Intel’s (INTC) shares dropped after reporting Q4 earnings that beat expectations but provided a weaker-than-expected outlook for Q1. Q4 revenue reached $13.7 billion, exceeding estimates and the company’s own guidance, with growth in AI infrastructure and double-digit increases in demand for various products. Profitability was also better than anticipated, driven by higher revenue and improved margins. However, supply constraints are expected to impact Q1 results, with revenue guidance of $12.2 billion and breakeven profitability. Despite near-term challenges, Intel’s outlook improves in 2026, with AI demand driving growth. Analysts maintain a “Hold” rating on the stock.
