The company also announced a significant workforce reduction, planning to trim headcount by 15%\u2014down to approximately 75,000 employees by year-end\u2014as part of broader restructuring efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intel shares rose more than 2% in after-hours trading following the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Q2, Intel reported an adjusted EPS loss of $0.10 on revenue of $12.8 billion. Analysts had projected a modest $0.01 profit on $11.8 billion in revenue, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. The same quarter last year saw Intel break even at $0.02 EPS with the same revenue figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the beat on top-line performance, Intel\u2019s Products business, which includes client PCs and data center chips, delivered a disappointing $7.9 billion in revenue\u2014well below the anticipated $10.9 billion. The company continues to face stiff competition from AMD and Qualcomm, both of which are gaining ground in the PC and AI chip segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intel\u2019s Foundry segment, its effort to manufacture chips for third-party customers, posted $4.2 billion in revenue, slightly under forecasts but still up 2% year-over-year. The unit is central to CEO Pat Gelsinger\u2019s turnaround strategy, though its progress has been mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intel previously secured chip-making deals with Microsoft and Amazon using its 18A process, but reports suggest it may pivot to promoting its upcoming 14A technology due to cost and efficiency considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a $98 billion market cap, Intel trails far behind AMD ($262B) and AI powerhouse Nvidia (over $4T). The company is aggressively cutting costs, reportedly closing its automotive unit, outsourcing marketing functions, and reducing factory staffing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intel&#8217;s future hinges on its ability to regain leadership in chip manufacturing while navigating fierce industry competition and evolving technology demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might like this article:<a href=\"https:\/\/stoxpo.com\/index.php\/2025\/07\/24\/accelerant-soars-in-nyse-debut-valued-at-6-4-billion\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Accelerant Soars in NYSE Debut, Valued at $6.4 Billion<\/mark><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chipmaker reports $12.8B in Q2 revenue, restructures amid competitive pressure and manufacturing pivot Intel (INTC) posted second-quarter results Thursday that exceeded Wall Street\u2019s revenue expectations but missed on earnings per share (EPS), citing impairment charges.
