Did INTC Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Intel's second quarter told a split story: revenue came in at $12.86 billion, beating the $11.88 billion consensus by 8.22% and holding essentially flat year-over-year, yet the company posted an adjusted loss of $0.10 per share against an expected ga… Read more Intel's second quarter told a split story: revenue came in at $12.86 billion, beating the $11.88 billion consensus by 8.22% and holding essentially flat year-over-year, yet the company posted an adjusted loss of $0.10 per share against an expected gain of roughly $0.01, a miss of more than 1,175%. The culprit was a wave of one-time charges, $1.90 billion in restructuring costs tied to a 15% workforce reduction, roughly $800 million in non-cash impairment and accelerated depreciation on excess tools, and $200 million in additional period costs, that collectively overwhelmed the operating picture. CEO Lip-Bu Tan framed the quarter as early evidence of improved execution, pointing to Intel 18A production wafers now running in Arizona and Panther Lake on track to ship this year, even as rival CPU share gains from AMD underscore the competitive pressure Intel faces. Looking ahead, Intel guided Q3 revenue of $12.60 billion to $13.60 billion with non-GAAP EPS at breakeven, suggesting investors should watch whether the turnaround gains traction in the coming quarters.
Key Takeaways
