Intel Q1 Revenue Expected to Decline, Adjusted EPS to Plunge
Summary
Intel is expected to report a decline in first-quarter revenue to $12.41 billion from $12.67 billion a year ago, alongside a significant drop in adjusted earnings per share to 2 cents from 13 cents, according to a Dow Jones preview. This negative financial outlook precedes the company's Q1 results scheduled for Thursday. While Intel recently announced an expanded AI partnership with Google and secured a substantial $27 billion government stake, these expected financial headwinds could temper investor sentiment. The anticipated revenue and adjusted EPS decline may pressure the stock, especially as it trades near its 52-week high. Traders will be keenly focused on the actual earnings release and management's commentary regarding PC market demand, memory costs, and updates on strategic initiatives.
At the time of this announcement, INTC was trading at $66.95 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $327.7B. The 52-week trading range was $18.97 to $70.33.
