Intel's Q3 revenue hits $16.5B; Q4 guidance misses expectations, cautious Buy rating given.

Intel reported Q3 revenue of $16.5 billion with a 78% year-over-year surge in its Data Center and AI (DCAI) segment, generating $3 billion in operating profit. However, its Q4 revenue and adjusted EPS guidance fell short of analyst expectations by about 9% and 42%, respectively. Despite ongoing supply constraints expected through mid-2027, server CPU unit growth could exceed 30% in 2026 and 2027. The analyst values Intel at $82 per share, suggesting a 25% upside from the current $65.76 price, supporting a cautious Buy recommendation despite some losses and capital expenditure concerns.

Intel's recent revenue report and cautious outlook come as the stock trades lower on Pluang, reflecting some investor hesitation. As of Nov 02, 2026 22:12 WIB, Intel shares are priced at USD 64.06, down 2.59% for the day, with a market cap of $349.51 billion. The stock remains well below its 52-week high of $140.94, indicating ongoing volatility in the technology sector.
