Intel Q3 beats revenue but profit falls; Q4 guidance disappoints, stock valuation pressured

Intel reported Q3 revenue of $16.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.52, beating expectations on top-line but showing an 18% drop in GAAP net income year-over-year due to profit pressures. Growth in data center and foundry segments was offset by weakness in client computing, especially soft PC demand. The company’s Q4 guidance fell short of expectations with revenue projected at $15–16 billion and adjusted EPS at $0.25, raising concerns about the sustainability of Intel's current stock valuation. Investors are advised to consider reducing exposure amid these challenges.

Following Intel's disappointing Q4 guidance, its shares have sharply declined. On Pluang, INTC trades at USD 72.55, down 24.06% in one day as of Oct 30, 2026 04:41 WIB. The stock's market cap stands at $504.98 billion, with a dividend yield of 2.24%, while typical investors hold the stock for about 116 days. Despite the sell-off, Pluang order activity shows 60% of investors buying and 40% selling.
