Intel Reports Q3 Earnings with Strong Net Income but Issues Weak Q4 Revenue Guidance
Intel (INTC) reported third-quarter revenues of $16.5 billion, representing a 20% year-over-year increase that met market expectations. Despite the top-line performance being in line with estimates, the company saw significant growth in profitability, with non-GAAP gross margins reaching 44.1% and adjusted net income surging 169% to $2.8 billion, resulting in a strong earnings per share beat. However, investor sentiment turned negative due to cautious forward-looking guidance. Management warned of accelerating weakness in the PC market and projected Q4 revenues between $15 billion and $16 billion, which fell significantly below consensus estimates. The company also signaled that market softness is expected to persist through 2027, causing a sharp decline in Intel's stock price.
