revenue to $12.8–$13.8 billion with roughly $0.08 in adjusted EPS, with some prior estimates still counting spun‑off Altera sales.
- The U.S. government’s roughly 10% stake ($8.9 billion) and SoftBank’s $2 billion are in place, and Nvidia’s $5 billion investment is expected to close this quarter, the CFO said.
- Intel Foundry generated $4.2 billion in revenue but lost about $2.3 billion, with limited external customer traction and advanced‑node yield issues still unresolved.
- Cost cuts have reduced headcount by more than 20% and asset sales boosted liquidity, leaving about $30.9 billion in cash and short‑term investments after $4.3 billion of debt repayment, as demand outpaces supply into 2026.
