Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) exceeded Q4 earnings expectations but issued a cautious Q1 2025 outlook, causing mixed investor sentiment. Shares rose over 1% in pre-market trading. Q4 adjusted EPS was $0.13, beating estimates of $0.12, with revenue at $14.26 billion, a 7% YoY decline. Full-year 2024 revenue was $53.1 billion, down 2% annually.

Despite beating earnings, Intel’s Q1 2025 revenue forecast of $11.7-12.7 billion and EPS range of -$0.27 to break-even missed analyst estimates. Gross margin guidance of 36% fell short of the expected 39%. Co-CEO Michelle Johnston Holthaus highlighted progress but cited challenges like macroeconomic headwinds and competition affecting near-term performance.
