Intel Corporation is set to release its third-quarter earnings for 2025, with expectations of a modest revenue increase and a slight improvement in earnings per share compared to the previous year. The company’s stock has surged by 85% this year, largely due to significant deals such as a $2 billion investment from SoftBank and a new CPU partnership with Nvidia. Despite these positive developments, Intel’s foundry business faces challenges with production delays and uncertainty over its next-generation chip technology, keeping Wall Street cautious ahead of the earnings report.
Analysts have mixed views on Intel’s future, with some raising their price targets while maintaining a neutral stance. The company recently lost a key figure in its design operations, which has raised concerns among investors. However, Intel’s potential new client, reportedly Microsoft, for its 18A process could help alleviate some of these worries. Additionally, Intel has been quietly raising prices on older desktop processors, possibly to encourage sales of its newer models. Overall, analysts maintain a Hold consensus on Intel stock, with a significant downside risk implied by the average price target.
