Intel (INTC) is set to report Q1 earnings with positive expectations, but facing competition hurdles

From Nasdaq, Inc.: 2025-04-22 11:18:00

Intel Corporation (INTC) is set to report Q1 2025 earnings on April 24, with sales estimated at $12.32 billion and earnings at a penny per share. Analysts predict a decline in earnings estimates for 2025 and 2026.

Intel has had a history of mixed earnings surprises, beating estimates twice in the last four quarters. Expectations are high for an earnings beat in Q1 2025 due to a positive Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank.

Factors shaping Intel’s upcoming results include the launch of new AI solutions and processors to meet high demand for AI workloads. However, competition from NVIDIA and AMD, declining trends in certain segments, and geopolitical challenges in China pose risks.

Despite challenges, Intel remains undervalued compared to the industry. Strategic decisions to focus on AI, software, and IoT show promise for growth. However, caution is advised due to declining earnings estimates and performance compared to peers.
