Intel's current valuation assumes a quick margin recovery and success in its foundry business, but these are not yet proven. While its DCAI segment shows strong growth, foundry revenue from external customers is still limited, with a significant operating loss reported in Q2.

Capital spending is expected to exceed $20 billion in 2026, with risks including contract execution, margin pressure, high capital intensity, and geopolitical and PC market challenges.
