Intel reports strong server growth but stock drops after earnings in line with expectations

Intel Corporation reported earnings and guidance that met expectations, driven by strong performance in its Server business (DCAI) with $7.3 billion revenue and 80% year-over-year growth. This growth offset weakness in the client segment. Management aims for over 50% gross margins long-term, supported by advances in 18A and 14A process technologies and expected synergies by 2028. Despite the positive fundamentals, Intel's stock price fell sharply after the announcement, leading the analyst to rate the stock as a Hold until clearer technical signals indicate a market bottom, with significant upside potential as PC and server markets recover.

Intel's stock price on Pluang dropped sharply by 8.53% to USD 60.15 as of Nov 03, 2026 02:51 WIB, reflecting significant market reaction despite the company's strong Server business growth. The stock's market capitalization stands at $349.51 billion, with a dividend yield of 2.24%. This decline aligns with the article's note of a sharp fall, while Pluang data shows a balanced order activity of 42% Sell and 58% Buy, indicating mixed investor sentiment.
