Intel Shares Surge 30% as It Forecasts Second-Quarter Revenue Above Estimates

Intel Reports Strong Q1 2026 Results, Raises Q2 Forecast, and Announces Strategic Partnerships with Tesla, Google, and Nvidia

Intel reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of approximately $13.58 billion, surpassing estimates of $12.42 billion, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.29 beating the expected $0.01. The stock surged 15% after hours. The company forecasted second-quarter revenue between $13.8 billion and $14.8 billion, driven by strong demand for AI-focused server CPUs. CEO Lip-Bu Tan's revival plan includes asset sales, layoffs, and strategic partnerships with Tesla, Google, and Nvidia. Key developments include new manufacturing deals with Tesla using Intel's 14A technology and a factory buyback. Despite challenges in manufacturing technology and AI data center market share, Intel's outlook is positive with support from major partners and government backing. Additionally, Intel's stock surged nearly 19% in after-hours trading, poised for its best post-earnings performance on record, driven by rising demand for AI-related products and new partnerships.

Intel's own business accounted for most of the foundry revenue, save for less than $200 million which Zinsner described as \"legacy business that we have mainly on the wafer side.\"Zinsner said that Intel's business of making custom chips, called ASICs, was on track for more than $1 billion in revenue this year.DATA CENTER REVENUE EXCEEDS ESTIMATESIntel earlier this month expanded its AI CPU partnership with Alphabet's GOOGL.O Google, and joined Musk's Terafab AI chip complex project with SpaceX and Tesla to make processors powering robotics and data centers.First-quarter revenue came in at $13.58 billion, beating estimates of $12.42 billion. Zinsner said that some of those sales were either old or poorly functioning chips Intel had shelved.\"What we were able to do in the first quarter was go through finished goods inventory and find opportunities to sell product we didn't think we would be able to move,\" Zinsner told analysts during the conference call.Revenue in the company's data center and AI segment came in at $5.1 billion, compared with estimates of $4.41 billion.Competition in the CPU space remains high, as rivals Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Arm also eye the market and roll out products to get ahead.Intel reported a first-quarter loss per share of 73 cents as it incurred more than $4 billion in restructuring charges. On an adjusted basis, the company earned 29 cents per share, beating the estimate of 1 cent.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"07766":0.6,"LINT":0.6,"INTC":2,"INTW":0.6}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":124,"optionInvolvedFlag":false,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/557032482304072"}
