Intel reported its fastest growth in 15 years with Q2 revenue up 25%, driven by strong margin expansion in its Data Center and AI businesses. The company raised PC CPU prices three times in a year, focusing on profitability despite a shrinking PC market forecast for 2026. Its foundry segment remains mostly internal, with external revenue only 5% and no major external customer deals expected before 2028. Intel's demand conversion is strong, leading to an upgrade to Hold, but valuation remains high and key foundry catalysts are still awaited.
Intel's recent upgrade to Hold comes as its stock shows strong momentum on Pluang, rising 9.38% to USD 110.53 as of Sep 17, 2026, 22:03 WIB. Despite the fast growth and price hikes, the valuation remains high with a market cap of $534.16 billion. Investor interest leans slightly bullish with 59% of orders to buy, reflecting ongoing confidence in the company's profitability focus and growth prospects.
